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.

We'll see what Swayman gets.
My prediction is the market will value Mercer around 6x8 and Swayman around 7x8 (with swayman having 2 years less of RFA control).
2 top 3-5 goalies in hockey literally just hit UFA. They got 8.25 and 8.5 mill.
