Capitals acquire a first round pick in 2012 and a second round pick in 2012 or 2013 from the Avalanche for Semyon Varlamov.

So in other words, the Caps get a very high first round pick next year for a player that could be in the KHL next year.

Yeah, big risk for a goalie that could fail the Avs miserably. They were sort of up against it, though.

and the Caps are in on Vokoun! WOW

Absolutely terrible. Jut pay Vokoun and keep your lottery pick for next season.

the guys on TSN were saying

Habs got Eller, and someone else i forgot, for a playoff hero in Halak

Caps get a 1st, and 2nd or 3rd, for someone who hasn't proven himself.
