Well I don't know the guy, but he did play for a team with a good defense last year. Not all that big though.
SURE HOPE Fever comes back strong next year. He is our most solid D man IMO
Let's see what tomorrow brings (please not rat, please no rat, please no rat)

That being said, this year is a transition year as Ovi and Carlson contracts come off after this coming season.

I find it sort of startling that Patrick said very matter-of-factly that the Ovie and Carlson contracts are coming off the books next year. We all expect Ovie to retire/return to Russia to play, but hearing a comment that suggests that Carlson won't be with the team after next season will probably make several people here quite happy.
Beaglefan2:
Wow - didn't know Patrick said that. Let's hope today that they announce that they have resigned Fever to a long term deal. He still seems to have a pretty low profile in the league, but I bet a bunch of GMs would go after him. So I would predict a 6 year deal with an average of $6 million. I'd be ok with that, but with the cap going up, it may take a bit more.
Mickstix:
Must be nice to be a dynasty where players will absolutely do whatever it takes to play there.. Fl remains intact once again, resigning both Bennett and Ekblad to sweetheart/hometown deals. ::)
Oh, and you can breath Rich, they also extended "Marchy".. So, no Rats in DC.. :snicker:

I just thought -- could it mean that Carlson's CURRENT contract is coming off the books, but they might resign him, maybe to a lower AAV follow-up?
