Caps Lose Goalie Huet, Sign Theodore

[FRPLG]

It really did seem to Huet was simply making a money play. Can't really blame the guy. He only played here for 25 games or so and when traded here he publically admitted he was disappointed. He didn't have a lot of time to get attached. That being said I do think it was a least a little bit crappy to give an asking price and then reject it. Just be upfront from the beginning. If you don't want to sign then say so. If you do then don't pretend you'll take less money to stay and then chickensh*t out when they actually call your bluff and offer it. Whatever...on to next season. Theodore has a higher ceiling anyways. Huet was good, and even great at times, but Theodore has won a Vezina and I don't think Huet is quite to that level.
