Im so confused by everything Seattle has done. Like is there even a plan or are they just trying to wing it
Teams need a 3rd/4th goaltender for depth purposes, not sure why that's so confusing.

As others mentioned, Seattle will be sharing an AHL affiliate with Florida this season so we'll see if Bibeau ends up being loaned out elsewhere. Seattle also has Joey Daccord and Florida has (presumably) Sam Montembeault and Chris Gibson, so there might be a crowded crease. Bibeau probably got one of the last AHL spots left open; With Carey Price's injury, it looks like Montreal has a spot open eventually. I might have missed a signing and/or which European goalies might be loaned out, but here's a rough idea of current goalie depth charts around the league:
