I hope. Do you think it is a safe enough calculated risk to roll with Holtby?

Thanks!
Many of you know I'm a huge Neuvirth fan, but after seeing everything I've seen since the playoffs .... Holtby is the goalie to own. Everything Dobber says, and knowing Holtby is playing in a talented AHL right now, it's significant in terms of the optics of his value within the Caps organization. I would say it's definitely safe to roll with Holtby. Neuvirth hasn't been very good in Czech Republic ... "leaky" is the term I'm hearing from scouts overseas.
