Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 As per TSN: The Washington Capitals have signed goaltender Jose Theodore to a two-year contract. Theodore, 31, became an unrestricted free agent on July 1 after playing out a three-year, $16 million contract. The former Montreal Canadien came off a solid 2007-08 campaign, posting a 28-21-3 record and a 2.44 goals against average. The Avalanche acquired Theodore in 2006, hoping to re-vitalize his career after a few struggling campaigns in Montreal. In 2001-2002, he won the Vezina and Hart Trophies as the league MVP with a 2.11 goals against average and .931 save percentage. He followed that up with a disastrous 2002-2003 season, during which his goals against shot up to 2.90 and his save percentage dropped to .908 as the Habs missed the postseason.

LIDDYGIBBY5 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Makes me wonder what Huet was asking for if Theodore @ $4.% MM/year is a better option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Dang - I like the Capitals - why would they go and do something like that??? Now the Wings won't get to light up Theo 4x - preferably 8x - per year! Guess we'll have to shell Raycroft instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingsrock34 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 DUMB DUMB AND DUMB I had more faith in the caps then to lower themselfs to f'n Jose Theodore, why didnt they just sign Cloutier if they wanted a s***ty goalie he would have been cheaper too. I guess the caps missed the second round when the wings made him look like an ECHL reject should have paid Huet what he wanted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirac 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Wow. I was wondering who was going to take this gamble. His play has been inconsistent at best and down right bad since he left Montreal. Funny how GMs think that 'maybe he will play better for us' when he has shown no signs of returning to his prior form. I think I would have stuck with Huet. Actually, if they had not embarassed Kolzig so much, they would have been better off keeping him than just renting Huet which cost them Kolzig. This is the same situation as Bertuzzi and Raycroft. Raycroft still gets signed based on a Calder he won many years ago now. He has never lived back up to that first season and Bertuzzi...as the Ducks and Wings know, he is not nearly the same player he was before the Moore incident. I don't think ever will be but I am sure there is some GM out there who believes he will change in their environment. Conklin is more consistent than Jose so I am glad the Wings went with him...oh yeah, and the fact that he will be making only $750K does not hurt either.
