I'm not saying make a backup goaltender into a #1, I'm saying find a guy who has been a good backup and kick him up a level to be a good 30-40 game starter or 1b guy. That guy should cost far less than 4.3 million and provide excellent value to the team. Even if Holtby plays great, if he's splitting time with Demko it's hard to gain value when he's making 4.3 million.
This is just my opinion. There shouldn't be a 30 to 40 game 1 B goalie. If the goalie is a 30 to 40 games 1 B goalie. That means he is not a legit number 1 goalie. If you're not a number 1 guy. You shouldn't play that many games. 1B goalie playing that many games will probably hurts your chances on getting into the playoffs. It's either you're capable of 50 to 60 games number 1 goalie or a 20 to 30 Backup. Nothing in between.
