On it for October season start. 
Got sick and almost died so catching up. LOL
I have been doing some thinking on this. do you think going up on goalie extensions even further is the best idea.. A top goalie would be eating up almost an 1/4 of a persons total cap space.. I think what you will see happen is Goalies will still continue to get their extensions no matter what and you are going to see an absolute crap ton of players/skaters going to FA.
Upping their extension cost is basically just trying reduce their value. This can be done by slightly decreasing their stats collection over a period of time. We currently award 0.25 pts for every save. What if you just reduced it by 0.01pts , for the next 5 seasons? you end up at 0.20 pts per save.
The average goalie in the league makes 1500 saves. 1500x .25 = 375ftps. 1500x.24= 360ftps. 1500x.20 = 300 ftps.
so next season the average goalie loses about 15ftps on the entire season but that would affect all teams equally.
The problem I have with doing large increases to the extensions is it will create large disparities between teams that have to extend goalies at the new rates and ones who have goalies at the old extension costs. It may take teams 5 years to get back to parity on goalie costs.
The other issue I see with raising costs is again creating huge price gaps between minor league developed goalies to when they have to be extended.
I dont want to throw a wrench in the plans, but just throwing this out for thought before we go escalating goalie prices that could in turn cause other issues down the road.
I really think we are at a good spot happy medium between extension costs and available cap to teams. bringing the goalie costs higher could tip that scale. We havent even seen the full effect of the last goalie extension costs on all teams.
By a very slow reduction in stats it will affect all teams equally but not adversely over a 5year period of time vs. extension cost increase that will affect all teams but at very different times over a 5 year period.
