Why wouldn’t it be?Is this significant to warrant a thread?
oofGive up a 5th round pick, lose Nathan Walker (who cost 3 picks when he was a camp invite and could have been signed for 0) then lose him. Stellar asset management as always from the caps organization.
Whatever people say this kind of sloppiness and inefficiency prevalent in almost EVERY deal or move they make is the main reason they'll never win the cup.

However, due to an overlooked rule, the Capitals were unable to sign Walker; as he had started the 2012–13 season in Europe and then moved to North America, and was under 20 years old, he would have to enter the 2014 NHL Entry Draft before being allowed to sign an NHL contract.[17] Instead, on 24 September Walker signed a contract with the Capitals' American Hockey League affiliate, the Hershey Bears.[18] He made his debut for the Bears on 5 October 2013 against the Adirondack Phantoms, becoming the first Australian to play in the AHL.

Caps gave up a 5th for a fringe NHL'er, and he's not lighting the world on fire (never mind they added him specifically for the expansion draft, so that they had enough available players to offer VGK...meaning protect Eller, MaJo, etc). I guess 5th rounders are the new 2nd rounder? Lots of top notch talent the Caps missed out on?
And you of course have the Walker saga completely wrong. He was from Europe, so they could NOT sign him to an NHL contract (but why blow your narrative on a fact??)...and they traded 2 picks to move up to get him (2 4th's for a 3rd....GASP, what terrible management!!!). So not sure where the 3 picks cost comes from.
That was all FOUR years ago. The player didnt pan out for them, so he's gone. It must be the first time in the history of the NHL that a 3rd pick didnt make the big team after 4 whole years.
Yeah, you got it right. Those 2 situations really speak to the total ineptitude of Caps management. Youve shown me the light brother!!! I'm gonna grab the torches and pitchforks and storm the management castle!!!!!
LOL. You boob.
Ever time I see his name I think that it's a brand of vacuum cleaner...
Or cheap batteries.

Ironically, he needs a revelation of some sorts. (His username is Revelation.)
He/she is obviously one of the better posters on our Caps board. If we could add "Followers" to the new site, he/she would have at least....one?
