I actually think this trade is going to work out really well for us.
Just a reminder that this is the same price the Caps paid for Mike frickin' Weber not so long ago. There's pretty much no downside here.

Yeah, but they still can? This doesn’t change the sal cap dynamics at all?I would have rather went for Pageau or heck Athansiou would have been better in my mind.
This a nothing move for a guy with a big name. The positive, it cost them nothing.
Oh, I’m here brother.Paging @Ridley Simon who had his wish granted tonight.
There's also potential in the room for this to be very good for 8/92. Fedorov-esque for Kuznetsov maybe. Ovechkin doesn't need that but gunning for a Cup with him could nonetheless give him a small extra edge.
we basically are replacing Leipsic for Kovalchuk - and that’s a huge upgrade.
Not really
Putting this in perspective, GMBM effectively used The Montreal Canadiens as a farm team that absorbed the cap hit while he was there, on a due diligence try out for the Caps, and paid them a 3rd for the service. Slick AF.
Agree this may also get back the grounding and influence that Orpik had on him. I expect the Caps try super hard factor just went up some.
Oh please.
huge eye roll.
we will miss Leipsic’s zero points in the last 15 whatever games.
You don’t like the deal, or you just don’t think it makes much of a difference? I’m intrigued to see Kovy next to Eller. But i must admit i was baffled/lukewarm when i first heard of the deal. Didn’t seem to fill a glaring need (though of course secondary scoring always a need). My questions are, just how slow is his allegedly slow skating; does he play sound 2-way game; and doesn’t he play same spot as Ovie on PP?Not really
Some people enjoy sticking to their narratives more than they enjoy reality, what can you do but laugh
Kovalchuk will not be acquired
Kovalchuk is not better than Brandon Leipsic
>>> you are here <<<
Kovalchuk will not play on the anemic PP
Kovalchuk will not positively rub off on Kuzy
Kovalchuk will not point at Crosby as he scores the series clinching goal
Kovalchuk will not raise a cup
Oh please.
