whats your take on how much any potential backup plays? holtby is going to play. its not going to be 3 games out of every 5 like in the 1a 1b days. grubauer or Copley will get a game a month and will suck for lack of playing time.
right now being holtby's backup is not a job for a young goalie. peters may not be the answer, but I would not expect either of the ahl goalies to be successful at that role.
best way of handling this is to ditch peters and rotate the two ahl goalies to sit on the caps bench while the other gets to play and stay sharp in Hershey.
Or, you find a veteran backup who can jump in and do a decent job for that rare start, and you would trust with a game or two in the playoffs if your #1 gets a little dinged up. The Caps haven't had that guy since, what, Brent Johnson?
