Expressing rage and dismay before the thread merger.
Same. Not sure why they would re-sign him at all other than for depth. But we could use some actual STARTERS and not depth.
It doesn't look like McPhee is confident in this season at all. Almost looks like a "hey let's plug in guys until Forsberg/other players get here"
The best player we picked up is probably Wolski.
600 K for a player who has scored 21 goals, had a great stint in Finland following a rough season with the Jets where he was coming back from major surgery, knows the Caps and is only 27 yrs old.
I don't see the problem.....let alone why people are already saying McPhee doesnt care about this season, seriously......
It's like dating that girlfriend who wasn't all that great but now she is desperate.
Fehr is a great guy, don't get me wrong, and alot of people will be happy he is back. He is a solid guy. He is a pure depth player though. They reached out for a guy like Ribeiro which worked and got a guy like Wolski but we need some actual starters to fill out the roster.
No its not. Its not even close.
Fehr is a player with shoulder injuries that have hurt him the past few years, he went to Finland which is a very physical league and did just fine.

I understand that but he's wildly inconsistent at best.
He's a good depth player but we'll see how he does when he's plugged in. He's no where close to a starter, which is what we need right now.
That is all him and I were saying.

I imagine soon if Fehr is doing good, people will be whining on other team boards about how their stupid GM didn't sign Fehr to such a cheap deal. Caps fans were doing it in regards to Sykora last year.
Fehr was finally healthy when he went to Finland and played great.....I don't see how you pass up signing him to a 1 yr deal for 600K
The Caps need some scoring depth with a short season
Exactly.....I have more faith in Fehr surprising people than I do in Wolski, but either way....to get both those players for 600k each is a steal, even if its just for depth.
This is the same guy who wanted Jay Beagle off the team just a little while ago. I don't think he understands the concepts of salaries and the salary cap.
Again read what I JUST posted.
No need to bring past history into this to make me look like I have no idea what i'm talking.
Fehr is a depth forward, many fans myself included are frustrated at our lower lines.
You're worried about our lower lines? And you want Beagle gone.....makes no sense.
this is a typical mcphee dumpster dive. think morrison a couple years ago. fehr is either going to do something with his last chance which makes his contract a steal or he will fail and the money spent on him at the league minimum or there abouts. its a free shot.
personally, i dont expect much, but its as cheap a shot as you get to take. if one of wolski or fehr works out, the caps will be fine. in this case with laich going to miss some time off the bat, both should get a chance to show something. i dont know why anyone would complain about this.
i am clearly not a fehr fan, but still.
Totally gonna be steal of the year. Right-handed sniper Ribeiro needs to play with. People were crapping on Devils signing Sykora, Carolina trading for Jokinen, Buffalo getting Sulzer, Islanders getting Moulson, etc. You get ahead by buying low on players with potential and having them pan out. There's a reason we took him ahead of Getzlaf, people. A bit early to give up on him now.
I can see him lighting it up on a line with Backstrom and Ribeiro and getting around 20g/15a, which may not seem like much but remember we only have 48 games this season.
We only have 2 centers and we're using them on the same line?
a player that is not qualified, sits on the free agent market, and is signed at or barely above the league minimum is a dumpster dive.
