Exactly. This guy will be virtually useless when it really matters. You need big guys who are both mobile and physical.

Malenstyn isn't remotely on Stephenson's level. Any competent GM could easily replace him. Unfortunately, our GM looks far from competent.

Wayne - Malenstyn isn't on Stephenson's level now, but remember when we traded Stephenson, he was playing 3rd and 4th line and was not valued by the Caps - who traded him for a 5th round pick! Ouch!!
Malenstyn should have been up with the Caps at least a year earlier, but Laviolette refused to develop younger players.
There were many nights when Malenstyn was easily one of our top forwards and you could see him improve as he got more confidence. I just hate this trade.

Caps taking lessons from the US Govt on how to spend money. :-\ Guess that's what he cost, after they gave away the farm for Protus, Sandin, etc.. Hope he lives up. :cross:
*edit: Headline is a little misleading. It's actually 2.1 x 2, which is much more realistic!

NAK signed a one year deal with Buffalo for $1.5M.

As of today, the Caps only have $4.8M of cap space left from Backy’s $9.2M LTIR fund. If they bring up Shepard the Caps will only have $4M of breathing room for the season. I cant stand the way team management runs right up against the cap. It has severely hurt them in past seasons. Also as of today, the team has a full roster of 23 players. For someone to get called up a player must be put on IR or sent down.
There’s a bunch of new names this season, more than there should be in any one year IMO.

I wonder how much longer that web site will remain public now that the Caps have bought it.
