That's a lot of money but they do have the goalie whisperer on ZOOM.

Wow. Pretty great value for Holtby, and short term as well.

That is not a bad contract at all.

Now we definitely need to sign Markstrom

Was just about to say this in the rumours thread and then the deal was signed.

Holtby is coming in for the perfect amount of term and for a 750 - 1.5 mill less a year. It's the right call team wise even if it sucks a little cause Marky was a great goalie and great person.

2 years and $4.3M.

That’s an incredibly shrewd signing.

Yeah, 4.3 for Holtby isn't bad. Markstrom should logically come in around 4.5 by comparison.
