Kind of odd for Jagr to end up in Florida, thought he wanted to go to a Eastern Cup contender? Florida may not even make it in.

Taxes ....

A lot of older folk wind up in Florida.

That Jagr trade makes zero sense.

I am dumbfounded as well.

 

[Capitals40]

I voted but felt dirty doing it. I'm not ready to give up on MoJo he is too young...I know I'm in the minority...as in maybe the only one. The way I see it we are not winning the Cup this year so don't trade good young skaters. I'd trade Wilson, Chimera, mid round draft pick...can't trade Laich with that contract.

 

[SDBondra]

I feel like Johansson is OK but that he eats a roster spot. Is it better to trade him now or wait for someone to potentially sign him to an offer sheet? Offer sheets don't see to happen anymore but that route might net us a better return. I think we'd get a first and a third round pick. Somebody's got to be dumb enough to offer sheet him, right?

Patrick Sharp getting the Dez Bryant treatment...buy low!

 

[Brian23]

If he still wouldn't cost a first and a good prospect (if not more), I'd be all about it but at some point a 33+ year old is going to hit the wall and I'd rather not pay a premium for that.

Did Jagr have a NMC? Nice return. I actually like that move for both teams.

Green return would be even better.

Maybe Chicago would like to have Stanley Cup Winning Right Wing Troy Brouwer come back home as a part of the deal?

 

[NoMoreChoking]

Gah I want to see what we are gonna do already!!!11

I love this time of year

 

[ChibiPooky]

Considering the deadline isn't til Monday....I'll still be snoozing as well.

No one moved to this point is a missed opportunity for the Caps.

I really wanted Winnik.

You forgot Leader of Men.

 

[SDBondra]

You forgot Leader of Men.

It doesn't even need to be spoken at this point.

I really like Brouwer actually but getting Sharp would be a massive upgrade.

This is actually an unsubstantiated rumor created by NFL TV analyst David Diehl. Puck Daddy is simply running with it and saying "hey, this might be true" - we've been instructed to treat it as any other unsubstantiated rumor until otherwise notified.

That is a steep price for a team that's going to miss the playoffs. Weird trade.

Hence my Dez Bryant comment. This thing reeks of BS.

They are two points out. They have 20 games left. This makes the stretch run much more exciting for Florida.

It was a steep price, but they have a good chance at making the playoffs.

 

[FloridaCap]

You forgot Leader of Men.

and Team Spokesman.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Jagr joined the NHL before his current team

 

[Raikkonen]

They want to get in and get some revenue probably.

Good that we aren't the ones who did that.

Some of us prefer to believe everything we read, thank you very much.

 

[RandyHolt]

What cap hit could we afford now, if we moved no one out, and no other moves like waiving players, injured etc.

 

[fedfed]

Actually, I expected a higher price tag on Jagr after seeing what Sekera went for.

Could make sense as a cap dump in the summer, but it's hard to see that happening in season. All the chatter has been that the Hawks are adding, so if the problems are so bad that they'd dump him before a cup run, things must be really bad.
