There are more than a few things the front office does that make zero sense in any universe.
But, in the same vein I have two Jack Daniel’s bottles that I’ve saved. One label says 150th birthday. The other bottle, which is maybe two years different, says 150th anniversary.

I figured Pacs was gone, kinda surprised NAK was not retained.
Caps management seems to think they need a 28yo left winger for one year at $5.8M. Is someone retiring that we don’t know about?

The ‘24-‘25 salary cap will be $88M. The Caps are currently at $90M according to capfriendly. Ethan Bear was reinstated from player assistance a couple weeks ago at $2M per.
Beaglefan2:
So we give away a 2nd round pick for a guy with one year left on his contract? We have that deep of a pool of prospects that we can just trade away 2nd round picks for short term rentals? I saw a comment that maybe they thought they could trade this guy at the deadline - so they can get a 3rd round pick? Now we have an average winger that will take up a slot that we could have had a young guy in to actually develop prospects. GMBM has followed up the terrible PLD deal with another clunker.
Mickstix:
I think GMBM just looks at the salary and thinks he's getting star players? :-\ Whatever.. Ovi better not shit the bed. It's gonna be a long few years ahead. Feels like GMBM's past his expiration date.
