I have no idea why McLellan is talking about adding a forward. Does he notice they have the 5th worst road GAA in the league? They need defense help, not a forward. And I don't care what Carlson's plus/minus is. He's a liability on defense many times each game. Nisky and Orlov get pushed around. Orpik hits people but slow and getting old. Kempny and Siegenthaler are our best defensemen at this point. The current crew isn't going to cut it come playoff time.

yea, about the only thing everyone agrees on is the Caps need a good defenseman. And not a rental either, whoever they get needs to be here a couple years minimum

Forwards sell more jerseys. Also, 9-4 losses are easier to market than 7-2 losses.
But, it would be a good move if the forward was an elite faceoff, winner, top penalty killer, and can shut down other teams top lines. . . but we all know they won’t do that.

nope, it wasn't a bad dream :O=
