But cap space and age are important things. Holtby/Talbot = Probably cheap, probably serviceable, probably short term. I can't see Markstrom getting a deal work less than $25 million for his 1 good season.
Winning cups with free agent goalies? That's not a thing. I believe it's been over 40 years since an NHL free agent goalie has won a cup. I went back to 1970 and couldn't find a single example.
