So who's the #1 ?

 

[JayBeagleFanAccount]

at this point im convinced this org will never make another good move as long we have this same FO, its honestly insane

 

[um]

There are other teams to root for.

Enough complaining man, it’s boring.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

His contract is pretty much league min we now have our starting goalies

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Who lol?

lol I feel like this is a bit, is this a bit?

 

[The Instigator]

This is such a good deal. Wasn't expecting a goalie but how can anyone not like this play?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

lol I feel like this is a bit, is this a bit?

If it is, it’s been going on for years!! lol….

 

[Random schmoe]

Moved from draft thread:
103 games played in the NHL and he's younger than Shepard, and has a lower cap hit.

I find it weird that you and Todd Lazarchuk are never logged in at the same time. Very curious.

Also:

 

[Misery74]

Two massively underpaid players, both UFA.

This could have massive value at deadline.

 

[tycoonheart]

I like this. Still not sold on Chucky being the #1. He wasn't all that great in the playoffs.

 

[Kalopsia]

Two 3rd round picks for a league minimum goalie who's 8th in save percentage over the last two years. Am I crazy or is this an amazing deal?

 

[max21]

IIRC he didn't have a good playoffs with Vegas but I like this move, were any of us ok with shepard being our 2? Lindgren and Thompson is solid

.921 sv% in the playoffs seems fine to me

 

[Ridley Simon]

Good deal. Really nice tandem for 2m in total or so. Nicely done, GMBM.

I wasn’t expecting the Caps to trade for a goaltender, but the value here seems absolutely incredible.

Protas there with his brother, so he gets to go say hi to Thompson, which happens in public because of the awkward timing of the signing session.

 

[Langway]

The rare two righty tandem.

Poor Vegas fans really seem to hate this deal.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

I look for us to continue to do this in the future as our goalie strategy. Identify these guy us with cheap contracts who can provide above average tending. I think they learned from the Darcy contract. I’ll be surprised if we ever draft a goalie super high again with this FO.

 

[twabby]

Fantastic trade!

 

[RedRocking]

Great move. LT is a solid goalie. Adin Hill made the run to the Cup, but LT has been their #1 at times. With injuries, and Robin Lehner doing things with snakes, the Knights never seem to have a true #1.

Really surprised Vegas made this move. Now we have two rightys!
