So you're looking for a UFA goalie to help your team next yr. You'll find only Gs in their 30s but that doesn't mean you can't find value.
Crawford recovered from 18-19 injury issues to post (yet another) excellent showing. He's been excellent for yrs.

Khudobin's 35 y.o. and his value has never been higher after DAL's run. He's on a run of three great years in a row. Not sure he'll come cheaply right now and DAL will certainly want to keep him, I'd imagine.
Markstrom's only 30 y.o. and enjoyed plenty of buzz this year. The 5v5 data doesn't make a strong case for him though and VAN would be fine to run with Demko and spend their money elsewhere. He's a stay-away, I think.
He's 38 y.o. but he's the King and he somehow survived despite NYR's historic lack of defense through much of last season. I just hope a contender brings him in to play backup mins+. Get him to TBL for cheap or something, please.
Aaron Dell is a UFA
Talbot is 32 y.o. and probably doesn't help a lot but I'll bet he's cheaper than the others and maybe he's a backup you can pair with a starter who shouldn't play 65% of starts. If you use all-sits from last yr, he was actually a very slight plus.
Holtby is the most intriguing UFA, I think. He's been mostly great in his career but has only one plus year in the past three and last year was truly awful. He's also likely to be the priciest. He and Markstrom are the youngest of the top-tier names in the UFA class at 30 y.o.
Here's a few other notable names.
Miller's 50 y.o. but he's been a great backup for yrs now.
Smith isn't what he was. Just move along.
Anderson bounced-back last yr but not lots to love there.
Greiss as your backup would work just fine, most likely.

By request, here's the forever-excellent Tuukka Rask. He's never been bad. And sometimes he's been amazing.

Kuemper has enjoyed three plus seasons. Nothing mind-blowing but positive.
Rittich's success might've been a blip but we're not working with lots of sample here, so I'll reserve judgement.

Grubauer still hasn't played a ton of minutes but he's been consistently good whenever he's had health and opportunity. The way goalies go, I think he could still be a very good one.
