Good on the caps, getting one of the best (if not best) tandems locked in

 

[WarriorofTime]

Platoon? Sign then flip?

Caps locking down there goalies

 

[SI90]

Can never have too much goaltending.

The money they save on Thompson theoretically gives them flexibility to sign a better back up/1b type of guy.

 

[Forsbergaura21]

I mean he’s decent but that’s a lot of money for a backup…

 

[Nogatco Rd]

might have cost himself on that AAV tonight

lot of money for a backup

 

[Silky mitts]

12th in Hart voting last year, 8th in Vezina
They’ve got a ton of cap room next year hard to let him walk away if the money isn’t crazy

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

That's putrid sorry

He isn't a backup.

It's a tandem league now. A solid and consistent 30+ game veteran goalie is very valuable.

I mean if i'm the Caps I would trade him for some forward help but I guess Goalies don't do well in trades so you might as well keep that elite tandem together.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Maybe they saw what happened to Swayman and Ullmark once separated and are learning from Boston’s mistake

 

[stl76]

Wow, good for Lindgren!

 

[Torontonian]

Tandem league, but I'm not sure paying 10m total for both goalies is worth it. Probably only a few mill more then what you'd want to pay em.

They can easily trade one of them when they need cap space and get assets in return.

 

[eojsmada]

10m for two goalies, is going to be average, when the cap is sitting at 100M in the next 2-3 years.
