At 4pm CapFriendly made the appropriate changes to the team’s salary cap. It’s a done deal. Officially, at this juncture, Lindgren is the Caps only goalie at an extremely underpaid $1.1M per.

I’ve seen quite a few people claim the Caps have $20M to burn. Except they don’t. Right now the team cap space is $3.75M. The salary cap is supposed to go up by $4.5M after this season ends but that only gives the team $8.5M. They just spent $3.25M on Dubois and have to pay Kuzy $3.9M next season. Backy still hasn’t made an official decision with his $9.2M.
Pacioretty is a UFA making $2M, plus a couple bonuses. I’m nearly certain he won’t be back. Aubé-Kubel is a UFA as well at $1.25M. I could see keeping him or letting him walk. Malenstyn and McMichael are RFAs at just under $1M each and very likely will be resigned. Who knows what that will cost. The Caps will also now need a second goalie, which appears to be Shepard at just under $1M for one more year.
The Caps don’t have $20M to burn. They don’t even have $9M to burn assuming Backy does officially retire.

Sheesh.. I saw the contract amount/term and just assumed Dubois would be a great addition, since we're deprived of a 1c.. Reading up it appears he's a head case like Kuzy. :-( Hope for the best I guess. Get rid of one bad contract, take on an even worse one.
