Buttman said it was going to be the exact same as the Vegas draft..

I'm a little surprised Jensen is playing over Ziggy.  Ziggy was actually pretty good last year.
And Ziggy played a lot of PK and important minutes.


I realize they have Chara for PK and general shut down guy, and Shultz (is he a PK guy?) so maybe Ziggy's PK time would be less important, but still....I like Ziggy over Jensen in a full time role.


I'm not as down on Jensen as many, but I'd rather see Ziggy play then Jensen.


Is it a matter of Right vs Left thing?

Sooooo.......
With the Caps total $3456 left in cap space....


IF they were decide to carry Copely on the taxi squad - they could not move him to the active roster and into a game due to cap space.  He makes $1.1mil to Vitek's $717k.  THe salary difference for ONE game between the two players is $6845 which is about twice the cap space available.


So....the caps would have to move two players to the taxi squad from the roster in order to bring Copely in, so that kind of limits his possibilities unless something else changes.


Caps HAVE to carry a 3rd goalie on the taxi, but they could not afford to play him...unless it were Fucale.


I never heard anything official, but I'm assuming they just sent Anderson packing?


I have to think the caps have to be preparing to move someone.  With Sprong and Sheary, I am surprised they have not moved Panik.  His 2.75 mil is almost double the total of the other two combined.  Caps have more than enough D as well.  I mean I guess as long as they are under the cap all is well, but they sure don't have room to do ANYTHING should that need arise.


GO CAPS
