Thanks for the clarification. First time I posted a thread in this forum. Sorry.

Backup money for a backup goalie. Seems just right to me.

Was going to say he had done alright for himself there

 

[hamzarocks]

Thought he was getting koskinen money for a second.

There's the goalie the Caps will expose to Seattle. I also wonder if they move Vitek Vanacek at this point.

Cough cough Peter Chia.

Thought you made a typo with his name, but no, it really is spelt like that

What happen with Samsonov

What happen with Samsonov

It allows them to develop him in the AHL.

I always love to see the ex-Blues prospects getting paid ......

He was a Caps prospect before he was a Blues prospect.

Stalock deal looks great compared to this.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

[POVERTY]

0.24 Koskinens/year, not bad for a backup

 

[Dr Pepper]

Is his name actually "Pheonix"?

Like, Phoenix, but misspelled?

Is it even pronounced the same?

Well obviously they're not exposing Holtby. But as of now, Copley probably isn't on Seattle's radar.

Holtby's not even signed for that season.

What matters is that under the expansion draft rules, each team needs a goalie exposed that is signed through the 2021-2022 season. Copley now covers this requirement for Washington.

Am I the only one that initially read this as Washington Capitals sign Pheonix Coyotes?

Yes I know. Why is that news though? Obviously this was going to happen, the Caps were never going to be protecting Copley lol.

Holtby's not even signed for that season.

Who cares? He will be.

Yeah it’s one of the weirdest names in the league.. it’s pronounced Phoenix but just not spelt the same way

Not that it’s a bad name, but i wonder what the thinking was behind it when his parents made that decision

I don't know this kid's parents, but I'd hazard a guess that they just spelled "Phoenix" wrong on the birth certificate.

Like naming your kid "Micheal" instead of "Michael".

Or "Daved" instead of "David"

This is almost certainly the case.
