Confirmed with Link: Charlie Lindgren extended to 3 year 3M per

[DWGie26]

I don’t believe this necessarily means they don’t love their pipeline. But I DO believe they feel nobody is getting held back. Clay will still develop as well, but that starts when he is getting 65%-70% of starts which he will next year. Nobody is claiming a goalie who hasn’t even proven a workload in the AHL.

I love this signing. Before Cap increase came, i was at 2.5M. New Cap and we only paid 3M which will have a lot of value in 2 years.

Apply that model to Chychrun and we have precedent and leverage. I think we can get him for 9Mx8 or 8Mx2or3.

Solid deal. It's a very tradable contract.

Also, I'd ask for a trade if I were Stevenson.

Based on what? His uneven AHL stint? He needs more time to cook and this affords that.

Nah. He's had a sophomore slump in the AHL. Next season his contract is 1 way, but still easily can be buried in the AHL. I have not liked Hershey's way of going about things trying to 3peat as Calder Cup Champs. They have given Hunter Shepard too many starts. Stevenson hasn't been allowed to have his training wheels taken off and let him get a good workload this season. Shep is awful now and should not even be the 3rd string Caps goalie. Caps/Hershey need to cut ties with Shep and let Stevenson take over. Stevenson has his work cut out for the rest of this season and offseason. If Shep is not back next season, Gibson is the next goalie to challenge up the depth charts.
