I like Grubauer myself. Offer the caps Rittich plus a mid round pick or something.
Rittich has looked really good in the AHL and does not need to be protected in the expansion draft. Caps can sign a journeyman back up this off season and let him compete with Rittich for the back up role behind Holtby plus they get a pick and don't have to risk losing Grubauer for nothing to Vegas. Of course, there is a good chance it's Orlov they lose to expansion anyways, so maybe they aren't that worried about Grubauer.
Good ole BT though, you know he's probably already kicked tires on him already.
