Please don't rush him to the NHL.

I assume he'll get a fair amount of time in Hershey next year. No need for him to be riding the bench in DC.

 

[TheFountainhead]

Very excited about having him on this side of the Atlantic. He's going to be a stud for us down the line.

 

[Capsman]

I wonder if this was a good time to announce his signing though. Any chance it has an effect on Holtby?

If this has an affect on Holtby then the Caps are screwed.

 

[RandyHolt]

Poor timing, I would agree.

Regardless, welcome abroad.

Aboard. A board.

I'm bored.

Grubauer to Buffalo at the draft for the Sabres 2018 2nd round pick which will be the first pick of the second round or #32. Back up for Holtby next season will be between Copley and Vanacek.

Somewhat avoids the first round discussion regarding Grubauer's value/worth, but not by much.

We may be screwed already. Bentman's dropped the big one.

Over? Did you say... over? Nothing is over until we decide it is.

Seriously these advatar theme ideas practically create themselves.

All, after the fact. The Caps are Delta. Every spring, the toilets explode.

Here are your corsi averages. Mr. Vrana: two C's, two D's, and an F. That's a 1.2. Congratulations, Jakub. You're at the top of the Caps pledge class. Mr. Wilson? Hello! 0.2... Fast, truckin', and suspended is no way to go through life, son. Mr. Ovechkin, captain of Delta house? 1.6; four C's and an F. A fine example you set! Daniel Smith-Pelly... HAS no grade point average. All courses incomplete. Mr. Orpik... 0.0

No on Holtby. Often these contracts are announced far after they are signed and on the inside the situation is widely known. So, very likely this is not news to Holtby

Literally laughing out loud at work. Well done, sir.

Crosby: [shouts across the rink] how's it feel to be eliminated again, Ovechkin?
Ovechkin: [skating off quietly, speaking to Backstrom] how's it feel to be an asshole, Crosby?
Crosby: [smug grin, murmuring under his breath to Malkin] ...what did he say?

Hilarious post yourself! I thought about that scene....

Gersich: I hope I score. Oh boy, oh boy!

I still wish this guy wasn’t a goalie....hope his play makes me change my mind on his selection.

I read that as us moving Grubauer this summer, rolling with Holtby-Vanecek/Copley for the first part of the season and then likely seeing Samsonov get his call up by January.

Think of it as an investment for our next Marty Erat.

 

[Sam Spade]

Great news and he said all the right things in that posted interview.

I hate you right now....

On this, the day of our potential advancement to the third round, you bring me this?

He should be in Hershey for a couple years

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

At most a year...but I could see him in DC immediately.
