Yep. . .
McDonagh to TBL,
Jooris to Hens,
Tatar to VGK




That's sick for TBL.   McDonagh on your second pairing or paired with Hedman late in close games - with Vasilevsky in goal - good luck scoring against them.  They also got JT Miller, which adds more speed to a blazing fast lineup.  The only good news is that maybe, just maybe, they can send the F'n Penguins home in the ECF and not give them a shot at three-peating.

Couldn't even get one of the Lamoureux twins for Oshie deal done..  :'( lol.. I think in this instance, no news is good news.. Once this season is over with, I honestly think Ted will pull the plug and get an actual GM in here! Won't he?  :cross:


I think when Ted lost all that weight his gonads disappeared as well

More than likely, you're correct.  :-( So, what happened with the late, great, gang Green? Nobody wanted to rent him for a playoff run??  ??? Thought he was the most sought after 4th scoring forward on the moving block?  :lol:

More than certainly GMBetaMale bumbled and out mamouverd.


There was zero logic in him realistically after Karlsson, particularly after the disasterous off season he had a who he was going up against.


A better GM would of driven up the price of Karlsson, and snuck a desk for Green in while everyone was looking at Karlsson,. . .


Or tried held out to get the second playay on your list st, for three picks you don’t need, or get three picks and hold on to a D that can help with a playoff push


Or sneak a deal for the ot D to help your first place team in while everyone watches Karlsson.




If not, just say “we like where we are, didn’t see a good deal”. . . :P

Dickless and GMBetaMale are out of their league and need to relieved of their duties ASAP[/size][size=78%] [/size]

I've paid so little attention as of late I totally forgot when the trade deadline was lol. Had no idea it was today. Glad I didn't waste time watching anything. I figured Caps would do nothing anyway.

Don’t worry, that was sarcasm  ;D


Many on the old site thought he, Ward, Fehr and others “couldn’t play”, after the Rags series . . . which by Caps Orginization and fans definition means “not 1way toe-dragging Eurotrash and/or puck moving Dman that doesn’t hit or fight” . . .

I think Joel Ward is still out there.......
It was our Smiffy who took him out, sadly. No sense of propriety from the kids these days, huh?  I think we could get him cheap....  Best board player in the league.  Still.
I am

Hell, if they really wanted to make a playoff run -and- save some money, they could of moved a couple of our 3rd line guys (Eller, Connolly, Burt) for draft picks and cap cuts and brought back Chimer, Fehr AND Ward for peanuts.. Could of probably even sold it to the fans as the "3 amigos" or something and had some fun with it.. One last shot before the rebuild begins..

that would've been interesting, and Ward and Chimmer always brought plenty of energy on and off the ice. But it wouldn't fix the real problem, no defense. With some real defense the offense could open up

It wouldn't of helped this year, but maybe once they get a coach who isn't afraid of youth they could of had some picks and cap room to make improvements in the offseason. They could of at least had some fun in the post season with the old crew. I doubt it would of made any significant difference in how far they get though. Looks like a 1st round exit to me, either way.

Well, we missed out again, yeah like GMBetaMale and Dickless would get a guy who can get an elite  fighter and top D player for fourth round pick.  Even if he now has concussion issues, he’s an upgrade to all our Dman and only cost a 4th if he goes out.

Oleksiak traded back to Stars (!)


And just because it’s the greatest team song ever:

We need to say bye to Burakovsky and get some help on defense. Otherwise the boys are going to be golfing it up way earlier than we'd hoped.

Oh, and let’s not forget how Toronto just stole a D man that’s better than any of ours.


Muzzin to Leafs




Which makes Toronto even more deadly this year

Cross LA off possible takers for Bura with the Muzzlin trade.


It’s very likely we don’t (iow can not), make any deals before or at the deadline.  The mess of cap space, contract value, originizational depth, draft position, number of draft picks, BetaMales ability, and organizational philosophy put us at a disadvantage in almost any trade scenario.
