Jonas Hiller quit on everyone. That wasn't on Sigalet.
The reality is, Jonas Hiller was a free agent in the first place because a much better Anaheim Ducks team decided he wasn't the answer.
If Columbus or Colorado don't retain Bobrovksy or Varlamov, it is because they can't afford to.
The Flames had one of the best goalies in the world, and at the time they signed him to his last contract, he was costing 11.6% of the $50.3M cap.
Sign Bobrovsky for $10.5M/year when the cap is going to be north of $81M?
13% of the cap vs 11.6%. It's nothing. It's an extra useless fringe NHLer we can't give $3M to, so we're forced to play someone like Mangiapane. What a tragedy that would be.
Everyone remembers how great it was having Kiprusoff, right?
