Kipper was 26 when we traded for him. He started to show some flaws by the time he was 30 with two sub .910 seasons at 30/31. Retired at 35.
Even if he is good (IMO he's above average but a tier below great) you're going to get 2 good years out of him. Look at all those goalies and look when they start to decline - at 32/33 years old.
Give it 2 years and everyone clamoring for Markstrom will be talking about how his contract is an anchor.

So suggest someone.
Also, you have randomly decided that goalies fall off at 32-33. Some do, some don't. Kipper smoked a pack a day. Markstrom has played 284 games, and only 14 playoff games.

(by comparison, Holtby has played 476 regular season, and 97 playoff games)
