Did we really expect to do anything? I know I didn't expect anything drastic at this point unless a trade was to be made

I'm bored, so here's what a few minutes on google turns up about these guys.
Christian Thomas - 24 year old drafted 40th overall by the Rangers in 2010. Small, speedy winger with a 10-11-21 line in 34 AHL games and 3 points in 27 NHL games.
Darren Dietz - 22 year old drafted in the 5th round by the Canadiens in 2011. Supposedly a PMD, but only put up 16 points in 61 AHL games last season. Had 5 points in 13 games with the Habs this year.
Joe Cannata - 26 year old drafted in the 6th round in 2009. Posted a 2.52 GAA and a .909 sv% in 40 games in the AHL last season.

I would call them average AHL moves. They definitely aren't moves that put Hershey in a position they normally are in. I know there's lots of time left but those moves aren't going to cut it

Nothing really interesting this UFA and I'm fine with what the Caps did. The Devils really have improved and still can't believe they got Hall. As a Oilers fan too, I'm going to miss him on that team. I have supported Chimera from his rookie season and just hope he doesn't turn it up against us with the Isles. I hate seeing former players play for rival teams. The defense needs work still.

It seems like Russell is holding up the secondary D market and the eventual trade market for D.
I'm a bit surprised they went with Cannata with the likes of Scrivens, Lindback, Aittokallio and Leighton still available. The Dietz signing is decent enough and I take it he'll replace Burgdoerfer. Hershey could use a quality center for sure.
Forward options are quickly dwindling. Top nine options include: Hudler, Cullen, Versteeg, Tanguay, Gagner, Parenteau, Elias and Vrbata. Depth/PKer vets include Moore, Gaustad, Korpikoski and Kelly. Connolly likely makes Pirri a redundant option. Hard to say if they'd dip into the depth D pool or not. There might be some value there, though.

I'm not a betting man but since there are a lot of depth forwards left, I think they can afford to wait for prices to come down since there are a lot. Of course they can be burned by that gamble too

It only looks like a steal because Boedker's overrated. His points come from being force-fed first line minutes and PP time. That's a fair deal, maybe a slight overpay for a one dimensional winger who should probably be on a 3rd line.

Who other than Justin Williams did the Caps sign at this time last year?
GMBM made just as big a splash if not bigger when he made the Oshie trade, which came out of no where. He still has time.

Maybe. it didnt work out that way. Orpik didnt start the season because of the injury rehab. Chorney played the first few games and Stanton was sent to Hershey thru waivers before the season started.

Sounds like he is gonna have a bidding war. Caps need to wait for his price to come down

I think people thought Stanton would win the 7 spot based on him being Vancouver's 6 the year before, but Chorney got a 1-way contract while Stanton settled for a 2-way, so the Caps probably saw Chorney as the 7.

Just a tad over 8 mil left in the cupboard and they still need to sign MOJO and Orlov. Projecting MOJO tops out at 4.5 and Orlov at 2.5 will leave 1 for Versteeg. Not sure that will do it.
