What does Dan Vladar bring to the table that the Isles couldn't just find for $2.2M in free agency?
Not saying he's terrible or anything, but any goalie they add will be backing up Sorokin. UFAs this summer that would presumably be available in the $2-2.5M AAV range and would be fine being a 1B/backup would be James Reimer, Cam Talbot, Antti Raanta, Kevin Lankinen, & David Rittich, to name a few. Heck, there's a decent shot that Semyon Varlamov decides to stick around at a $2-3M AAV to continue being a solid backup going forward. Point is, I don't see the reason for any team to spend a draft pick or prospect on a backup goalie during the summer.
