Habs fan here.
I'm gonna miss Dietz
He's a great signing for you guys. He never really got a fair shake in Montreal imo
What on earth is that dance move?

Where was that from?
Off of Mike Vogel's twitter page. He did an interview with GMBM.
A solid top 6 center would be another position of need, especially if we lose any of the kids for long periods of time. Boyd gives them flexibility to slide to the wing if anyone makes the Caps out of camp.
It certainly seems like somebody is going to make the Caps out of camp. As it stands now, the Capitals would have to roll 13F and 7D (ie leaving a roster spot open) in order for Hershey to have that roster. To me, I'd bet one of Boyd, Stephenson, or Bowey makes the Capitals out of training camp to eat up that last roster spot.
There's also the possibility that Galiev doesn't make the Caps and is down in Hershey (barring him trying to get out of his contract and return to Europe).
Flames just got Linden Vey on a 2-way contract. That would have been a nice move both from a Washington center depth perspective and a Hershey top 6 center perspective.
G Parker Milner signed by Hershey per his Twitter. Looks like he'll split with Carlson in South Carolina.
What's the point of Stephenson or Bowey to make the team out of camp? Being the scratch?
If there is no injury there is no chance Bowey stays in the NHL with Orlov/Schmidt/Orpik healthy. It's just losing one depth guy (Chorney) for nothing, and it's not like Bowey will have much TOI behind Carlson and Niskanen.
Stephenson/Walker/Vrana/Boyd/Berber are different, but they better get more TOI in the AHL too.
Galiev sitting in the press box is much better because he's not exactly young and his potential is not exactly high.
A 19 year-old Connor Carrick cracked the Capitals roster out of camp one year. Yes, this blueline is much more crowded than that one was, but I don't think it's out of the question Bowey forces his way into the line-up at the beginning of the year. I wouldn't bet money on it, but I wouldn't be shocked, either. A lot of it comes down to what happens with Orlov.
The Bourque signing makes the Brad Malone signing look even worse. I'm wondering if Malone or Sill have a shot as being "Latta" next season
Don't know why I forgot Sill in my previous post on the topic but I think there's a solid chance Sill is the #13/14 in Washington.
Well, you're in luck on both fronts...I rather would have had Ryan Bourque if that was their thinking. He was one of the best Hershey forwards down the stretch.
Hell why not sign Gazely? He was arguably their best PK forward and still shouldn't be a vet
Well, you're in luck on both fronts...
The Thomas signing seems more puzzling now with Gazley back. Gazley's quite arguably better and didn't require an NHL deal.
Also, Warsofsky promoted to Head Coach for South Carolina.
I know I'll be hated for this but I would not mind if Mitchell was moved. He was a "no show" in playoffs and also a vet that doesn't bring much offense. I realize he is well liked and supposedly a good leader but I've seen no improvement from him.
