So you& #39;re looking for a UFA goalie to help your team next yr. You& #39;ll find only Gs in their 30s but that doesn& #39;t mean you can& #39;t find value.
Crawford recovered from 18-19 injury issues to post (yet another) excellent showing. He& #39;s been excellent for yrs.

Khudobin& #39;s 35 y.o. and his value has never been higher after DAL& #39;s run. He& #39;s on a run of three great years in a row. Not sure he& #39;ll come cheaply right now and DAL will certainly want to keep him, I& #39;d imagine.
Markstrom& #39;s only 30 y.o. and enjoyed plenty of buzz this year. The 5v5 data doesn& #39;t make a strong case for him though and VAN would be fine to run with Demko and spend their money elsewhere. He& #39;s a stay-away, I think.
He& #39;s 38 y.o. but he& #39;s the King and he somehow survived despite NYR& #39;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& #39;t help a lot but I& #39;ll bet he& #39;s cheaper than the others and maybe he& #39;s a backup you can pair with a starter who shouldn& #39;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& #39;s been mostly great in his career but has only one plus year in the past three and last year was truly awful. He& #39;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& #39;s a few other notable names.
Miller& #39;s 50 y.o. but he& #39;s been a great backup for yrs now.
Smith isn& #39;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& #39;s the forever-excellent Tuukka Rask. He& #39;s never been bad. And sometimes he& #39;s been amazing.

Kuemper has enjoyed three plus seasons. Nothing mind-blowing but positive.
Rittich& #39;s success might& #39;ve been a blip but we& #39;re not working with lots of sample here, so I& #39;ll reserve judgement.
