With Freddie Andersen on IR, he's currently Carolina's backup to Anttii Raanta, and has played a total of 7 NHL games in his career (including 4 games this year, he is 2-0-2 with a 2.00 GAA and 0.914).

Not a big contract or a well-known name, but at the risk of saying this is just Carolina doing Carolina things with their goalies, is this a shrewd move or another case of Carolina pinching pennies between the pipes? Are goalies overvalued (or overpaid) in general in the NHL?
