This comparison was about who would you like as the backup to #1; also Johnson might actually be worth a shot at number 1 if you had someone to fall back on as well. I don't Cassivi - Johnson is the answer next year if Olie retires though...

I also think Kolzig's going to have to raise his play more than a little is the Capitals want to have postseason success - he's last in the NHL in save percentage.<BR/><BR/>Of those three though, I'd definetly not want Conklin. I'd be pretty happy if the Caps took a chance on Emery because I think Boudreau could straighten him out but that's not really a midseason kind of thing. So, I agree that of those three the Capitals are best off with Johnson.DMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737116968841961638noreply@blogger.com
