Omg come on, horrible for caps

 

[habsgirl5000]

remove backstrom and its a fair deal

 

[Benstheman]

remove backstrom and its a fair deal

Yeah right

 

[Hostile Offer]

Caps is one of the last teams in need of Price.

Yeahhh that doesn't make any sense for the Habs. We aren't desperate to unload Price's contract.

Good lord. Wsh Center depth becomes worst in the league so we can acquire a 2nd Line LW and take a death knell of a contract for essentially a lateral move at G? No Thanks.

I thought maybe a good goaltender would help you guys finally win a playoffs series...

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

We'll send you back Alzner to sweeten the deal

Carey Price already looked pretty poor in one Playoff Series against us. And so we're very clear, Holtby has won a lot more playoff series than has Carey Price.

 

[Benstheman]

Carey Price has already helped you guys lose at least one Playoff Series to us.

Yeah but we were lacking your great center depth...

 

[izzy]

Yikes

 

[StephenPeat]

So we want to become Mtl? I guess the rebuild is on.

I honestly wouldn't trade Orpik for Alzner today and I liked Karl.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Well apparently we never saw the real Alzner this year, our GM is predicting a big bounce back year for him, thinks he could be the next Chara...

FML

I was just looking why Orpik was even part of this deal (I know to add negative value but like how long is he still there lol)

Who in their right mind signed him 5.5 for 5 years LOL

I think Habs would have to add to Patch to get Backstrom LOL and more than Orpik lol 1 year and he's off

$10.5M for 8yrs that hasn't even started yet for a player who just had one of his worst statistical seasons of his career and that will be 31 when the contract does start. Woof.

Shhhhh I don't like to talk about it. Btw I believe Price will rebound but also don't like the contract, not with our current team.

And I can also say that 5.5 multi year for Alzner was crazy. You guys only have one more year of Orpik and during those 5 years washington was always excellent.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Yeah right

Where is the value in there for Backstrom? Patches does not have the same value of Backstrom.

 

[Lays]

Price is pretty bad in the playoffs and Patches becomes invisible. I take Backstrom+Holtby pretty easily in a playoff series over Price+Patches

 

[tgo0]

Haha this is beyond terrible for Washington.

 

[trick9]

Take out Backstrom and it's still no.

Terrible.

 

[rent free]

Fricken awful for Washington
