zilla award winner announces the caps sign..

Eric Fehr......2 years 4.4 million....

That is all.....

 

[elocomotive]

Hahahaha. He's using it early and often! Damn you, 46!

Great news. After Backstrom, Schultz and Fehr were the most important signings this offseason. I think the Caps' front office is 3 for 3 on these guys now. Nice work, GMGM.

Now if we could only get some other team to submit a sweet sweet offer sheet for Flash.

Where does that leave us now in terms of cap space? I'm too lazy to look it up

$1.98 left.

$1.98 left.

Uggggh... two more pennies and we'd have two McDoubles.

Tax.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Just throw the $1.98 on the counter and fucking run with the food.

Alright, I did a little working b/c most of the salary cap sites don't have Carlson and/or Alzner on the team right now, and have gaps. Below is the rough lineup assuming Alzner and Carlson are both up on the team and they work out a way to keep Nylander off the cap again.

The lineup below is going to cost us $47.6 million next year. The salary cap is supposed to be at around $59 million this coming season (anyone know the exact figure, or is it not decided yet?). So, that leaves about $11 million left for signing two centers.

Ovechkin - Backstrom - Knuble
Semin - ________ - Laich
Fehr - ________ - Chimera
Gordon - Bradley - Steckel

Schultz - Green
Carlson - Alzner
Poti - Erskin
(Sloan in reserve)

Varlamov
Neuvirth

They could presumably sign Fleischmann (I'm guessing somewhere just under $3 million) and promote Perreault ($700K+) and still have about $6-7 million to sign reserves, mid-year adjustments, etc.

Really makes me wonder why Volchenkov was not on their list. At just over $4mil per, he would have been a perfect compliment for this team. And with Semin, Knuble, and Poti all coming off the sheet next year (unless they extend or re-sign), that's more than $11 million in wiggle room. Ugh...

I have to guess Shaone Morrisson and Eric Belanger (both around $2million per) are still on their radar.

A few things to comment on:

2 centers and maybe a D-man.......Free Willie pleese

Bradley is a winger, Steckel or Gordo will be 4th line center

You got the 3rd line and 2nd line LW and RW backwards. should be:
Liach-_____-Semin
Chimera-____-Fehr

oh, and Eskine has an 'e' at then end

Belanger is asking for too many years, they will not re-sign him

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I meant! So you're too lazy to look it up, but not above slamming me on minute details?

Maybe not, but if nobody else bites, he might change his terms.

maybe, doubt it though
