There is some hurry, depending on how you see the goalie market going. Right now, there are multiple teams coming off playoff losses all clamouring for goalies, which is driving up the price. In a couple of months, these teams will be thinking a little more rationally/long-term and many of these teams will have their goalie situations sorted.
It's possible the goalie market gets even better in the future, if teams really start going crazy with bidding wars, but I doubt it. Now was likely the right time to act.
