You get a starting goalie for $4.2M, and all we had to do is give up a college defenseman who wasn't signing with us and fall back seven picks in a weak draft.
At this point, I don't need a star goalie on this roster. I just need someone who, for 55-60 nights a year, is a no brainer to receive the starting assignment. Mike Smith is a little older. He could probably benefit from 30 games off a year - to me, that's more than enough opportunity to justify keeping Jon Gillies or Rittich as the full time backup.
I like it.
EDIT: For Hickey and a conditional 3rd, I like it even more.
