Tomas Vokoun Signs 1 Year with Capitals

2011 2012 NHL Free Agent Top Goaltender Tomas Vokoun signed 1 year with the Washington Capitals. The contract is worth $1.5 million. A very good deal for the Capitals because it was expected he would go for $5 million per year. Vokoun chose the chance at a Stanley Cup and took a pay cut. The Washington Capitals capitalized the most this free agency as they also traded struggling goalie, Semyon Varlamov to the Colorado Avalanche for a first and second round 2012 NHL Entry Draft pick.
