God drat I'm still mad about losing Schmidt. The Capitals should have been willing to give up a lot to keep him but it doesn't shock me that Trotz and MacLellan don't actually see how good he is and the type of value he's going to provide on like a $2M a year contract.

I guess he's sick of being stuck in Hartford. Seems like another JAM situation, and if he gets a chance somewhere I bet he's going to be a great bottom 6 guy.

Okay, it makes sense to me from a game theory perspective for GMGM to make relatively soft deals with teams to take bad contracts and stockpile picks. I can see tactic there. And I guess the reason he's still selecting poo poo players when there isn't any deal is because the plan is a hard tank? Okay, I think that's a bad plan, but I suppose there's an argument for it. It's something GMGM himself executed in 2003, so maybe he feels comfortable with it. So why the gently caress take the actually good, skilled, cheap, young defenseman off the Caps?! I'm half betting he grabbed Nate Schmidt just as a gently caress you for all the poo poo he's gotten about the Forsburg trade. What a motherfucker.

some of the defensemen who got norris votes over McDonagh are lol McDonagh should get some kind of "played with the biggest boat anchor and still managed to be good" award

I also wonder if there's bad blood between McPhee and McLellan. I have absolutely no info on that one way or the other, but it's entirely plausible to me that the dude isn't super fond of his former assistant who took his job. No reason to play nice if the relationship is already bad.

Since Carolina has been rumored to be looking to move one of their defensemen for other pieces, is this the "replacement" to help round out the roster when they try move someone like Faulk e: sounds like those rumors might have been more wishful thinking by other teams so nevermind.

I feel like there has to be another piece moving out. Vegas took an AHL forward and a 5th from Carolina which is an incredibly low grade haul. I was sure Stempniak would have been taken by Vegas.

Matt Zerella posted:I mean, Snow got bent over last night so who knows? he did? they gave up a mid-round first in a mediocre draft, a 2nd a year later, and a middling prospect for the chance to offload a huge albatross contract and keep their entire core intact. now they have cap space to bring in an eberle/duchene. it was a good deal. e: when their protected list first came out i thought he was a moron because i thought they were going to lose their first and a useful player. instead they lost nothing useful to them AND offloaded grabovski's contract. vegas would have been better off rejecting the deal and taking hamonic/de haan/nelson, any one of whom they could have had. a false fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jun 22, 2017 |
