I love Max Pacioretty, but the Capitals loading up on yet another old, injured forward is just.... ugh.
What do you want the Capitals to load up for? To miss the Playoffs harder. It’s time to begin moving on. Fill out the roster with vets on cheap deals, don’t overpay in any trades, and tank without tanking. It is what it is, may as well accept it.I love Max Pacioretty, but the Capitals loading up on yet another old, injured forward is just.... ugh.
Why load up with vets? If you're moving on, let the kids play. Why are they blocking McM, Protas, and Lapierre with a guy coming off of two achilles injuries? Hell, they even gave him a full No Movement Clause, so its not like they're going to get value from Patches at the trade deadline. This deal is just utterly perplexing.What do you want the Capitals to load up for? To miss the Playoffs harder. It’s time to begin moving on.

He’s got a No Movement clause for one season after he missed a ton of time with an injury. That sounds just like last season for the Caps, might as well run it back. Given the age of the roster and the injury history the kids will have plenty of opportunity to play.Why load up with vets? If you're moving on, let the kids play.

Terrible day for Caps so far.
GMBM is thirsty it is sad at least the contract reflects the Capitals desperation right now.According to MacKenzie the bonus structure is $1 million if he plays 10 games, $500k if he plays 15 and another $500k if he plays 20. Which is hilarious.
Amazing deal if he can stay healthy. He's such a phenomenally underrated player, an excellent goal-scorer in his day, and still has the touch.
