Just realized he was unsigned. I know he's never been what you'd call a big game goalie, and was always a bit overrated and overpaid in the past, but his career numbers are solid (310 wins, 2.71 GAA, .912 sv%), and his numbers last season were better than Johnson, Ward, Mason, Mrazek, Halak, Lehner, and Bernier, who all found jobs, and he wasn't able to. Why not? He'd still be a serviceable backup for cheap. Was it his rep for not being solid when needed in high pressure situations like the 2016 Game 7 St. Louis blowout? Was he asking too much for what he currently offers? Or did he just say "Screw it, I'm in my mid 30's. I'm rich, i'm staying home instead of riding the pine for s***ty money."?

He's 34 now and has been regressing pretty noticeably since he turned 30.

He also has the reputation for crapping the bed in like every big game. Guy can't handle high pressure situations at all.

Well, this team doesn't have any pressure games anymore, so that shouldn't matter, right?
