Quick is 37 and worse than Vladar. .876 on a great team. And he will expect a bigger salary than Vladar based on his name.
Varlamov is 35. And he's going to want $4M. Talbot - also 35, his numbers took a nosedive and were no better than Vladar's. Think he wants only $2.2 or less? See also Jones (33 and .887 on a good Seattle team). Halak is 38 years old. He might sign somewhere but you can't count on enough starts with a guy that old.
Talbot is 25 and people are writing him off as a backup?

Talbot signed for $1 mil. So will the others and this will drive down the value of Vladar when you can just sign guys like Talbot for half the money
