sportjunkie07 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I like this trade a lot for the caps. I feel sometimes that Washington gets stagnant when playing top defenses and good goaltenders, which is what we see in the playoffs. Imo, this trade will help us have stronger rotations offensively, which will keep the pressure on the other teams defense. from my little knowledge of oshie, I see him as a playmaker, and I think he and the whole offense will benefit from having him around. And if holtby continues to improve, which I think he will, we will be dangerous. I'm calling it now, the caps win the Stanley Cup next year.

In a perfect world, we'd amnesty Laich...and re-sign Fehr to be 3C. Not sure if Fehr will return, but I haven't heard much about him garnering much interest on the FA market. Bodes well for the Caps.

Hersh Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Holtby and the Caps are near a deal as well...only 1 mil apart in terms. What terms are you hearing and is it 1 mil apart annually? BTW, signing kuznetsov is just as big a deal as Holtby. Without Kuz, this team goes no where fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'd be very happy to have Fehr back for next season. Beagle can play 3C, but I think we'd be a better team with Fehr at 3C and having Beagle take 4C. Hypothetical lines with Fehr returning: Russian Machine-Backstrom-Oshie Burracuda-Kuznetsov-Game 7 Jojo-Bully Dozer-Whip Ice Cheetah-Beags-Brooks Top-9 replacement: Galiev, Vrana 4th line replacement: Steam, Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Easy on the Cup predictions the rest of the East is making moves too Rangers let go of MSL and have Zuccarello healthy on top line Tampa has Stamkos and Tyler Johnson and good young goaltending too, and you could even make the argument they're even more experience than us even with their youth We have to deal with them first, I mean there's so much we still have to deal with before we can win our own Stanley Cup. Just be happy that we're making moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Kuz, this team goes no where fast. A source familiar with the situation tells RMNB that restricted free agent Braden Holtby and the Capitals are close to making a deal that will keep the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan goaltender in Washington. We’re told that the Caps and Holtby’s camp are about $1 million apart in yearly salary, but term is not an issue. The Caps want him closer to $5 million per year, while Holtby wants around $6 million. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Oshie, whose name had been connected to possible deals since the Blues fell in six games to the Minnesota Wild, brings a potent scoring acumen to Washington, with 50-point campaigns in each of his past three full seasons, and St. Louis enjoyed more even-strength shot attempts with the 28-year-old on the ice than when he sat.

RonArtest15 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 This is priceless... http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:13201948 Ok, I'm bringing the Smirnoff Ice to the party. I feel like this is becoming a "thing" now. Seems like for every athlete that's either traded or leaves via FA, some parent puts up a vid on Youtube of their kid crying. The first time I saw this (I think it was w/ Jimmy Graham) it was quasi amusing. Now, it's getting to be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
