Great trade. So long, Brooks.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Holy **** he dumped Laich

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Bye Brooks and Connor.

 

[Langway]

Drink!

Where are the GMBM doubters??

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Whats the word on Winnik? Is he a good pickup, or is GMBM still a scared *****?

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Winnik is a decent player. Well done GMBM!

 

[Holtbyisms]

**** yes

4 goals, 14 pts this season. Serviceable bottom 6 player. We save $2.25M on this deal, which means there might be more to come tomorrow.

What's his cap hit?

Whats the word on Winnik? Is he a good pickup, or is GMBM still a scared little girl...

He's an overpaid fourth-line grinder type PKer. It doesn't really help next year's cap much but I guess they could buy him out at a cheaper rate. He's likely better offensively than Laich but he's nowhere close to Chimera for instance and shouldn't crack the top nine.

Yay woo!

Nice!

Sounds good. Guess that means Eklund was wrong about Downie to the Caps. Thank God.

Not bad.

 

[PB12]

One more move or is that it?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

No salary retained.

Winnik is a great bottom sixer. Gives it 110% every game. Last year during our insane collapse he was one of the few who actually appeared to be trying.
