Okay fine, I agree with Textcritic that the League is trending that way, but I also fully agree with Hendog.
How can you afford a solid 51/31 tandem if one of those guys is hauling in $9.5M?
People constantly wonder why goaltenders, a very, very important position, consistently get paid less than superstar forwards, in my opinion its because the Goaltending position has to be shared by a minimum of 2 players now.
A superstar forward is a superstar forward and similar importance is in net but you need 2-3 guys to solidify that part of the roster using the same slice of cash.
