Confirmed with Link: orpik and grubauer to colorado for second round pick

[BiPolar Caps]

33 is detroit. 42 is carolina

Didn't realize that, changes my position on the matter then.

 

[RandyHolt]

Wow BMac was quicker to sell than even I thought, and of course crashed HF proper.

I thought both Orp and Grub could have fetched 2nd rounders. I pegged a 2nd as my Oprik TDL value and figured it was close to the same now. Maybe it wasn't just Orpik negative value, we may also have once again overvalued Grubby a tad. BMac simply paid a premium for an injection of much needed cap space.

Anyways, I am happy with the cap space and mini youth movement . We are deep at LD anyways.

Good luck with that goaltending Lou

 

[Roughing]

Great move. Mac again doing what so many of us wanted. Bring back the whole band now for Reirden. Love it.

Added the huge Dman tonight and now have two nice picks tomorrow for Forwards, too.

One thing I might consider... move Burt out if it creates enough room for JVR or Kane. Always wanted JVR.

2.5m for Beagle is insane. Other than that, looks okay.

1.5 for Orpik next year would be sensational

lets go Avs !

 

[Ridley Simon]

He’s so coming back. Orpik at 1m? You know it. He’s still getting his 4.5m either way.

I could see a 2yr deal for 2.5m total (1.25m/yr). Then retire and help coach the kids in Hershey before moving up to DC.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

2.5m for Beagle is insane. Other than that, looks okay.

It's 750 K more than what he was making. Dominant on the pk and at face-off, one of the backbone players for this team (only hockey player who has won the Kelly Cup, Calder Cup and the Stanley Cup). Reliant fourth line player who's work ethic is bar none.

 

[RandyHolt]

Who isn't happy - youth movement fans - and all the kids hoping for roster spots next year. But we have a chance to repeat, so sorry kiddos. If Lucas or Siggy aren't ready, we may need to ink both Kemps and Jerabek.

I am open to adding back Orpik at the deadline and eventually a D coach.

Wasn't it you that wanted the Caps to acquire Mike Hoffman.

Wasn't it you that wanted the Caps to acquire Mike Hoffman.

I said they should get him if the ask was low.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I'll miss Grubi. Good guy that guy is. But I'm glad he's going to a team which I don't hate.
I'll miss Orpik's hits.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Great news.

If that's not an argument to quiet the doubters once and for all, I don't know what is. Finally, a chance to secure the services of a certified purebred triple-proven winning Beagle.

A winner, great ethic, intangible backbone, loved by Trotz, respected by all, bottom line PK workhorse. Sounds to me like he's right on track to follow Orpik's career path!

 

[BiPolar Caps]

I said they should get him if the ask was low.

Patrick O'Sullivan on XM said that no one on the Senators liked Hoffman and that he had spoken to some players who actually told O'Sullivan that they would have no problem if he identified them on air. Hoffman may have skill, but he's a team cancer.

 

[g00n]

Great news.

And you guys, TAKE SOME MORE LESSONS!

(promptly sound suspiciously, exactly like "Earth, Wind, and Fire")

 

[RandyHolt]

Can you make a bull shot? Can you make a shoe smell? Helluva grab the bull by the horns move tonight. Brian pounced on that space 2 birds with 1 stone before HF webmasters knew what hit them, and now just has to seal the deal. Just tap it in. Tappy tap. I am now thinking he signs for 8.25. Yeah baby!

 

[Bananas]

Man I gotta head over to The Crow Buffet and post my GMBM smack talk.

The guy is a genius legend.

 

[Acallabeth]

Nice move, thank the guys for the memories and their contributions. Now if Carlson really signs for 7.5...

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Evidently a 3 x 3 contract may be in the works for Gruby out in Colorado.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

What a move. 12OA would have been nice but a 2nd rounder for Grubi plus $5.5mm in cap space? See you in September on that vet minimum, Brooksie! Great stuff.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

GMBM rules!
