@CapitalsPR: #Caps have claimed 6-4 215 defenseman Alexander Urbom off waivers from the New Jersey Devils.
Devils fans seem mildly upset with the claim.
Sweet.
I've seen him play a lot. He is big, mobile and has shown some offensive skill. Definitely has upside...has been developed carefully by the Devils, definitely hurts to lose a guy like this for nothing.
Could def be a 2nd pairing guy in a few years, you guys should be very happy.
His skating is pretty good. I don't have a good enough read on his hockey sense and positioning, though. But, yeah, in terms of physical attributes this is pretty much exactly what they needed more of.The only thing I care about...can he skate?

Alexander Urbom will report to the #Caps, according to a team spokesman. No word on the corresponding move.
Something big has to be coming, his cap hit is 869k.

~300k are potential perf bonuses, though, so it's close to the league minimum aside from them.Something big has to be coming, his cap hit is 869k.

another trade in the works?
wonder who is going to make room from Urbom
All I gotta say about the move is its another person in front of Orlov which is bad.
McPhee made a bad signing and won't take out Erskine because it would require admitting it.
