Im okay with it. Its league minimum one year deal. It's pretty much peanuts for a guy with his "potential" If he doesn't perform, send him to Hershey...if he doesn't clear waivers...oh well.
I hate that CapFriendly is gone. I can't figure the salary cap reliably anymore. Sportrac is basic at best and not always up to date.
So the Caps website doesn't show Vranna on the roster, and it shows Backy on the roster but not Oshie. It also shows Bear on the roster. :huh:
Best I can figure is Caps are at 78.2m total with Vranna. I don't know if Bear counts (buried NHL contract)? If so, add another $912,500, so puts Caps just north of $79.1 million
(this is minus the 9.2m and 5.575m from Backy & Oshie on LTIR cap relief)
So, for once, the Capitals have some cap space, but mostly due to injury. Let's hope they are in a position to be wanting to use it later this season.
They are going to need to save $4mil or so of that for a goal tender next season.....and that's if they only want one.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Caps dot com is one of the worst run websites in the league for getting information to the fans. But, they did post this today..

Well I'm happy to see McIlrath make the squad, but will he get to play? I see Hershey also starts play Oct 12th. Back to back Calder cup champs will not have their team captain in attendance for opening night festivities.

Who's Bears team Captain? Mcllrath? Anyway, Im fine with Vrana on a 1 year. Only downside is it's more of a "win now" attempt, instead of a "let gets these younger guys NHL ice" move, but we'll see... They've certainly been dealing in the offseason like they don't want to rebuild. Never seen it actually work, but shit, what do I know. I was all pissed off when the Redskins moved Sam Howel (and drafted a QB) after last season. :wackysmile: :rofl:
