It’s well within reason.

2.75m is too much for a guy who will probably play 15-20 games. Maybe it would be different if he was really good but we are talking about an average goalie here. We have a star starter now who costs 6m, no need for an average backup at almost half that. You could probably get a guy like Dell for 1m and have essentially the same level of talent for 7m instead of almost 9m. Every little bit counts when you have two 4th line talents in Ryan and Lucic making nearly a combined 8.5m. That's not even mentioning Bennett, who i think makes too much as well. Don't forget the buyouts too. BT needs to create cap space wherever he can.
