If you have to keep one of the goalies, VV is cheaper and Sammy - despite years of having the most "upside" - isn't worth the $$ we'd need to spend on him given our cap situation.

Finding one shouldn't be too hard, it's affording a true #1 we will struggle with.
Hey....I bet Mike Smith from Calgary will be available next year. He'd fit right in with our team....you know....since he's OLD. 40 years old. :raspberry:
Nope...he's signed through next year with CGY. Their #1 Mikko Koskinnen is a UFA though. Made $4.5m this season.
On a side note....I was looking at Edmonton's roster and their top 6 forwards are signed, and 4/6 of their D, but man, they have 6 UFA forwards and 3 RFA forwards for next year. That's 9 of their 18 forwards, plus 2 of their 6 D that need contracts this summer. Their GM got some work to do this summer.

Ain’t nothing gonna happen until after someone wins the Cup, so… be patient. Caps fans should be used to that.

Goalies?? We don't need no stinkin' goalies!!
Nothing says more about the current state of the NHL than an 8-6 game in the Stanley Cup semis. It's like the old NHL all-star games.

I voted for VV and Other
With a better goalie coach and a more seasoned goalie to mentor VV he could become a viable goalie.

welp, Vtec is gone. That means the Caps are going to trade for someone because they ain’t got this covered from within, yet
