Thread: Capitals without Holtby
Guys, Thanks for feedback. When I look at Caps, all I see is 6.1 million for Holtby and he will want a raise soon. Grubi is still RFA and is close to Hotby despite what everyone saw in playoffs. I think Samsonov is Caps future, so time to move Holtby is now. Did not want him traded to Eastern conference so I choose Colorado based on Varlamov injury history (and last year of deal) and I think Colorado can afford 2 high paid goalies.

In response to cap being higher and able to keep Carlson, I might be in favor of that, I thought his numbers would go down without Alzner, but pleasantly surprised. Still think Power Play helps his numbers and it should help whoever the Washington Coach slots there. Think extra money will be needed next year 2019-2020 deals so not sure I would want to tie up 7.5 million.

Am I wrong in thinking the Caps need to free up cap space not necessarily for this upcoming season but for the following years?
Thanks Again
