The zaniness continues as the 2nd goalie of the day has been locked up. Johan Hedberg has signed for $5 million per year (5 years).
After seeing Al Montoya go at $7, this seems more reasonable. However, that's a lot of doe for Hedberg.
This deal will pay Hedberg until he is 44 years old. Goalies have been known to play into their 40's - look at his counterpart in Brodeur, or the Dominator.
The Panthers are shoring themselves up and are looking like a team that will be tough to compete with this season.
