What Might Have Been

<< < (3/3)

4 Caps:
I will never be convinced and the salary cap argument I don’t buy at all. They could have worked something out.  We will have to agree to disagree and there is really no reason to continue this argument because what is done is done.  We have to focus on the future and what we should do this season at the trade deadline.  Personally, I don’t see the Caps doing much because we won’t be able to fit a big contract under the cap nor do we have enough assests to acquire a difference maker.

  I agree that the trade at the time wasnt as bad as people think. If Forsberg didnt pan out in Nashville that trade couldn't be an issue. In my opinion I dont think Forsberg would be the same player here. We bring up our young players slowly. Dont let them play through there mistakes. Until this season because we are forced to.
      In the end it was a business decision. I think the deal helped Nashville more than it hurt us.

     I dont think anyone is disagreeing with you. I dont think we can accurately predict how things would have played out had we kept Forsberg. I have no clue. If I had to guess I would say his development would have been hindered here. He may have turned out to be a player like Johansson.
