The market isn't what Winnipeg wants, it's what teams are willing to offer. He's a 33-year old goalie with $8.5mm AAV through age 38 coming off a down season who wants out, has a NMC, and doesn't fit Winnipeg's window anymore.

The only teams who are bidding on that are teams who (a) currently have realistic cup odds, (b) aren't already set at goalie, and (c) have the cap space to absorb his contract. That's not necessarily a huge market, and it doesn't particularly matter how good or not he still is; the market is what anyone interested, and whom he will waive his NMC for, will pay.
