Dubnyk played 19 games for the coyotes (as a UFA signed for $800) going 9-5-2 before being traded to MIN. The year before that he went from EDM to NSH to the AHL (MTL). Bob Mason is the guy in MIN.
Interesting that of those 6 teams, 4 have former goalies as the goalie coach.
Schneider was acquired for a top 10 pick (#9 Bo Horvat). Would you trade Monahan for Schneider? Would you trade Monahan for any goalie?
Again, goalies are crapshoots.

Again, no, Bishop was traded from LA to the Stars on May 9th and the stars then extended him 3 days later well before he hit free agency. He also signed a 6 year deal at 4.92 AAV. Any other easily googled facts you would like to mix up?
For a 26-27 year old elite goaltender I absolutely would give up a first round pick. I don’t understand your Monahan comparison. Monahan is a developed 1C who would return way more than a first round pick in the draft. Using your logic, would I trade Bennett for a Schneider level goalie just entering his prime? Yah, I would. But that’s not what Schneider was traded for. He was traded for the ninth overall pick in the draft, and the Devils absolutely won that trade.
