Takes a lot of pressure off of the young unproven goalies and more importantly the rest of the team. Otherwise the trial by fire that's going to take place is more reminiscent of our neighbours up north than any other team.
And we've already had the argument about having a full cupboard of goalies before when Irving and Keetley were fighting for goalie of the future status with McElhinney, Lalande, and Krahn in the system as well!

MacDonald has played 122 NHL games.
Ramo has played 48 NHL games and 211 KHL games.
Berra has played 245 games in the top Swiss league.
None of them are young either. At the start of next season they will be 33, 27, and 26 respectively.
While I understand the need for good goaltending, I think the best course is to see if we already have it before we go looking for it.
