All true but 70 million that is virtually buyout proof is what makes the difference. If Darlin g is bad you can manage the bad contract for 3 years at approximately 1 million more than backup money. If price is bad you're stuck for 8 years and you can't even have a good backup because youre already at the top for what most pay for 2 goaliesBoth had a remarkably bad year compared to their previous ones so it's hard to say what's their actual level going forward but... whether you have someone who was considered as the undisputed best goalie in the world not too long ago or you have someone who used to be a great backup goalie until he was absolutely crushed at his first starter job, I know which one I would take no matter what kinda contracts they have (and they are both really bad). One is proven, one is very much not. If you're a contender, you should have a goalie you can rely on.
There is literally nothing you can do unless he plays like an Elite goalie. And since he is already 30 health will always be a concern. The pressure will never abate on Carey either since its montreal. So i'd still rather deal with Darling
