Also, I am not sold that goalies will stay 'cheap'. Even if we are ignoring Bobrovsky and Vasilevskiy for the moment, the next wave of star goalies are coming up with Oettinger, Swayman, and Shesterkin all likely looking at big raises as their contracts come up.

I agree. Plus once a team find a good goalie fit, they hold onto them like a precious diamond. It is only the goalies who aren’t a good fit who get traded… or they are traded for a king’s (or devil’s) ransom
