Still think only elite goalies should get anything over 7M per season. If you are mid-tier, you should be getting around 4-6M per season on shorter term deals.

It's a pretty select group of goalies that are getting these contracts. All guys with pretty consistent histories for the most part.
Let's also keep in mind that the Flames signed a 30 year old Markstrom to a $6 million x 6 year contract 4 years ago. So consistent goalies have always been getting paid. It just seems like for the last few years, not many goalies have been consistent.
