The Washington Capitals have signed Craig Anderson to a PTO.
The goaltending situation with the Washington Capitals is beginning to crystalize. After the sad news about Henrik Lundqvist’s heart condition, the Caps needed to address their goalie department. They made it clear with the signing of Craig Anderson to a PTO.
A PTO is a professional tryout agreement and come Jan. 3rd the top storyline entering training camp will be the competition for the backup goalie spot. Expect Anderson to go up against Vitek Vanecek for a chance to backup Ilya Samsonov with the loser likely going to the taxi squad.
