Damn you’re quick lol

No Henrik likely was the catalyst to this. Interested to see the term, but likely not too expensive.

He's playing in net?!

No, talking about the Kempny and Henrik LTIR opening up space

Sheary's a decent depth scoring option who has shown stints of succeeding in a top-6 role. I imagine he pushes Sprong out of a lineup spot (ironically he did the same in Pittsburgh) and plays with Hagelin and Eller on the 3rd line. That's really not a bad line.

Now thats a great deal for Washington

 

[Vitto79]

Well he needed a job ... most UFAs are gonna have to sign this cheap

 

[Deen]

15-20 goal scorers are going for $735k now?

 

[Forge]

I really like that deal

 

[BonMorrison]

Caps had a big hole on their 3rd line so this seems alright.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Introducing, your.....
WASHINGTON CAPIGUINS!!!

 

[Empoleon8771]

Penguins fans are going to mock the Capitals for signing Sheary, when 2/3 of the Penguins 3rd line combined for fewer points than Sheary alone had last year

 

[Pia8988]

The Covid squeeze is going to be rough on the depth UFAs.

 

[BHD]

He hustles and has some scoring touch. His main weakness, and it’s a big one, is that he falls down - all the time. However, I can see him having a bounce back season.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

No, talking about the Kempny and Henrik LTIR opening up space

I think it’s more likely the Taxi Squad opens space and necessitates players like this. I think they probably make this move even with Lundqvist

 

[insanityfan92]

Caps obsessed with signing pens castoffs, they try so hard to copy everything the pens do

I think the team is pretty high on Sprong. Seems like he’ll get a decent shot to carve out a spot.

Dont they need a goalie? Not a hobbit that falls on his face 60 times a game.

3RW competition between Panik, Sheary, and Sprong now, with an outside chance at Connor McMichael shuffling the whole forward deck by forcing his way onto the team.

Their season was always going to depend on Samsonov performing. Vanecek and Copley should be fine as back-up options. None of the free agent goalies are particularly appealing, and they aren't going to clear cap space to acquire a bigger contract back-up.

For 735k what is not to like?
