Still can't believe we got 2 2nd round picks for him !!
And spent those picks to add a bottom-6 forward with a brutal contract.
Congratulations.

Nice they only have a window of 2 years now, I like the way this team is heading. Straight to bottom.
"Great deal" posters...you do realize this is a basic bridge deal, right? See: Stepan, Derek. Or Johansen, Ryan. Or Couture, Logan.
It's pretty common as it allows the team to save on the deal for 2-3 years, but they typically end up paying more over the next 5-6 years if the player progresses even more. See: Subban, P.K.
The Caps HAD to do this because of all of the other ridiculous contracts they have on the books right now. With 10 F, 5 D, and 1 G, they only have $5.6m in cap space to fill the rest of their roster. They basically have 1.5 D pairs right now because Chorney and Orpik are 2 of those 5 D already signed. Gonna be a lot of rookies playing for Washington this season.
Well I know Mia Khalifa is somewhere smiling.
I for one am thrilled.
Seriously I went from a Caps fan who wasn't going to watch a regular season game to a Caps fan who can't wait to see how the kids fit in.
Lol why? What's the story with that?
