Confirmed with Link: [PHX/WSH] Erat & JMitchell for Klesla, Brown & 4th '15

[EroCaps]

Klesla is not the solution on D.

Erat being gone just puts the icing on a historically bad deal.

 

[strungout]

So it is John or Garrett?

Phoenix trades Rostislav Klesla, a prospect and 4th round pick to Washington for Martin Erat and Garrett Mitchell.

Has it as Garrett. Probably won't know for sure until Caps make it official.

 

[SimplySensational]

Its John.

Renaud Lavoie @LavoieRenaud
John Mitchell et non Garrett.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Its John.

Yep.

Mike Vogel ‏@VogsCaps 59s
John Mitchell. Not Garrett. Anyone saying otherwise is mistaken. #Caps

 

[strungout]

Ok good.

Plenty of space now.

Very excited about Chris Brown. Tremendous prospect. Was with Phx when team drafted him. 29 Gs last yr in his rookie yr with Portland (AHL)

Katie Carrera ‏@kcarrera 1m
Interesting that both Klesla and Brown will report to Hershey. #Caps

Not exactly sure what she means by that...

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Sounds like Coyotes fans think Brown has some decent potential as a 3rd liner.

 

[capitalsrock]

2 good trades by GMGM in one day

 

[capitalsrock]

Here's that scorer that Hershey fans have been wanting hopefully...

 

[hb12xchamps]

Excited for Brown. Sounds like he could develop into a decent player.

 

[amjay13]

This is the best we could have hoped given the bad Erat situation. They get a capable #4 dman and a prospect. No Klesla isn't what he once was but he's an upgrade for this team.

 

[Langway]

Apparently Chris Brown is good?

He's not bad. He's a RW, though, and it's crowded enough as it is. Better than Volpatti and someone that can play a physical bottom six game.

@JChaimo: Chris Brown: 14-21-35 in 51 games for Portland this year. Led all @TheAHL rookies with 29 goals last season. #Capitals

So IINM this allows them to take on roughly a net $1.9M cap hit should they not be done.

 

[msrulo]

Cool, we got a decent prospect for a drawback.

 

[Marshall]

Meh. Brown sounds a bit interesting. Caps have what, @ $3 mil in cap space now?

Ed - I'm way off. @ $1.8, according to the geek of caps.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Current RW in Hershey are Segal, Wellman (also plays C), Rechlicz, Gazely, and Galiev

 

[Brian23]

I'm curious if the rumor of us sniffing around Halak and dangling Nuevy are correct. Not sure why we'd want Halak but I am interested in a return on Nuevy.

 

[KevinM]

Was John Mitchell supposed to be any good?

Who knows. She's not very good with polysyllabic words like "interesting."

 

[hb12xchamps]

No. Healthy scratch in Hershey and at risk to being sent to the ECHL

Just enough to pick up Corvo?

This is what I assumed lol
