We used different formulas and ended up with the same answer.
Since Elvis is about league-average, I'd argue he's not a cap dump, just an inefficient use of cap. He's one of 11 other goalies making between 5 and 6 million this year and only the 11th-highest cap hit for goalies in the league. Hell, he's not even $2M more expensive than the 32nd-highest paid goalie in the league. I'd put his value at mid-to-late round pick, and think it's probably short of a 1st to dump Campbell for similar reasons.
Just an explanation of how I'm looking at it, it's pretty subjective.
Fair enough. From looking at historical comps (especially more recent ones), recent UFA contracts (Jarry, Helle, Sorokin, etc), goalie draft positions, etc
I think goaltender values are lower than they’ve ever been.
Goalies are getting traded for less than ever, getting contracts smaller than they were 5 years ago, and getting drafted later and later every year.
Jarry and Elvis for example have identical contracts basically. Jarry was just signed as a UFA, so I’m saying he’s approximately market value. And since Elvis has MUCH worse results than Jarry did when he signed that deal, he’s gonna cost to dump at least imo
