Caps fans, how should i feel about this Holtby deal ?
I guess that's a goodbye to Jakob.... who carried us to the playoffs this year.



Wonder if Demko will get dealt in a "get rid of Lou Erickson dead weight" deal

I'm not going to lie to you, Holtby has seemed on the decline the last couple of years. But he was good enough in 2018 to win the Cup, including back to back shutouts of Tampa in Games 6 and 7 of the ECF. I still think he has some good years left. Actually surprised his deal is that cheap. Crazy to think even 1 year ago at this point we were assuming he'd be signing somewhere for a lot more but with covid/flat cap...all these buyouts and guys having to sign cheaper short 1 or 2 year contracts everywhere is nuts.

For what it's worth, i'd take Pietrangelo over Krug any day of the week. Blues still have to clear cap, such a confusing situation.

With the flat cap and covid this is such a weird free agency, I hate it.
