Now I’m super confused...

 

[Corby78]

But why? A 28 year old who has never played himself into a starting job???

maybe we are working on a multi player deal?

 

[hb12xchamps]

It’s a minimum salary one way. Don’t think too many teams claim him unless they’re decimated by injuries.

If the plan is to keep him in DC, it pretty much means one of Jensen/Siegs is gone. Also seems to further support the idea of Fehervary playing in Hershey for most of the year

I feel like there is a new sheriff in town telling BMac which Dmen he wants. Caps forever have been a team to go for stick on boards pairs but we are flat our hording R twigs of late.

 

[Marshall]

The contract can be fully buried in the A with no effect on the cap. Maybe he was in demand and the Caps had to give him a one-way to seal the deal.

 

[Corby78]

Whatever their plan is as long as he doesn’t see ice in a caps sweater outside a preseason game.

When is the trade announced?

 

[Langway]

I think this just might be a Lewington replacement. Whether that means the #7 or first call-up remains to be seen. The addition of Schilling also makes me wonder if they may be up to something more than just dumping salary.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I think what is being lost in this is that LaDue is a decent hockey player. Good size and great mobility. He can play in the NHL in a pinch and not look out of place.
