Not sure if I like this, hopefully it works out..

https://novacapsfans.com/2024/10/07/washington-capitals-sign-jakub-vrana-to-one-year-775000-contract/

Im okay with it.  Its league minimum one year deal.  It's pretty much peanuts for a guy with his "potential"  If he doesn't perform, send him to Hershey...if he doesn't clear waivers...oh well.
I hate that CapFriendly is gone.  I can't figure the salary cap reliably anymore.  Sportrac is basic at best and not always up to date.
So the Caps website doesn't show Vranna on the roster, and it shows Backy on the roster but not Oshie.  It also shows Bear on the roster.  :huh:

Best I can figure is Caps are at 78.2m total with Vranna.  I don't know if Bear counts (buried NHL contract)?  If so, add another $912,500, so puts Caps just north of $79.1 million
(this is minus the 9.2m and 5.575m from Backy & Oshie on LTIR cap relief)

So, for once, the Capitals have some cap space, but mostly due to injury.  Let's hope they are in a position to be wanting to use it later this season.
They are going to need to save $4mil or so of that for a goal tender next season.....and that's if they only want one.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Caps dot com is one of the worst run websites in the league for getting information to the fans. But, they did post this today..

Well I'm happy to see McIlrath make the squad, but will he get to play?  I see Hershey also starts play Oct 12th.  Back to back Calder cup champs will not have their team captain in attendance for opening night festivities.

Who's Bears team Captain? Mcllrath? Anyway, Im fine with Vrana on a 1 year. Only downside is it's more of a "win now" attempt, instead of a "let gets these younger guys NHL ice" move, but we'll see... They've certainly been dealing in the offseason like they don't want to rebuild. Never seen it actually work, but shit, what do I know. I was all pissed off when the Redskins moved Sam Howel (and drafted a QB) after last season.  :wackysmile: :rofl:

so they have the opening night roster, but not all those guys will dress, no?
I mean they won't have 13 forwards and 8 D on the ice?

I hope The Undertaker actually gets a starting sweater

Lots of new guys and I haven't watched any pre-season so the opening night will be interesting. I'm hoping that Alexyev is in the top six defenseman so they continue to develop him. This should be the year he really proves his value. Without thinking through the righty-lefty thing, I would think it would be between him and TVR for that last spot.

welp, I saw Mick was logged in briefly this morning so he must have survived

In other news, the Caps waived a guy today that I had no clue about. Apparently he had been injured the entire time of training camp and was just cleared.

Also, in the ironic department, the Hurricanes game in Tampa Saturday has been postponed because of the hurricane.

Anthony Mantha scored a on a shorthanded breakaway with nice finish for Calgary vs Seattle.  Then got an assist on the PP.  Then got a 5 minute fighting major.  Gordie Howe hat trick for Big Tony
Apparently ANTMAN left his stone hands somewhere between Washington & Vegas.

Seattle was up 4-1 and Flames came back to go up 5-4.  Krakken tied it and Flames win in OT.
Hens lost to Rags 6-0  :lol:

The guys that run weatherbell.com seem to be better forecasters than NOAA. But this is what NOAA thinks..

Utah Hockey Club and St Louis Blues lead the entire NHL in the standings.  Currently the only two teams with 2-0 records :wackysmile:

Right. Let’s name a team after something that is a known concern in the Carolina’s, then get upset at the name when it actually happens.
