I had higher hopes for AA. But from what I saw, he's too slow. And I don't believe that's fixable. He'll probably end up a hall of fame blue liner, but that'll be our luck.  :rofl:

Yes - I also was high on Alexyev and never thought they gave him a fair shot - although I am coming to believe that they know what they are doing with personnel lately. I kind of like what they have done on the free agent and trade front this year - which was mainly just resigning Fever.  They also targeted Sourdif from Florida and paid more than we liked, but they must really feel good about him because they are filling a slot that might otherwise go to one of their draft picks that are close to playing - Miro, Lappy, etc...

 - 3.6 for Mangi is high.  He showed some skills but I really didn't see Caps signing (nor did i want to) he was way overpaid for the production.  I think Oilers is more his style of play, but who knows.
 - Eller gone...I like him, but he def lost a step and was a zero scoring threat. McMike stepped up some last year and also stated end of season he wants to play center so maybe he can handle 3C (although he was more productive on wing)
Raddysh - not surprised.  what kind of coin did he get?  I hoped for more from him, especially physically, but never really did much.
Alexeyev is a disappointment.  I always wanted him to be more, but he just never got there.  I think that's on him and not on the coaching.  Lavi, i expect to not give him a shot, but Carbs was pretty good at getting the best or developing young guys.  Maybe Alexeyev just missed the timing/chance to do that. He was a late 1st round pick though, and is 25 - he should be better by now.  What always strikes me about Alexeyev is compare him to Fehrevary - they are the same age, yet Fever made the best of his opportunities in the same Caps system and he's a stud.  Could just be talent and speed too.
Alexeyev getting only a 1 year deal for league minimum is also telling.  That's the best he could do in FA?

Cristal now rocking an Ovi look...

The Caps resign Beauvillier for two years at $2.75M per year. This news came late, and well after it was announced Ehlers signed with Carolina.
