The Washington Post Caps beat writer, Tarik El Bashir, spoke with Stephen Bartlett, Cristobal Huet's agent, who reported that the two sides are getting closer on a deal that would keep the 33 year old from reaching the open market on July 1st. "Stephen Bartlett, the agent for goalie Cristobal Huet, said he's 'impressed' with the way the Caps have handled discussions on an extension for his client. But he was also quick to add that there's plenty of hard work left to be done -- work that could begin this weekend at the NHL Entry Draft in Ottawa, where he expects to meet with General Manager George McPhee." The comments from Mr. Bartlett come a day after a French newspapers' interview with Huet, where Huet stated that Washington is his top priority and that he is seeking a 3 year contract. This information is consistent to what I've been hearing all summer. Both parties are an ideal fit and look for the two sides to finalize a deal this weekend in Ottawa.
