The top 31 ranked goalies are rated 80 or better.

To me there should be a division at that rate in terms of pay at that section to make it more reflective of NHL salaries. The cap being 75 million is basically a direct comparable to the CPHL. You simply don't see more than 8-9 million being spent on a tandem.

79 OV should be about 2 mil less for UFA's than they are and about 1.5 less for RFA's and each subsequent tick down should be lower. The 45th ranked goalies should be a max of 2.5 as UFA's and 60th ones should be 1.25-1.5. Instead those goalies get 4.5 and 2.75 million minimum as UFA's. That's nuts. A team should be able to retain goaltenders.

You either force teams to go with a younger crappy goaltender for a year or two, which at that rate they might as well rebuild because having a crap goalie will sink your team even if you have a good group. Or you have to give away the young guy, which screws teams over if they are being competitive because veteran goalies can have short life spans and you need to have quality guys coming after them. It's really a lose lose situation.
