Lehner and Mrazek both signed for 1.5M. Of course they're both coming off down years, but they've also both proven they can play at a high level in this league. There would have been a risk with either of them, but not necessarily anymore so than an unproven KHL goalie. Plus they were both a million cheaper.
I'd assume they had no interest in teams where they didn't have a reasonable chance at starting or at least splitting games.
