Thompson was under a mil. Wonder if Vegas is in on Askarov?

Great value addition by the capitals.

Lindgren and Thompson are a decent tandem

3-headed goalie monster? No thanks. I would have preferred Thompson over Vladar though.

Obviously Markstrom is better, but this makes the Markstrom trade look even better imo. Thompson is quite a bit younger too

It's surprising to me at least because Thompson is under a mil for another year, is a decent goalie, and VGK is always looking for cheap lineup guys.

trading a player in the middle of an autograph session is the most Vegas thing ever.
