Add to that the goalie market is flooded this summer. Lots of value to be had.

Elliott & Bishop will definitely struggle to get the dollars they want this summer. There are only 3-5 teams looking for a #1:
Calgary - obvious
Dallas - would need to rid themselves of Lehtonen ($5.9M) and Niemi ($4.5M) first though. Is that possible?
Winnipeg - they won't do a Hutchinson/Hellebuyck duo again next year
Ottawa - I don't actually think they'll be looking, as Anderson still has a year on his contract and has been outstanding, but I think there's potential that Anderson steps back or retires due to what's happening in his personal life.
Las Vegas - obvious
Available goaltenders:
Elliott
Fleury
Bishop
Mason
Miller
Kuemper
Johnson
Nilsson
Bernier
Howard/Mrazek
Raanta/Lundqvist
Edit: should have included Philadelphia
