If Hart was going to play again this year and we saw he would be ok I would be more comfortable with a lesser backup next year than I wanted this seasons. But now we don’t know. But this past season , where the goal was to split starts with Hart, it was such a bad idea to put it all on Hart.

It'll be a lot easier to sign a 1B this offseason, because they know Hart will be treated with kid gloves, and even if he bounces back, the 1B will get 30-35 starts. That's a lot more attractive than backing up a kid coming off a great playoff who played 60+ games a year in junior.

Hart looked ready to be a #1 after last season.

They STILL should have aimed for a more capable backup though.

After last season there was reason to be optimistic, but there was also reason to be skeptical after watching him on the road last year.
I'm not sure what to expect from him anymore. Long term he'll be fine, but for next season he probably shouldn't be the undisputed starter.

Who?
Markstrom 6yr/$36M +0.37
Lehner 5yr/$25M -0.14
Holtby, 2yr/$8.6M +0.42
Khudobin, 3yr/$10M (returned to Dallas) +0.15
Greiss 2yr/$7.2M +0.23
Talbot 3yr/$11M -0.02

Mike Smith 1yr/$2M -0.05
Oilers re-sign Mike Smith and no one gets it
Laurent Broissoit 1yr/$1.5M -0.18
Ryan Miller 1yr/$1M +1.08
C Anderson 1yr?$700K +0.15 (3 games)

Think we tried for Talbot, he probably looked at Hart and decided he wasn't ready to spend the rest of his life sitting on a stool.
