Still watching the scrimmage streamed :D

Samson will be more than just fine.

Not a terrible idea at all!

He's also a headache from what most Caps boards/fans have said. He's enigmatic and while he might play motivated this season, I don't even want him to tamper with the development of the young guys. If you want to add another top 6 forward, I'm all about Stewart or Glencross.

I'd rather bring back Stewart. He makes more sense for the team build.

Sweet, and we get to see Eichel in development camp this week. I might be going Tuesday.

Ennis-O'Reilly-Kane Moulson-Eichel-Stewart McGinn-Girgensons-Gionta Foligno-Larsson-Deslauriers How I would view it with Stewart included.

I'd be so in on Franson. Regardless of his right-handedness.

I still see a spot in the top 6. Legwand doesn't fit on the wing. Gionta is a third line RW. I could easily see Stewart here. But, that's me. They still need a defensemen. Colaiacovo is not the answer. He's a complete scrub.

Honestly, he's terrible. He's no better than Benoit from last season. If this is the defensemen to fit in the top six, we might a well bring back Andrej Meszaros.

We'll take Bickell if you're shipping us Ville Pokka. He'd be a nice guy to replace Zadorov in our system. He had a great first year in the AHL.

I honestly cannot fault their GM. He's rebuilding that porous team. They're a joke. Kassian had a horrible work ethic and supposedly was too eager to voice his opinion on things. Half their defense group is 30+, Kesler insisted on a trade where he couldn't get what he would have. Benning has done a really good job, as has Dejardins. They're expecting more than what they should, with the state of that team. Burrows, Bieksa and other issues there.

w/e. This team going forward is fine! We'll add some more youth as we go forward.

Anisimov though I'm not a fan will be a huge hole to fill. They have Wennberg up, but he's going to still be a season or two more away from being a complete second/third line player. Dano had 21 points in 30 games, and was just starting to blossom into a quality C/LW. Saad was a great trade for them, but they gave up a lot of value.

I love Brodziak at that cost. Great addition to any team for under a mil. For faceoff's alone. He's a much better player than McCormick is. How did that bum get 3 years of term.

It's all good, I'm just excited to get it done!

Any news on O'Reilly extension?

There is 0 chance Ehrhoff is coming back. That makes about as much sense as calling Miro Satan to have him tryout in the top 6.

Stewart on a lower term 2 year deal!

They added Hamilton, Kylingon and Andersson. They added young quality depth. They still have Russell to resign as well. As with you that kind of investment makes 0 sense.

They still need defensemen. Oshie improves their two way play for sure, but I still think they need a defensemen or two.

He supposedly asked for 9M. I love Giordano, but god for 9M at 31, that's just gross. It's one thing with a 23-24 year old PK Subban. But, Giordano has an injury history and while he is as important to their future success in the near future as Sean Monahan, his cap hit will limit their ability to resign Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett, and possibly guys like Bouma resigned.

Such a better fit than another year of Emery and his b/s.

Honestly it was his only realistic option. I mean yeah he could have gone back to school, but there's the ability to live out your dream and get paid to do it right there in your reach.

Arizona has been a joke of a market for a long time. Albeit for their Mike Smith standing on his head tour to the WCF, they've been a tire fire the entire time otherwise.
