I don't think so. It's not Dreger's job to do PR for the Capitals.
We'll see but I think it's gonna be a 3x3 deal.
Brendan smith part 2
hopefully he doesn't become anus like smith. and hopefully they don't pay him as much as ny paid smith.
Two mediocre-at-best dmen on their old teams who get traded to teams and have phenomenal playoff runs then get paid. Hopefully Kempny isn’t a flash in the pan like Smith was. If he was then he’s about to get very overpaid.And what is the comparison between the two that you see in your opinion?
Uh what? Kempny is likely getting a deal in the 3x3 range. Hardly crippling for a mobile 4/5 defenseman.Brendan smith part 2

I mean yeah but he never showed in Chicago what he showed in his Washington stintSmith had four years of history with the Wings, Kempny came over in '16-'17 and played 80 games with the Hawks. No one really knows how good or bad Kempny is yet.
Kempny struggled a bit when he first came here but the defensive coach helped him get some confidence and he played great ever since. Don't think they win the cup without him.Kempny is not Brendan Smith. Guy can really play and had really good underlying numbers in Chicago but Q hated him for some reason. Can skate like the wind, has a heavy shot, decent outlet pass, and can be pretty physical. If its near 3x4 or 4x3, its a solid deal for Caps.
Q hated Daley before he was sent off to Pittsburgh and they won multiple cups with him playing decent minutes.
So, enjoy cup number two, Caps fans.
The Reirden effect.I mean yeah but he never showed in Chicago what he showed in his Washington stint
