my only complaint is I wish he signed for less money, but that would just give management an excuse to not cut bait with a couple guys that should go

It's nice to see the Caps actually GET some draft pics for a change, rather than constantly selling them off just to get rid of bad contracts.


I'm actually sorry to see Dillon go.  I think he will be missed here.  His toughness is lacking in most of the rest of the lineup.  Nice to have the 3.9m back to play with.  I'd think I'd rather lose Shulz and his 4.0m salary gone than Dillon.  Shulz is a puck mover though....I  just hate losing size and toughness.
I sure hope we aren't hanging our hats on Kempny and Jensen to take up any toughness slack.  Makes me wonder if they are seriously talking to Groot for another bargain year.
I'd like to see Fever or Alexeyev get real playing time.  Sounds like Fever is the next up.

They probably see the writing on the wall. "Toughness" will be a 2 minute penalty here shortly..

With Ovi signed, that leaves about 4.1m in cap space and only an 18 man roster....


with um....0 goalies on it.


so two roster spots will go to Goalies.....


Anybody know what Sammy is going to cost?  I'm assuming some sort of short term bridge deal to keep the cap cost down, but is that 2.5....3.0...?  What's he worth?
