Not really. The market for goalies has never been all that strong. Consequence of there being more decent goalies than starting spots. The only goalies getting higher picks are young goalies expected to be elite and who can be controlled for many years. Even a goalie like Bishop - who arguably fulfils that elite spot - won't fetch that due to his pending UFA status. And Bishop is a few steps above Fleury.
The Pens screwed themselves by overreaching.
