Hersh Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 11 hours ago, bearrock said: I can't imagine we'll have the room to keep Beagle (maybe if we buyout Orpik). Carlson and Wilson alone should take us to 10+ mil easily. I think we're projected to have 16 to 17 million in room after trading or letting go Grubauer I would not be surprised to see them move Burakovsky. That's another $3 million that could come off the books and for the Caps he would be staying on the 3rd line. He's not irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I hope guys like Gersich and Walker can start contributing next season. I feel like we should start focusing on youth so we can get some value. Don’t want to turn into the Blackhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Tom Wilson on ESPNRadio right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I want to keep Beagle. Veteran, hardest worker and ace face-off guy. He’s kind of like the Captain of the 4th line. I’d be OK with trading Bura and Grubs to clear cap space to keep Wilson, Beagle and DSP. Agree that Walker, Gersich and also Boyd, need to be on the club next year.

Warhead36 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 There's talent in Bura. I wouldn't be so quick to get rid of him. And we have to keep Beags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Wilson needs to stay at all costs. The guy is a one man wrecking crew on the ice, teams dont know how to handle him. I think in some respects he might be the most underrated capital. Caps are a different team with him on the ice Is Grub really worth a 1st? I keep hearing that... who is going to give up a 1st for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definetly see them willing to part with one of them for Grubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Don't get me wrong the cup victory will last a lifetime, but for me personally beating the Pens was my highest moment of the entire run because of how it happened. I had time to prepare for the moment the clock hit 0 and we won the cup, the pens win was sudden and let's face it not expected at all. So glad we got both those moments during the same run.

Not for me. Game 7 Tampa was. Tampa was the 400lb Gorilla this year. Defeating them (and the way we did it -- taking command of the series early, imploding late, and then snatching victory from the jaws of defeat to end it) totally stunned me. After that I realized no one was getting in the way of this team and their destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My emotions were at their peak when Kuzy scored in OT to eliminate the Pens. I definitely enjoyed other moments more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twins won it all in 91, technically three months before DC won its last before the Caps. Ironically I lived in Minneapolis for a bit too. Great sportstown. I think the Cousins led Vikings break that curse this year. 21 minutes ago, Zazzaro703 said: Don't get me wrong the cup victory will last a lifetime, but for me personally beating the Pens was my highest moment of the entire run because of how it happened.

When Kuzy scored the game winner I screamed in ecstacy. To me its the 2nd biggest moment of the run(biggest is still THE SAVE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife still doesn't understand throwing hats on the ice. I wear a hat whenever I go to a game live, and she tells me before I leave I better come home with that hat. One of my friends tells her when we go that I am coming home without a hat. Of course the one time I saw one live from Ovechkin, I didn't have a hat with me.

Warhead36 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 This thread should be stickied. Everyday when I log into ES and go onto the Tailgate, I want to see "Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals" at the top. It makes me feel happy inside.

Mournblade Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So far I got: 1. Braden Holtby Authentic #70 Jersey 2. 2 Ovechkin T-Shirts for my 2 Nephews (they live in England but even THEY are aware of the Caps historic victory) 3. 2018 Washington Capitals Stanley Cup DVD 4. Sports Illustrated with commemorative Washington Capitals Stanley Cup Champions cover I'm thinking of getting some kind of Caps tattoo. I'm a fan until the grave now, might as well celebrate it with a tat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
