It isn't a job anyone is interested in doing and for most teams it's either a holster for a goalie prospect or an inactive 500k who-cares-about-the-tpe goalie. If players are forced into a backup role it should be worthwhile for the team (you make a great point about 100% of the cap for 82% games), but it shouldn't be a requirement. Also one of the only reasons to use a backup is to rest your starter, at that point it's just a 500k fee for every goalie (or a flat reduction in cap) which makes it logically redundant.

It was supposed to be for active back ups but we never really ever got those.
