Hammond, Pavelec, Khudobin, Hutton don't fall into the decent backup category anymore. Not your names, but that's because you weren't willing to put out a name. Those are the only names that anyone opposes the signing have thrown out.
Hutton won 17 games and put up a .931 SV% this season.
Khudobin won 15 games and posted a .913 Sv%.
I dunno what more you want from a back up G.
You can also expand the search to look at guys who are likely near the end of the line and may just want to get one more NHL contract, guys like Cam Ward, Jaro Halak, or Chad Johnson.
There's a risk to signing any back up goalie because back up goalies are, by definition, lower quality netminders. But you know what you're getting, unlike Koskanen.
