Trade Deadline
Mickstix:
They could find takers for Oshie and Carlson if they wanted to, imo. I don't see how they ever get better/younger/faster "standing pat" though, which is apparently what they plan to do.
Beaglefan2:
Betcha they throw Sprong in on a trade. They clearly don't like him for some reason. I have suspected that he may not be a "team guy". He actually has the nerve to be selfish and shoot the puck rather than pass it.
For years, our team has been instilled with the nice-guy, pass rather than shoot philosophy. Drives me nuts and I think we are a worse team for it. Kuzy could be a top 5 scorer in the league if he aggressively shot the puck....
alta:
at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Sprong asked to be traded
Mickstix:
For sure, if I was Sprong I'd be requesting a trade.. Like I said before, I keep reading he doesn't play defense is why he's getting scratched? But, McMichael doesn't play defense, or offense, for that matter. lol But yea, they'll lose a young, fast, goal scorer for something they could probably work out if they had any patience for young players.
Just watching Nicky skate is depressing.. Dude hit the fence hard and hopefully can get some of it back in the offseason? 9.2 million for 3 more years.. Oof. Love some of these guys, but you can't keep around 3 or 4 old, slow dudes who are killing your cap, regardless of sentiment.. Carlson literally make 7+ million a year to do a look away pass to Ovi on the PP.. That's all he does.. :-\
Beaglefan2:
Deadline getting closer and the Caps have turned it around enough that our management will probably do something stupid and throw away some more draft picks. I'm hoping that Vanacek's play will cause them to not trade for a goalie, but they will probably try and add a forward. I wish they would just play Sprong instead, but he must have insulted Lavi's wife or something.
