Off Season

Givin the D corp, I wouldn't be surprised to see Orpik do one more year at
1for$1M deal, if he doesn't get that offer I bet he retires.
LW Bura needs to walk.
LW keep Hags because he still has skill & speed, assuming he'd want to
RW Maybe give DSP a shot at camp, see if he's in shape, he will be cheap. If
he's not in shape again let him walk. He made difference when brought
up for the playoffs, then got benched for OT :huh:
LW Vrana needs to stay.
RW Conno ??
D Djoos ??
C Stephenson ??

Yep, season's over. Cup honey moon, also over.. Time to get real on these bitches!! Burt is a soft, 100' footer who doesn't kill penalties.. No way in hell should we even consider 3+ million for him, which IIRC is what the "minimum" is to sign him.. Use that 3 million elsewhere..
(Sad thing is, at his size, speed and skill, with a little motivation and heart, he could be a premier "power" forward.) :-\

We've been having the exact same conversation about Bura for 4 years, time to go

I'd like to see Orpik for another 1/1. I'd agree he'll retire if it doesn't happen. I can't see him moving to another team at his age, and he is a huge family guy and surely doesn't want to move again....but then if someone offered me $3-4 mill for one year, I'd play elsewhere for a year and leave the family where they are.
I'd let Djoos walk and play Ziggy (especially if Orpik is around), but the Caps seem to really like Djoos. Plus, play Ziggy and get him lots of regular season game experience - I think that's all he's missing.
Definitely say bye bye to Bura (way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way overdue there)
Definitely sign Vranna. Not sure what that will cost, but at some point you have to move forward and pick guys to be part of your future. (I do recall wanting to use him as trade bait about 2-3 years ago, but not anymore)
I'm okay on DSP on the cheap too. With our Cap struggles, we are going to need some guys on the cheap, AND we definitely need some guys with grit in their game.
I'd like to keep the Hagler as well, but I don't see us affording him. What would it cost to get him? $3+ mil I would think? I think he is/can be a really good fit for us. Fills a lot of holes we need filled - great PK, good speed, good skills, good 3rd wing and can play 2nd wing also. You can plug him into several spots which gives you some flexibility with lines when needed.
Conno...I've always liked Conno...for the price. Not sure I'd like him at a higher price tag. He DOES score and he has shown some SC scoring as well. I see him as a relatively solid 3rd line guy than can produce some much needed 3rd line scoring, but.....I don't want to pay him real top 6 pay, which I think he might get somewhere based on his goal numbers.
Djoos - send him back to the flyweight division
Stepho - meh, no idea. I liked him a lot previous year, then this year he just sort of floundered and didn't show much even when given opportunity. Again, we need some cheap guys, and he has decent size and good speed, but he'd have to be a relative cheap deal.
Go Caps.
Mickstix:
Wonder what it would take to get Johannson back? On the last year of his deal, 4.25 mil.. 28 years old. Probably not dooable, but if they let Burt walk, that's 3 mil.. If they could trade Niskanen..

I wish, but he’s a UFA that will probably get that or more
Besides GMBetaMale nor only gave him away once, but, for whatever reason didn’t go for, or pay for him at the trade deadline.
