Brady: The. reason Halak was put on waivers and unclaimed was because of 4.5m contract....not because of his play. Yes, can debate the value of Grub in a trade deal but I doubt if the Isle want to. be paying over 9m in goalies this year. If I'm a championship calibre team (like the Caps) I won't want to go to a season and hopefully a long playoff run with Copley has my unproven backup.
Just a side note, I think the Caps should have called Kutz's bluff about going to Russian. If he had left, still would have Johansen and 3.3m in cap space.
