That is quite the gap...
I don't know who Ullmark would offer up as a comparable? Doing a simple scan there were 5 goalies last season on RFA contracts who played 30-40 games.
Grubauer, $3.3m
Saros $1.5m
Ullmark $750k
Campbell $675k
Binnington $650k
Grubauer has an NHL sample size twice that of Ullmark with significantly better stats (career .921 vs .910 for Ullmark). Binnington got his big raise this season because of his performance in the playoffs, something Ullmark doesn't have.
I suppose Saros would be who Ullmark would target, but Saros has a career .920 save % vs. Ullmark's .910 save %. I'm thinking Ullmark would be in good shape to get $1-$1.25m.
