Yesterday the Capitals announced a shiny new six-year deal for goalie Logan Thompson; today, the Rink crew chats about the contract, its implications for the other half of the goaltending tandem, and what’s next for GM Chris Patrick.
Q1. Hit us with your Initial thoughts on, and a grade for, the Logan Thompson extension.
J.P.:I have mixed feelings that lean positive. He’s not as good as he has been over the last month (no one is that good), so the timing makes it feel like the Caps are buying high, but their pro scouting has earned the benefit of the doubt from me.
