Iorio was claimed by San Jose.
Dubois sat out practice today, lower body. McIlrath is still listed on IR, but he can be activated tomorrow before the game.
Ouch. That seems dumb, let a young BIG D man, 2nd round pick go for nothing. I think I would risked Mac - he'd have better chance of clearing. I like Mac and all, but he's 35 and likely in his last year. Caps must either see something in him they don't trust or have more talent up and coming they think can replace him before they need him.
I'm a little surprised - he made team out of camp and then lose him to waivers.
Chisolm has looked good, but still - with as many OLD D as we have, I would think Vinnie would have gotten some games this year. For me, TVR and Carlson should NOT be renewed next year so..there 2 spots open. Mac is in his last or close to last season at NHL level so he will be out of picture too.
I looked at Caps prospects and I don't see anyone on Iorio's level, and certainly not his size. This is a head scratcher to me.
I would have risked Lappy, or Mac, or Milano before Vinnie.
