And if there is a goalie out there providing that level of service, I’d bet the team that has that goalie now isn’t in a hurry to move that goalie.

Again, a goalie who is making ~$1M as a solid backup is very good value and more than a few teams would see that. There are also a lot of teams out there who are doing a whole lot worse.
Maybe they would rather roll the dice on Cooley. Even cheaper. Less proven than Vladar. It seems NHL executives are always surprising us with the player valuations.
