Giving up a mid-first round pick, a second round pick, and a player who had similar point totals to the one you got to save a few million for your aging team is not what I would say is a fix.
Your right vrana was soooo much better and would have fixed this. Get lost with this crap

Firing BM is a terrible idea. I trust him to correct things. This team’s window wound have ended much earlier with McPhee, he kept the team competitive. Age and injuries caught up with us, I respect him going for it.

If Forsythe is still the PP coach next season I will question the competence of BM and Laviolette.

I don't want to give up on the team, but as far as I'm concerned this series is over. They've shown us nothing to make us think they can come back from 3-1 down.

Let’s be honest. GMBM took a roster that McPhee built and made some tweaks. He gets way too much credit. Meanwhile McPhee builds a roster from nothing and takes an expansion team to the finals in the first year and has them looking like a real contender again.
How many cups does McPhee have? How many did he screw up with awful TDL moves?

Eh, Vegas had help. No other expansion team ever got those perks. That said he put his stamp on the Vegas team.

Lack of speed? They're just being outplayed, and outmuscled. The PP stinks. It's not like they've been crushing us on breakaway after breakaway.

Yea sorry no bud... this team lacks speed.. speed they had and a stupid GM gave away for nothing.

Outplayed and outmuscled is a thing of the past, Just watch the players at the blue line.. when boston is in our zone, they're the first ones back to their zone... the other way, we're the last ones back.

That's even with 2 of our D players playing as far back as they can.

Watch any other NHL series and look at the speed of those games and then watch the caps..

Yep, never give up while their is life. Boston has history of screwing things up just like our Caps. Problem is can the Caps brain dump all this crap over last two games.

I am 1000% on board with trading Kuzy. Even if we don’t get fair trade value, I think it will be be to our benefit.

I didn't say we're fast. But we have a style that makes us good and we're not playing it. We're being beaten at our own game.

Vrana's speed hasn't done shit for years. Stop pining for it. He's gone. Move on.

LMFAO you can’t be serious with this right? McPhee wasted so many Ovechkin and Backstrom prime years by assembling some of the shittiest defensive units and trading or signing for borderline 2Cs. How many drinks have you had?

That Mantha/Vrana trade looks horrible at this point. Anyone defending it still is in denial. BUT, that's not why the Caps are losing. It's time to get younger and faster.

But we need to outmuscle the other team.... /sarcasm
