What happens now.

BlackIce:
FWIW, Raffl and Dillon have been removed from the Caps' Website roster, along with Chara and Anderson.  I presume this is a UFA update.  Vanacek has not yet been added, for whatever reason(s).


So you can see a stripped-down roster:  12 FW, 6 D, 1 G.  Assuming Vanacek fills the G hole, that's 20 players, which includes one HUGE question mark -- Kempney.  Need a FW or two, a LHD or two.

alta:
yes, an actual update to the team website. They added the regular season schedule to the team calendar, but not the preseason schedule... and apparently still have no clue when camp starts
 :yawn:

I'm more than okay with getting Vitek back for just the cost of that pick.  (even if it's a one year deal, but I expect we resign him again)


I would bet money there was talk of this scenario with Seattle PRIOR to the draft.  So many shenanigans going on with the expansion draft that nobody really knows about.  Probably no guarantee from either side, but I'd bet there was some nudge, nudge, wink, wink going on with this prior to the expansion draft.


Basically in the end, you lost Dillon in the deal, but picked up draft pick for him (two picks received for trading him away)  Had Seattle taken Dillon in the draft, we'd be exactly where we are now minus one draft pick,
Hate to lose Dillon's toughness, but trading him away to shed $4m salary, net gain of 1 pick, and NOT losing anything in the draft if pretty fucking awesome if you ask me.


Can we actually win with Vitek and the Russian headcase?  WTF knows.  Looks like we gonna find out.
