Caps still need to cut 8 more guys before October 7.

Current Roster carries 19 forward, 9 D and 2 goalies. Backy and Oshie will be LTIR, so that's really 17 forwards currently
Technically they can carry 25 on roster, but only if they can afford the cap hit. Last year the Caps had 24 man roster; 14 forwards, 8 D, 2GT
I expect with Oshie out, the Caps might afford a 25 man roster, but do they want to? So hard to figure, now that CapFriendly is gone.
Vrana hanging in for now, but at best there are 3 spots on roster for 5 guys, and probably only 2 spots (24 man roster) (Sgarbossa, Vranna, Miro, Cristall, Parascak)
So i looked up the waivers guidelines and all except Vranna are exempt from Waivers claims. I would assume just based on age and experience Cristall and Parascak will be cut. The fact that Miro is also waivers exempt seems to work in Vranna's favor....IF he is being seriously considered. (They'd lose nothing by moving Miro to Hershey)
9D...I'd assume McIlrath is the odd man out there, but who knows....Bear hasn't looked all the great to me
So....I'm not sure about Sgarbossa or McIlrath when it comes to waivers.....it says players who "previously cleared waivers and have not played in 10 or more cumulative NHL Games since (clearing waivers) OR been on the NHL roster for 30 cumulative days" are exempt".... So I'd assume both these guys are exempt? Or does that clock start over every year?
I guess we see tonight who does what.

So, the number of possessions in a row, scoring points, ended at 17 for the Redskins.. JD5 threw his 1st NFL interception. They had to punt (once) for the 1st time in 3 games. They still smoked Arizona 42-14. The offense has 90's vibes!!
And in NASCAR news, Kansas put on another great weekend of races! JGR pit crews (as usual) screwed Denny and Ty from any chance at winning. Bell (and Kyle Busch, for anyone who cares) ran out of talent while leading. Truex couldn't hold the lead when he had it either. (JGR has to be the weakest "major" team in the sport for giving up the lead on restarts) They're all soft. >:( lol Racing was still good though!

Given the weather here yesterday there wasn’t much to do, so I watched the race. Or a majority of it anyway. I had to turn the tv off about 5:15 so I could have dinner by 7:00. I think there were about 60 laps left. I should’ve just turned on the play station.
Mickstix:
So you missed Busch getting loose and spinning out while leading? He was trying to stay ahead of Watermelon man as well as lapping Briscoe. Briscoe went low, then drifted back up mid corner leaving him barely a lane on top, he tried to make it fit, lost air, got loose and swatted bees for a bit. Brought out the yellow, Chastain went on to win. :-| Playstation aint got nonna dat! :raspberry: :snicker:
You have the TV and Stove sharing 1 plug? :huh: :rofl:
