BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Williams I love because he knows playoff victories. Oshie I was mixed on. I may warm up later but as of this point he and Brouwer are pretty much the same age, and Brouwer put up goals more regularly in the regular season as indicated by the prior statistic. I'm not totally pissed off though. I hope I can see more production from Oshie here...hey I thought Orpik was too old and I hated the move but he came in here and did pretty good for himself. So we'll see on Oshie. Not sure if you're aware but overall points are a much better barometer of a good player Look at Brouwer's then compare it to Oshie Brouwer never got to 50 points in his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Great moves this offseason so far. Our team is definitely better as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I will give GMBM credit in that he isn't afraid to shake things up. That has been missing the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 He's not good enough to be a 1RW. He's a solid 2. Hope more moves are coming Yep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I could NOT LOVE THIS TRADE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW drafting the goalie makes sense. This guy GMBM is a baller Literally just logged into facebook and saw this post from the Caps. I'm SOOOOOOOOO ****ing happy right now bro THIS!!!!! GMBM had a plan all along... Our top-6 is going to be insane. This is a ****ing complete team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 IX - This is the comparison between Oshie and Brouwer. As we are all trying to tell you. There is none. https://twitter.com/MimicoHero/status/616717244052078594/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 In his tenure, I think GMBM has earned the right to NEVER be compared to GMGM again. He's doing his job exceptionally well and putting the pieces together to hopefully make a contender. From top to bottom (at least on paper), there are no real weaknesses outside of finding a 3C.

pjfootballer Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Not a splashy move, but first Williams and now Oshie. Not bad. I'll still have my doubts until they win it all, but GMBM is at least aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Brouwer was an anchor to whoever he was playing with. Oshie is superior in just about every aspect of hockey. There is nothing not to love about this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btfoom Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 .... Oshie had 19 goals in only 72 games this year. Browuer had 21 goals in 82. Oshie is better at everything. Brouwer was a black hole on both ends of the ice this postseason. So glad he's out. First, I like Browuer, but the problem with him is similar to other guys GMGM brought in - they were paid to be 1/2 line players but were really 3/4 line players. If they had been played in their realistic roles, along with being paid realistic money, I have no problem. As for the comparison, yes last season Broweur had 21 goals vs 19 for Oshie. Keep in mind that they scored 8 power play goals and 3 power play goals, so after that, the totals are 13 - 16. Playing with Ovie will be a god-send for Oshie. He played for US team in World Championships, has great skills and played with guys nowhere as good as Ovie and Backs. Great trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Given Oshie's assist numbers, he will be more of a playmaker than Brouwer as far as the regular season goes, but Brouwer did put up some good goal scoring numbers without always playing with a great center. I would like to see Oshie with Kuznetsov rather than with Backstrom. I think Kuz will take advantage of playing with a better passing wing. I'm happy to see GMBM making changes cause the team needed a shake up. Time will tell if these moves make a bit of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tired of seeing the same cast of characters. Bring in a new supporting cast and lets see how they perform. We have enough evidence how the other cast did.

He finished his tenure in St. Louis with just nine points in 30 games. Oshie is a very streaky player, he can get hot but he also gets cold too. I really hope he can be consistent here and I mean I'm fine with the deal because it's a shakeup and it's a gamble. But it's not a sure lock like many are saying. All this is based on his prior performance though with the Blues. This whole team is starting to move on, we've got new players, we're starting to shake things up, and mold a team that can contend. Whether they do so is another story. But yall should know not to be fooled by splashy offseason signings, especially you Redskins fans. What matters is on the field of play. I hope he does well, I don't mean to keep harping on him, but he isn't perfect and we haven't won anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Didnt we re-sign Beagle? We did...terms of the deal aren't great, but also aren't that bad. IMO, he's probably overpaid by 500k. Peanuts in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Marty St. Louis retired. If he wasn't coming here - that's the best news. Dude absolutely owned the Caps for his whole career. Doesn't Beagle slot in as the third line center? I'd really like them to re-sign Fehr Would love that, too... but not sure we have the coin. I think Latta can step up and play 3C this year. It's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
