Name me a team in the last 10 years that won a cup without a franchise goalie ?
Depend how you define a franchise goalie, Neimi won, Crawford won the cup few times and as far as i know, no one consider him at the same level as Price, Ludq, Quick, etc. Ducks won with Giguere and Bryzgalov, Boston won with Thomas, Pens won with Murray. None have the same status as the goalies i have mentioned(or at least not yet), bottom line is these days there are many decent goalies, and on top of that, any goalie can get hot and take you far, but to exactly answer your question, spending 11 millions on goalies is just stupid, it doesn't guaranty you anything, you can be wise, spend 4-5 millions on some very good goalies and spend the rest of money somewhere else(C or top defenders).
I have no issue with Price at around 6 millions for the next 6 years maximum, but 11 millions on 8 years it is just way overpaid and too long! WAY TOO LONG!!
