$7M x 5 years? Yeah, I'd probably do that. Either that, or acquire someone notable via trade (Kuemper would be my first choice). Matt Murray would be cool to get IF the team truly believed he could bounce back (I'm not sure he can - but at 26, I certainly understand the desire to see what may happen).
It is time to fill the #1 goalie position. Then let Rittich play his 35 games a season.

Hellebuyck signed a 6.17 x 6 year deal back when the cap was rising 10% a year and he was coming off a Vezina nomination season with 44 wins.
Now that it is flat for the next 4 or so years I don't think that there will be contract inflation for a 30 year old goalie that broke into the top 12 goalies stats wise for the first time in his career and has topped out at 28 wins in a season.
Cam Talbot had a 42 win season followed up with a 31 win season and his biggest contract was 4.2 x 3.
