Shepard backstops Hershey to a 2-1 win. 31 saves on the night. Give the kid the majority of the remaining games. He’s earning a contract. Love ya Copley, but your future isn’t in the Capitals organization anymore.
yeah it’s definitely time to move on from Copley. Not just from a goaltending depth standpoint but the Caps can’t really afford to be holding that $25k against the cap that can’t be buried when he’s in the AHL. It’s not much but just something that the team can’t afford in the flat cap. Shepard should be signed to a NHL deal ASAP. Having him and a resurgent Fucale as the tandem in Hershey next year is very exciting to me.
