Confirmed with Link: Glencross to Capitals for 2015 2nd+3rd rounders

[Marshall]

Which 3rd? Wsh or Buf?

Great question.

 

[Bure]

They have to make another move I think.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

Decent trade. BM gets someone on that top line now and we are in business.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

If Caps pulled off a miracle trade for Kessel, how would people feel?

 

[Carlzner]

What are the chances he plays tonight? He's only a bus ride away.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Prewitt thinking were done now, says that's a fair assumption.

 

[txpd]

They have to make another move I think.

which? why?

 

[g00n]

I've left the house twice this weekend. Both times, a trade went down.

Anyone you want? I can be persuaded to go out again, for a fee.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Prewitt thinking were done now, says that's a fair assumption.

It would have to be a trade at this point, we have to be maxed out cap wise

 

[Marshall]

Also - is he the new 2nd line LW? Does this pave the way for Burakovsky down to Hershey?

Fantastic If it was for a 1st and didn't involve 65 or 92

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Looking at NHL numbers site it's not reflecting the Glencross transaction yet and it was showing the Capitals with a 2.675 cap space. Glencross's cap hit on the Flames page was showing 2.5. So if all of this is true, they don't need to make another move for cap purposes.

1st and Green, Chimera?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Pricey.

 

[OVrocks]

I don't think we could fit him under the cap unless Toronto takes Laich and Chimmer off our hands.

 

[Holtbyisms]

And Mojo back to 1rw perhaps. Calgary fans saying GlenX doesn't play RW. Can't imagine them trying to switch Ovi at this point in the year.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

Quick question, are you allowed to be over the cap by a certain max amount and take a fine for it?

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

I would say there is 0% chance Glencross is on the top line, this was a move for some forward depth. Hopefully it means Mojo is GONE by tomorrow and a beast for that top line comes in.

 

[Holtbyisms]

1st and Green, Chimera?

Probably would take a bowey or vrana or possibly even a Wilson as well. But yeah would have to be plenty of cap dump going back.

 

[trick9]

Pricey.

Not really.

Glencross is very similar player as Brouwer (20-20 all situation guy) and we paid 1st round pick to acquire him.

 

[KevinM]

1st and Green, Chimera?

That would be the biggest fleecing of all time

 

[Capitlols]

Pricey.

They can't draft for **** past the 1st round so the picks don't matter, but to use them on Glencross is very underwhelming. I could live with that price for Cole.

 

[Langway]

@CraigCustance: Flames tried hard to get Buffalo's third-round pick from Washington as part of that deal but it's the Capitals 3rd going back to Calgary.

 

[Raikkonen]

With such prices we could get much out of our UFAs...

 

[SpinningEdge]

So..... Johansson looks like he's staying put and we're going to have him locked in for 4 million/season.

.... and Laich and CHimera are still here making 6.5 million/combined.

Now that we've added GlenX and didnt' give up a roster player, the Caps should try and do all they can to just move Chimmer or Laich for anything just to free up the $$$.
