Confirmed Signing with Link: [WSH] Henrik Lundqvist signs with the Capitals (1 year, $1.5M)

[Willy Stylez]

Going to feel weird seeing him in a capitals jersey but wish him the best and rooting for him.

Cool

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I hope he can win a cup before he calls it a career. Shame he couldn't do it in New York.

 

[Mickey Marner]

NMC, I assume?

 

[NeverBeNormal]

Is it really an average annual value if it's only one year?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Capitals are my 2nd favorite team so I don’t hate this
Please win a cup

 

[Leonardo87]

So sad, good luck Hank. Will miss you in NY, but good luck in Washington..... um just not against the Rangers. lol.

ehhhh I'd be iffy on this, I'd like to see him go after a cup on a true contender. If that meant joining a rival (except the Isles and Devils), so be it. But I'm not sure if the caps really fit the bill of contender so it would suck to see him suit up for Washington

But he'll likely be coming in cheap for whatever team he signs for so the Capitals keeping Holtby or getting Lundqvist isn't mutually exclusive

There is like what, 3-4 teams that might be more legit contenders in the league than the caps?
They still have the material, they didnt have the coach in the past couple years, hopefully they do now.

Good luck in Washington to King Henrik.

As a New York Ranger fan, Henrik Lundqvist has been (and will continue to be) my favorite NHL player. This still hurts, but I understand. I sincerely will be rooting for the Washington Capitals (just because I don’t feel NYR are SC contenders yet) to chase another cup, and have The Great Alex Ovechkin give The King, Henrik Lundqvist a cup.

Feels bad, man, feels bad.

 

[a tribe cq]

Goodbye, my friend.

 

[Claxton]

Will be weird seeing him in a Capitals jersey after all those playoff wars between them and the Rangers. Best of luck to him.

 

[belair]

This is going to be the best signing today by far. His stats were still excellent last season.

[Beville]

Can’t complain with the cost, and worse case I’m sure loads of teams would take him at the TDL.

This.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I'll just block this out and pretend he signed for Colorado or something...

 

[Ail]

Hope Zibby/Panarin/Laffy put up a 10 spot on him.

Good luck to Hank and Caps.

 

[robertmac43]

Great little deal, he still has something in the tank! I hope he finds some success in Washington!

 

[Telos]

I hope he wins and eliminates the Rangers along the way!

This feels icky.
