Theodore the Goalie

Uh, I'm not sure how this came around. I'll admit, I'm not a big Capitals guy, but I'm at least aware of the names in play. This one seems to have surprised many as Jose Theodore signed with Washington today.

Apparently the Caps and Cristobal Huet were close, but not quite there. George McPhee decided he couldn't wait and got Theodore.

I'd put in comments, but I don't have a great opinion. From what I know, he's been a great goalie, but seems to be past his peak. The Caps signed him for 2 years. Looking at that, he's probably a stop gap unless he plays spectacularly in the next couple of seasons.

"Stopgap" is exactly what we need, with Varlamov and Neuvirth on the way up.

Huet and Jose were generally considered to be the top best UFA goalies this year; kudos to GMGM for snapping up one when the other balked. -JW
