2.1 for McMike is pretty decent figure I think. Plus 2 years give them time to cut and run or sell the farm to keep him in 2 years.
Hate trading Malenstyn for peanuts...and seeing how they didn't want NAK....I figured Malenstyn was a lock. And wasnt Malenstyn like one of our top hitters despite his lack of ice time? I don't hate NOT getting NAK back, but Malenstyn seemed to me like a solid 4th liner for reasonable cap. I guess IF we werent going to sign him, well we got a draft pick..
i see we grabbed a couple reasonably priced wingers from the recycle bin.

Hey what? we traded Jensen for a 26 year old? 6'-2, 205lbs. THats seems like an uptrade to me. Not knocking Jensen, but his age was gonna be an issue

I dont recall seeing this guy much and he played in Ottawa so its not surprising, but his stats look pretty good. Former 1st rounder, and 26 years old
richkrt99:
And yet another? This guy has both size and apparently skill, but damn...that price tag

HTF can the Caps afford this contract? Did I miss somebody leaving? Nope...they $4m over the cap even with the Backy relief fund
They have to move another d-man off the roster

Damn...Stephenson signed 7 years with Seattle at $6.25m per. Yikes! I liked him bud damn is he worth that kind of money? Two-time cup winner though.

So we trade Jensen who had 2 years left, plus a third round pick for Chycrun who only has one year left. I don't mind the trade, but hate throwing away draft picks for short term rentals. I guess if we are sellers at the trade deadline, we ought to be able to get at least a third for Chyckrun.
The Roy signing baffles me. You would think that management would be learning the lesson of what happens to 34+ year old players, so this one is going to be a salary cap anchor in the years that we are hopefully rebounding into a contender.
GMBM is showing desperation to stay relevent....
