He hasn't been up to his 7th highest paid goalie level for sure.
But when you look at it, about 22 goaltenders make around $5M (say $4.5+) or more and he's ranked 25th so it's not a huge cap leak in a league with top end skaters pushing $9M+ in most cities. (He's ranked 25th on Moneypuck for GSAA)
I hope he bounces back to his usual level, his salary isn't a huge issue.
Flames are lucky to have a great back up on a decent ticket as well.
