Vans 1st and 50% retained probably gets yu 10 though, I agree with that. But IMO that would be easily worth it for the Flames.

Interesting. I was more of the opinion that having 2 years is added value because it is cost certainty, especially if you can get him 50% retained. 3M for a starting goalie with the cap expected to go up close to 10M over the next two years. Gives them some flexibility to sign Mercer and some other upcoming RFAs. Even if they go into next season with Allen and Markstrom as their duo, they would only be paying them a combined 4.9M.
