THE WASHINGTON POST: Samantha Pell reports Washington Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan yesterday said he’ll be shopping goaltender Philipp Grubauer. The 26-year-old netminder is a restricted free agent with arbitration rights who believes he’s proven himself as an NHL starter.

MacLellan said he’s love to re-sign Grubauer but understands the goalie’s need to be in a larger role. “The New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames are potential suitors for Grubauer,” said Pell.

What could the Flames offer for him? I think he'd be a great fit behind Smith and could possibly step in and be a legit #1 after he's gone allowing one of the prospects to step in and do what he's done, allowing the Flames to make a trade from a position of strength then.

With the Caps about to lose Carlson, maybe they'd want someone like Stone or maybe even Andersson.
