Good job Chuckie.

 

[sepHF]

thought it said 3.3 AAV almost had a heart attack

 

[BlueDream]

The f***? I would have taken him back for 1-2 years at around $850K but not sure what he did to deserve that.

 

[stl76]

Good for Lindgren! Glad to see him get some term and certainty.

 

[BritSabre]

1 way on capfriendly too

 

[Lays]

wish NYR picked him up. Ryan’s older brother

Hopefully a certain fan of Lindgren’s will follow him to the Capital’s fandom.

 

[Reality Czech]

3 years? Dang.

Never thought of DC as a sideburns kinda town but guess I was wrong.

 

[Stealth JD]

YES, YES, YES

Nice signing Washington.
Now maybe the Blues whackos can stop pining for the guy.

He may have been able to command that if his last name was Lundgren imo.

Can that all be buried? I think so. Either way, it's a savvy move. Has held his own in NHL action and it never hurts to have a guy who can come up and win a game for you.

The amount that can be buried this upcoming season is 1.125 million so yes.

Lindgren got a nice raise at 1.1mil x 3 seasons after having a good showing in limited games with the Blues and helped take the Springfield Thunderbirds to the Calder Cup finals with tandem goaltender Joel Hofer ultimately losing the Cup to the Chicago Wolves.

It’s taken awhile for Lindgren to develop but goalies usually take longer.

 

[GoldenSeal]

YES, YES, YES

Nice signing Washington.

You mean like how some were ‘pining’ for Husso?

I hope Chucky leads your boys to the promised land, Caps fans!

Lindgren is not a starting goalie. 5 hot games don't change that. Kuemper will be their starter.

Curtis McElhinney is a good comparable career wise if it goes well.

He will have to fight off Fucale who had a similar NHL stretch last year with the Caps.

These are nice problems to have, wouldn’t you agree?

Goalies fighting for the backup position? I guess. Doesn't change much though.

Could be in the Leafs position. Just saying that Chucky is a good pickup and I hope he does great for y’all. That’s all. Really like the guy.

This is a 'bury him in the AHL if it doesn't work out/he makes too much to get claimed off waivers' kind of deal, if you ask me...

His agent did great here.
