No more choking!
I'm guessing only 1 or 2 move. But this seems like a higher profile trade market than in prior years.

Trotz on the day he was hired was interviewed by Scott Laughlin on Sirius/XM and Ward was brought up by Laughlin and how successful he performed last season as well as for Canada in the recent WC (or whatever they call it that was just played in May). Trotz was very complimentary and noted that Ward took the unusual route in getting in to the NHL by way of the lesser known Canadian college that he had played for.

I think kuz is a rw on his offside. so moving ov back to the left and kuz to the right is a wash

So Booth and Leino are being bought out and now are the Capitals top 2 targets in free agency.

What as MacLellan done that indicates he is actually critical of this team or any different from McPhee?
Dumpster diving is all the Capitals do in free agency.

He's been in charge for 23 days. I'll reserve judgement until something or nothing actually happens.

While I agree with you historically, I think it's fair to reserve judgment on this. Leonsis still has integrity in my book and he said he was openly re-evaluating the culture of the Washington Capitals. This team has historically spent close to the cap since Ovechkin was drafted - so I think the resistance to free agent spending had more to do with McPhee's risk tolerance than tight purse strings. McPhee usually valued the bird in his hand more than the one in the bush - and I think he usually made the right decision. We'll see whether GMBM has a similar (low) tolerance for risk as well when it comes to free agents.

Too early tell how it will all end up, of course, but I've had the feeling that the farther they get from the initial disappointment of missing the playoffs the more the "gotta shake things up" soark fades. I think they lost some of that initial fire during the GM search and it may be next to nothing by the time the next round of moves (or non-moves) lands on the table.

Shawn Thornton informed by the Bruins that he won't be resigned. Would love him in DC on the 4th line. It'd be nice to have someone other than Wilson throw mitts.

His confidence isn't the problem, he's just never been the same since his concussion. I've got no interest in having him in our top 9.
