The Washington Capitals shocked many fans by keeping Charlie Lindgren despite offseason trade speculation. According to recent reports, the organization believes Lindgren is a critical part of Logan Thompson's success—but is that enough to justify paying $3 million for a backup goalie coming off a down season?
On today's Locked On Capitals, Dan Holmi breaks down why Washington chose continuity over cap space, whether Lindgren's contract is becoming a concern, and what this decision means for Logan Thompson, Clay Stevenson, and the Capitals' Stanley Cup aspirations heading into the 2026-27 NHL season.
