2018 Off-Season Signings, Trades, etc.

[DC_1908]

   I heard rumors of him possibly retiring. I didnt know he had issues with his back.

Looks like he missed most of camp. . .


It sucks as he's still amoung the best all around players in the league, but . . .it gives other players, particularly the next Captain (who ever that will be), a big chance to step up

   Surprised that no one has mentioned that the Caps have signed Sergei Shumakov to a one year, two way entry-level contract worth $925,000.
     DC isn't going to like this move.

It just became official today.  You beat me to it.  Interesting signing but it could be an outstanding move if he pans out.  Our forward depth is very thin and if he develops into a consistent scorer it would be great.  People are speculating he will replace Connolly on the third line.  Looking forward to seeing him in training camp.  He and Kuzy must know each other what with being from the same city in Russia and the same age.  They probably played youth hockey together and maybe that is why the Capitals were able to sign him.

    Lol. I dont know much about him but I'm pretty sure he is the type of player that you dislike. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Maybe if he fits in they can trade Burakovsky. Shumakov is a left winger and I dont think he us suited to be a 4th line player so who else would he replace. The only other guy I could think of might be Connolly.
    I wish I could find more information on the guy. Other than some offensive skill I know nothing about his game. I hope he is a decent 2way player.
