To be fair, Ryan Reaves and a 2nd was worth that.Should mean Wingels and Franson can net at least a 3rd
Then maybe a 4th for Bouma?
And then Anisimov probably moves at the draft since his NMC becomes a NTC. Maybe he can net a late 1st round pick? Ryan Reeves was apparently worth that.
Your average bottom paring d-man.I see he is +13 on a very bad Chicago team. Even if I don't care about +/- generally
What kind of player he is?
Q completely mis-used him. He carried Seabrook to a positive corsi so take that for what it is worth. Think of an ant carrying the Titanic up Mt Everest for a similar comparison.
Well Kempny has 81 games played. So he's not much more than a rookie, in the experience department.Can we get the obligatory post on what's the percentage of a late 3rd becoming am NHL regular? It's probably like 2-3%.
Now what's the % the Caps don't want to go into the playoffs with 2 rookie dman in their d pairings?
Because Q forms an instant opinion and it never changes. He falls in love with plugs and hates random serviceable guys.
Another odd move by Washington. Couple years ago they gave up a 3rd for a plug D from Buffalo that they didnt use, cant remember his name.
Kempny couldnt even play on a crummy chicago team, very surprised he got a 3rd round pick for a 27 yr old.
Gives me hope that Hutton would be able to get the same type of pick if we chose to trade him
The issue wasn't that they didn't use Mike Weber, the issue was they did use Mike Weber.Another odd move by Washington. Couple years ago they gave up a 3rd for a plug D from Buffalo that they didnt use, cant remember his name.

He should definitely play over Orpik. You guys are going to be very surprised how good he is. He's been, at worst, our 3rd best defender over the last 2 years.Pretty great numbers in a bottom pairing role. Not easy to carry Seabrook these days.
If he takes Orpik out of the lineup it's a huge net positive for the Caps.
Who wants Manning?!
So what you're saying is that lobsters could lead to the death of millions of people?
I think it’s official, the Caps won this trade.
One of, if not, the best, deadline deal we have ever made. How in the world did he slip through the cracks in Chicago?
The Caps would not be in the Conference finals without Kempny.

Joel Quenneville refused to play him.
