Well they made about as big a splash as could be expected with the goalie trade and them "planning for" Backy's return pretty much dictated the rest. You need to fill 3+ roster spots with a total of $3m Cap space doesn't get you much. All these guys are basically bargain fill-ins. Irwin, Brown, Mojo.
The Brown guy looks like a fill-in for Hags as a PK specialist to me.
All the twit responses on the Twitter are very negative about the Mojo signing. I don't really have issue with it. It's one year at fair price for a known entity. I'm not expecting Mojo to light up the scoring sheet, but then....I'm not expecting that from any $1m guy.
I mean I'd love for the Caps to have gone out after a real 2C but the reality is....they can't (or choose not to) afford one due to the cap

I suppose we better keep an eye out for an Eller trade. That or CMac won't be getting a sweater again next year.

The way this is worded it doesn’t sound like a done deal yet. I wonder if this includes an option in case Backy can’t play again.

Whatever.. We're probably gonna struggle to keep up if Ovi isn't on fire. Missing Willy and Nicky (caliber) is gonna make our offense offensive, imo. Still think the Russian kid was our "yay" moment this offseason. Guess it'll be a couple years before we get to see him much. Oh well, that's Caps hockey for ya!
Shit nevermind, we did get our Nicky replacement! :rofl:

I was hoping for some Miller magic but this is nice, except for the term

All the "big" twits are saying it's done? And I just realized, the Mojo signing probably fucks Snively.. :-\ He's got a 1 way contract and I assume will be stuck in Hershey unless someone gets hurt. (Or wasted sitting in the press box all year)
