If Bernier can play like he did last year, that's actually a fairly solid tandem imo. I think both are better suited to being the 2nd man in a tandem, but they both had pretty strong seasons.

UFA tandem goalie market is now dry. Dell is youngest and closest thing to 1B that's left.

Good signing Stevie! Bernier/Greiss will make a nice tandem this season. Plus the face that Greiss is German doesn’t hurt any. He’ll be a nice mentor for Seider

A little high on the AAV but at 2 years, won’t hurt us. Good signing

And the Oilers are left without a Seattle Kraken at the table. Who’s the best goalie left? Aaron Dell? Mike Smith? Not great for them.

Fluery needs a home. If VGK can eat like 2 mill of that, its only 5 mill over 2. Fluery may have some left

Too high of an AAV but Detroit can afford it and at least it will solidify their goaltending tandem

I think the Wings were in on Markström as plan A but Calgary ultimately offered an extra year term and perhaps a better opportunity to win. It also seems Stevie had to go a little higher on the AAV than expected to sign Greiss in effort to outbid any other teams who might’ve been involved and he wasn’t willing to lose out on him since the options have gotten much slimmer. I’m fine with the signing.

There's still trade options left in ARI, VGK and CAR.

Raanta would be good. Fleury’s too expensive, and I’m not sure Reimer/Mrazek are upgrades. Korpisalo would be good as well, but I’m not sure that the Oilers have what the Blue Jackets would be looking for.

Yzerman realizing you actually have a better chance to win the lottery if you're not the worst team in the league

Dell is far too inconsistent to be a true 1B. He was good for a stretch last season but for 2 years before that he was just awful. With a very strong defense in front of him he might stand a chance but i would expect him to sign a two-way deal.

I think he will end up in VGK if/when they move MAF.

Little more expensive than I would like but term is great. And it's not like the wings are in cap trouble. Should be a decent tandem

The 2 years probably drove the price up really. With no goalies on the way having someone under contract for next season is a must

Very Smart veteran signing by the Red Wings of a guy who does nothing but play good solid hockey goaltending. Greiss is a good guy and he's won hat you want to see have success and while he might not win the league in wins this season you can be assured that he will help the goalies around him in the Wings organization. The Red Wings get a good guy at a good value.
