We certainly didn’t get a deal on an NHL elite, HOF bound physical defenseman top tier enforcer that some act like we did.

I don't think a single person is acting like did.

Probably not a surprise, but Korn heads to the Islanders with the rest of em'... :-\
Korn joins Trotz and Lambert in NY. (Named director of goaltending.)

No, not a surprise. But once again, the organization suffers no real loss of continuity because Korn promoted Scott Murray to goaltender coach last year and worked in more of an advisory capacity. Not to say he won't be missed, but this HAS to be about an extreme an example that I've ever seen of an organizational makeover that isn't really a makeover at all. It's really all about continuation and giving the same band another chance to play the same tune.

"Korn became the Capitals' director of goaltending ahead of the 2017-18 season. The move was made so that he could scale back his schedule, and spend more time at home. He returned to limited day-to-day operations when goaltender Braden Holtby went through a difficult stretch during February and March."
Hopefully winning the Cup will allow Holtby to not rely so much on Korn.. But I read in the comments below that article, someone quoted the WP, his Sports Psych guy, saying that had to talk him off the ledge.. Something about the goal posts and puck don't know who the "director of goaltending" is.. lol
4 Caps:
Caps sign Wilson, six years 31 million. That is about what people were speculating the contract would be between 4.5 and 5.5 million per year. I think it is a good deal for both sides, Wilson gets long term security and Caps get a reasonabl cap hit although some people may think it is a little high.
That pretty much takes care of business that needed to be done in the off season. Can’t wait for start of training camp.
Reading more, the contract is for 31.02 million with an average of 5.17 per year.
