I really like this signing. Hard to fault it at all, he's an RFA at the end so if he really takes off you aren't losing him for nothing very likely.
Overall, I really like the IDEA of betting on two higher risk, high ceiling options given the costs and lack of consistency available in this goalie market. All of the options feel like you are just hoping they are a legit starter, none have a track record of being one for any long stretch. It's like the Leafs went "I'd rather two 30% chances instead of one 50/50 shot". My only gripe is that Dubas got crushed in his trade negotiations with Ottawa, as I really feel Toronto at least should have gotten a 2nd and 3rd from Ottawa, or had them pay a 3rd team for more retention, but overall, given the market, I'd rather two high upside gambles with low commitment.
