Yes, you are correct. After the free agent bidding period, there will be no minimum salary, and you can have as many of "X" length contracts you'd like.

So the only teams to have 3 goalies signed/bid on are myself (Moscow), Minas Tirith, Milwaukee and Morweena (Something about having a team that starts with "M" it seems...). Just a reminder that that 3rd goalie DOES NOT count towards your 23-man roster floor. So, if you're trying to figure out how much money you have left to spend on how many players, remember that the 3rd goalie takes up a MINOR Roster spot, and not a Majour Roster spot.

but the 3rd goalie will still count towards the overall cap ceiling, correct?

It certainly will still count, yes. Having a TERM player on your Minor Roster DOES NOT exempt him from your salary cap, as it would in the NHL. The only benefit of having a TERM player on your Minor Roster is that it essentially safe-guards that player from being signed by other managers. He will not give you any stats unless he is called up to your Major Roster (which would require another player being sent down, or a player going on IR).

Here's some clarification on how EL Players affect your cap hit as well:
Each EL Player's clock starts whether they are in the Minors or the Majors. However, an EL Player's salary will not count against your cap hit until they are called up to the Majors for the first time (injury relief does not count as a call-up). Once an EL Player is assigned to a Major Roster, his salary will continue to count against your cap hit even if he is assigned to the Minors again.
For example: If you drafted an EL Player in our 2011 draft (who meets his minimum NHL games played standards this season), and you still have him on your Minor Roster after 3 years, his salary would be $5, but wouldn't count against your cap hit. If you decide to call him up however, he will count against your cap at that $5.
Using the same player (2011 draftee), if you had assigned him to your Major roster at 2 years, he would cost you $2 against your cap hit (whether re-assigned to the Minors or not) and would go on to cost you $5 against your cap hit in the following year (again, whether he is in the Minors or not).
