Moving to gold tenders, and this is where we'll start with the first one here, Logan Thompson
0:06
going to the Washington Capitals from the Vegas Golden Knights, and for a third round pick
0:11
two-thirds, actually, one in 2024 and one in 2025, what do you think? I mean
0:17
we'll talk about later, they acquired another goalie later on to replace him
0:21
but now the Capitals have a tandem of two pretty cheap gold tenders, and I mean, arguably probably
0:28
a 1A, 1B, what do you think about Thompson going to DC? Yeah, so definitely I don't think he was
0:38
on anybody's radar of being moved, but that's how Vegas does, right? They'll move anybody at any time
0:46
if the offer is right, and I guess the offer was right for them for the two third round picks
0:54
so he didn't even really have much of a regression this year, he took a minor step back, went from a
1:01
9.15 last season to a 9.08 save percentage this season, in the playoffs though, he was still great
1:08
had a 9.21 save percentage, was playing more games, looked really solid, I think he struggled
1:14
with some injuries early on if I'm not mistaken, I might be getting that confused with last season
1:20
he was up for a lot of time last season it was, yeah, yeah, okay, too many goalies that just kind
1:27
of rotate, I think that's a great acquisition for the Washington Capitals, and comparatively
1:34
they didn't have to pay very much to get him, it's somebody who could be a starting goalie
1:39
for, you know, pretty much anybody in the league right now, he has really good upside
1:46
and yeah, that's, you know, Vegas, you never can predict what Vegas is doing
1:53
and the Capitals took advantage of that
