Speculation: Acq./Rost. Bldg./Cap Part LX (FA Frenzy 2015)

[aquablue]

This should take Sharp out of consideration at least given Chicago's likely inability to take salary back. Any future hockey trade needs to be roughly salary neutral. At most they might have a net $2M to spare or so.

This doesn't rule out Sharp. We could give them prospects/Picks. Williams is not good enough to be our 1RW. He is a 40 point guy. Sorry

 

[hockeykicker]

This guy hasn't scored more than 40 points since 2011. IF this is our new RW, Im very pissed off at GMBM.

He had more then 40 points this year and the year before

 

[aquablue]

You really cant make this up. Best game 7 player in the sport and universally praised? Bash GMBM

He's a 40 point player, hardly first line material. But if that's what you want, a declining 33 year old 40 point player for our first line, so be it.

 

[strungout]

Come on NHL gm's...please value Marcus Johansson.

The numbers are the numbers.

No we can't. We don't have the salary space to do so. Research before you post

Based on what projections for the RFAs?

Between $12-13M total. Maybe they come in lower but it's hard to count on it.

This so much.

 

[EroCaps]

Williams is a slight Ward upgrade.

Not a 1RW on a Cup winner.

Earlier today you were saying if they dont sign anyone today then you wouldn't watch this year. They signed the best free agent forward for cheap and now your on to complaining again? We all want a superstar but one day at a time man

 

[Carlzner]

I'd rather see a LW for Kuz.

I'd offer Ward this exact deal and see if he bites.

Ovechkin - Backstrom - Wilson
Sharp - Kuz - Williams
Chimera - Beagle - Ward
Laich - Latta - Brown?

Plz GMBM

 

[hb12xchamps]

Williams in the post season is a different player. Do you really think he can play 82 games with Ovi and Nicky, a position that needs a player to constantly crash the net and grind in the corners that could wear on him I think. Need a bigger body like Willy, Oshie, Backes, or Sharp for speed

Williams can be a gritty player. I think he would fit in just fine with Ovechkin and Backstrom

Yeah it totally sucks to get last year's Conn Smythe winner.

 

[aquablue]

Williams is a slight Ward upgrade.

Not a 1RW on a Cup winner.

Exactly, all these fan boys here praising GMBM like he's Jesus are totally off.
Expect another aging slow offensive corp next year.

 

[hb12xchamps]

People never seem to amaze me. We sign one of the best FA F's on the market to a below market value deal and they still find ways to ***** and complain about this team. The Caps can't do anything right apparently

 

[Calicaps]

Ovechkin - Backstrom - Wilson
Sharp - Kuz - Williams
Chimera - Beagle - Ward
Laich - Latta - Brown?

Plz GMBM

Please say you're not trading Bura for Sharp...

 

[strungout]

Offer the 1st, Mojo, and Carrick around and see who they can get. Could that land an Oshie?

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Something I was considering early today--could a third team in a trade merely act as an intermediary to retain salary? For example, Caps send futures to Chicago and to team C. Team C sends something small to Chicago for Sharp, retains salary, and sends him to Washington.

Legit under the CBA?

 

[Carlzner]

Please say you're not trading Bura for Sharp...

Ha, completely forgot about him actually. Was hoping for a Mojo+Brouwer+ trade for Sharp. Not even sure where Bura fits in that lineup.

 

[tmljeh19*]

Big GMBM hater here...

Justin Williams as our 2RW...absolutely love the deal

Justin Williams as our 1RW...absolutely hate the deal


Here's hoping he's being slotted on the second line. One of 3 move that need to be made by GMBM in my book. Check number 1...so far so good.

 

[Langway]

If there's one drawback to Ward -> Williams it's that Williams doesn't really kill penalties (and probably shoudn't). They need another PK forward at least, ideally a center somewhere around $1-1.5M. Weiss/Brodziak...maybe Williams can vouch for Stoll.

 

[OV Rocks]

I love the Williams signing but people be realistic this fills the SECOND LINE winger that we have needed that is what his role should be

 

[tmljeh19*]

That would have landed Kessel so I'm sure it'll land Oshie

 

[Calicaps]

Man, I'd drive them to the airport myself. Have to think the Blues want an upgrade on one of those players: Bura or Bowey.
