henrik lundqvist

What we knew already was just made official. The Washington Capitals have signed legendary goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist was bought out by the Rangers, a mutual decision on both sides, to make room for the Igor Shesterkin/Alex Georgiev competition and next generation of Rangers goaltending.

Lundqvist will join Alex Ovechkin, whom he has always shared a friendly and respectful rivalry. Lundqvist replaces the departed Braden Holtby in net. The deal is one year and $1.5 million.

The Caps are a playoff contender, but have a few other needs before we can consider them true Stanley Cup competitors.
