Of course, as Semin's agent, Gandler has motivation to downplay the injury... but at least he's a source fairly close to the player. Now we just need an objective doctor's opinion to make this all go away (hopefully). I saw that (good snag by Tarik), and am hopeful it’s true.

Sign AO?

I can't see the Caps completing the deal via fax with an email/web site announcement. I would image that they would want to hold a press conference for such an important signing.

The Caps get to evaluate him for two more years before deciding whether to ante up a big money long-term deal; Jurcina gets a reasonable deal but in two years, if all goes well, he gets his big payday.

Good news. per Tarik’s blog update…850,000 Y1; 912,500 Y2.
