Confirmed with Link: Michal Kempny to capitals for a 3rd round pick

[hb12xchamps]

the fact that trotz is hesitant to even say that someone has to go down makes me think theres a part 2 coming

Does anyone know if they can fit him under the cap right now? If not, I'd assume there's a part two incoming for sure

 

[AtNightWeFly]

if they start sitting djoos im gonna be so mad

Get ready!
Hopefully he's at least better than Mike Weber.

Nice slapper

Yup. GMBM Warming up...

In an ideal world Orpik sits (or is launched out of Washington completely). I agree if Djoos sits it’s a terrible move but hopefully that’s not the case.

I figured a depth Dman was in their plans but as everyone knows team defense has been bad overall. That's something the coaches have to address, not gmbm. A lot of our problems have come when 9 and 2 are on the ice and this guy isn't going to fix any of that.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Great slapper indeed.

 

[Bananas]

Now Trotz will have the chance to tinker with our D.

What a relief...

He can tinker some more.

I’ve been harping on it and I know it must be getting annoying, but we’re just a few more rounds of tinkering from really becoming something special.

Tinkering. Just what the doctor ordered.

But seriously, hopefully this is a precursor move. In and of it’s self it’s beyond useless.

 

[Capsman]

I have zero faith in management to make any in-season savvy moves. It's been one lousy, future sacrificing move after another for years now. Wish Uncle Ted would take BM's keys away.

Vomit.

Is Kempny really that much better than anything we have? (Hint: the answer is not really)

capfriendly says they are under cap with kempny

hes better then bowey and chorney

 

[peterthegreat12]

hes better then bowey and chorney

I would argue marginally.

 

[hockeykicker]

I would argue marginally.

what are you basing this off of? obviously ive never seen kempny play

I agree. To be honest I dont know a lot about him but he doesn't have a ton of NHL experience. I was hoping we would pick up a veteran.

You haven't watched any Blackhawk games?

 

[Corby78]

hes better then bowey and chorney

Big picture he is better than chorney. Bowey has potential, and thus value in being played.

he does have a ton of profession league experience and even a season in the khl

Is he?

 

[Brian23]

hes better then bowey and chorney

Then he's better then Orpik by a wide margin.

Orpik has been tbat bad. Bowey isn't the one we should jumj to replace.

 

[hockeykicker]

not really, no

 

[peterthegreat12]

not really, no

Then....how do you know he is better than either Bowey or Chorney?

 

[hockeykicker]

Orpik has been tbat bad. Bowey isn't the one we should jumj to replace.

but bowey can be sent to ahl. not saying they should but thats the simple move. djoos cant go to ahl. they waive chorney?
