If the Washington Capitals are looking for an insurance policy for Braden Holtby, is free-agent netminder Kari Lehtonen the answer? The website Pro Hockey Rumors speculates on where the veteran might land and thinks the Caps are a good fit.
As you know, the Caps have Pheonix Copley penciled in for Holtby’s backup. Although Copley has done well in the AHL both at Hershey and Chicago, he has a whopping two games under his belt in the NHL. Yes, he will earn a long look this September, but trusting your championship hopes on him is a tough swallow.
