Okay, I have a question.
As an example:
Goaltenders: Michal Neuvirth, Simeon Varlamov
This means Neuvirth is clear to play in the AHL playoffs, as is Varlamov. However, Neuvirth is backing up Theodore with the Capitals. Does that mean that Neuvirth counts as a recall so Machesney can fill in for him with the Bears even though he’s not on the clear list? Or am I misunderstanding something?
Last year in the “big push” to enter the playoffs- Quintin Laing, was an amazing shot-blocking machine, why hasn’t he worn a Caps jersey this year? I thought he showed a ton of heart.
