Never change, Eloco. hahaha

I think you mean it's the #JerkOff. Caps in 5.

Florida Arizona St. Louis

Random thought: If Samsonov is ready to be an NHL Backup, how many starts is enough for it to make it worth missing more games in the AHL? 20? 25? I don't know if Holtby can start 60+ games a year anymore and the remaining 25-30 starts would be a lot for either Rookie (Samsonov or Copley) but I...

Minnesota Anaheim New Jersey

Cherry picked stat (you could also say 2nd coach in 4 years) but a rookie coach is a risk. And he was amazing in the playoffs. He's likely somewhere between. Considering the rest of his resume, i'm fairly confident he can play above average goaltending. Fair, but don't most cup winners have...

Capitals, Lightning, Jets

Wilson kinda made himself a core guy this past season. His biggest value he adds is in that he can play with Ovechkin and Kuznetsov. The only other player that worked effectively with them is Oshie and he's a huge reason the 2nd line is a success. In ovechkin's Career the caps have always...

Not thinking of individual contracts, more just the impending cap hell.

Objectively a bad contract, but I guess that's just the price of being a contender for years (see Blackhawks, Chicago and Kings, Los Angeles). Gotta make the most of Ovechkin and Backstrom’s final years of their prime. Deal with the fallout later. I guess he needs the money because the real...

This thread gives me life

Anything but surprising, but it's official now.

11 of 12 forwards, 5 of 6 defensemen, and starting goalie returning for the Stanley Cup Champions. Or in other words: [}=[[[[[[[[[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4 yr 2.5M Per.

Sounds like happiness > money

1 year, 1 mil. Beauty of a deal! DC legend

Ovechkin says "Nyet".

Great work my GMBM. Grubauer and Orpik for a 2nd and Carlson? Yes please. 8 X 8 is a lot but by that time it'll be the end of OV's career, we're in full win now mode.

There's also this: Orpik at league minimum is much easier to swallow than 5.5.

Orpik actually played well this past postseason. Just no where near worth 5.5M. For all reports, he's done a great job being a mentor to a lot of younger players (Kuznetsov being the oddest of the bunch). Avs plan is to either flip him (lol, good luck) or buy him out.

Great trade for the Caps. 5.5M off the books next year and will likely allow us to re-sign Carlson. Oh, and Brooks Orpik leaving is very good.

Losing your head coach to a division rival sucks, but.... [}=[[[[[[[[[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, wow.

100% chance the new coach is Todd Reirden. He's been the coach in waiting for at least a year now. Likely the reason Trotz decided to step down.
