Goalie 4 Sale, hardly used.

when, i'm wrong; i am the first to admit it except when someone beats me to the punch. And i was wrong about sending Theodore back to the crease for the Caps. All hail our new conquering hero; Simeon Varlamov, who stole the show tonight for the Caps, pasting the Rangers 4-0. With his aggressive play in front of the crease, Varly spoke clear volume about who should tend the cage for the rest of the series, and hopefully beyond. Now, however; what do we do with our overpriced backup? And i'm not talking about Brent Johnson either. A 4.5 million dollar albatross against the cap for next year. too bad the Caps can't sell Jose's contract to the Helsinki Formulas of the Finnish Elite League. Looks like they'll have 2 untradeable contracts next year if you include Nylander. With the cap seemingly to be lower next year, GMGM will have his work cut out, especially if he is going to give both Semin and Backstrom long term deals.I see the Preds gave David Poile a years extension; perhaps GMGM could fleece him for a few draft picks in exchange for our dead weights ala the Brendan Witt deal of 2006.. Should make for an interesting summer. Until then Varly is the Man!
