I looked at Allen, then took a look at the free agent market coming up. There are goaltenders as good that should shake loose for less. I think they minimize the spend on goaltenders unless someone is willing to incentivize them to take one. Holtby and a free agent should get them through the next couple years and see if one of the two young tenders steps up. With $25M in cap space you can buy a pretty good first line, or a top forward, top defenseman, and a really good backup or tandem between the pipes with Holtby.
