Vokoun still has some great ice time left in him......

Not if he leaves the 5 hole as wide open as he's showing in that pic.

Agreed.........

It will be interesting to see if Holtby can keep up his level of play or if he'll turn into the latest version of Varlamov.

Everyone makes fun of how Philly chews up goalies but the Caps aren't far behind in that department.

Perhaps there is a bigger reason they all want to start jumping ship?

But nobody's making $51 million for 9 years (with 8 more to go). Vokoun was signed with the intention of being there for one year only, a # 1 draft choice is coming for Varly and Neuvirth is under contract. Holtby is 22 years old (Bryz is 31 with millions to go on his deal). I'm happy with the situation.

I concur.

Time to change the avatar Slappy?

I think you're right. I'm deciding now and will make the change in the next few days. It's between a ferocious shot blocker or Semin's purse..............gotta think about it.

The puck is in his glove, so it's good ;)

I believe us new age sensitive guys refer to it as his satchel or man-bag.....Semin and man-bag kinda go together anyways

He'll be a good pickup for someone.

So what he meant: "This was only going to be one year because I couldn't believe that there wasn't a market for me. I was going to play myself into a huge dollar contract elsewhere after this year. It just turns out it's only one year for a different reason."

Your choice to win the U.S. Golf Open was already taken. You'll need to check back in over there and pick someone else.

Semin and Vokun hardly qualify as "they all." No one will even notice when they're gone.

Seeing as Slappy seems taken with Alex Semin I'm guessing it's Michelle Wie.

Never know. Depends on how they thrive somewhere else, and how the Caps do w/o them and what the Caps do in the off season.

I see both of them thriving ...... in the KHL.
