[Sedinsquared]

Good trade for colorado

 

[Jtown]

now they have money to sign carlson

 

[PB12]

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Caps clearing up space to re-sign Carlson.

Quite the turnaround already for the cup champs with most of their coaching staff gone already and now two members of the team dealt.

 

[warrior67]

2 round pick for good backup and Dman?! That's pretty low

 

[DRW204]

good trade on both sides. COL has lots of cap space

 

[Aoko]

So much for Grubauer getting a first.

But they did unload Orpik.

 

[Kcb12345]

Assume this means that the Capitals will re-sign John Carlson.

 

[LordNeverLose]

But but but I thought Grubauer was for sure gonna get a top 20 pick

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Are you f***ing kidding me

 

[ClydeLee]

Now they have the space for Carlson, kempny, and Wilson

TBF that was assumed straight up, but they had to eat orpik's contract too

For real, way too many people overrating Grubauer in the trade forum prior to this.

 

[sufferer]

I like this for Colorado.

 

[boredmale]

as and Islander fan thank god Colorado(although nice trade for Colorado, 47th isn't the 12th). good use of cap space

 

[JT Kreider]

Carlson extension incoming

 

[Fjordy]

Wow :Попкорн:

Lower value because we unloaded Brooks Orpik as well.
