Back up goalies for legit starters make ~$1mil, and you can mitigate that by drafting and developing your backup goalie. There are lots of options to get 20 games out of someone for a reasonable cap hit. Especially on a well built roster.

(He also had a broken foot last season so I don’t know why everyone’s hung up on 51 games)
Okay, but thats still $10.5M+ tied up in goaltending.
