I think a lot more teams are going to pick up an extra goalie. It makes sense and isn't horrid at all for this season.
It is horrid in past seasons because goalies become a bit unsure of their future with the squad - these moves aren't going to make that happen.
More difficult in practices, but as long as the two main goalies are getting the bulk of the practices, that's ok. They will need to be rested if the schedule is condensed, and the team may find a situation that they can't recall a goalie due to shutdowns/border closures/etc.
I think Treliving was proactive here. I think all the goalies may find a home this season. I thought Schneider was destined for retirement, but not in this weird season.
