What a mess this was

[MacDaddy TLC*]

The Capitals draft:

First, the Caps selected left wing Tim Kennedy in the sixth round (181st overall)--in front of Buffalo--and promptly traded him to the Sabres for a sixth-round draft pick in 2006. Then, Washington added Russian defenseman Viktor Dovgan in Round 7 (209th), only to have the NHL declare the selection invalid. While the club apparently has evidence to prove Dovgan is in fact older than advertised--and subsequently eligible--the matter is likely headed to arbitration. The club should have avoided this mess.

Question: did you like the trade for the #27.

Taking a flyer on that 7th rounder is going to kill the #1 ranked farm system.

The trade of Kennedy was interesting . . ... McPhee is really stock piling those 2006 draft picks.

I didn't realize Kennedy was traded.

I thought I read in Vogel's piece that Dovgan was declared eligible.

Its almost as if he knew what Buffalo wanted.... How close were their tables?
