You are assuming we would want another team's starter though - my guess is we go the same route as those other teams and look at a younger backup, somebody like Murray, Pickard, Hammond, Vasilevskiy, Korpisalo, Kuemper, Allen, or Andersen.
If you look at a starter now it's probably somebody like Halak or Fleury, who IMO will not cost a lot. I think the ship has sailed on Elliott or Bishop due to the strong playoff performance.
We potentially looking at signing Reimer to help support the other younger goalie if we go that route.
