Kurd Cudins Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Seeing Doughty's 8 year, $88 million deal makes me feel even better about the Carlson deal. Losing Beagle would be awful, but if he is getting $12 million elsewhere, he can't turn that down and we can't come anywhere close. Boyd did seem ready to accept the challenge of filling his skates. It also means bringing Orpik back should be easy and we'll still have a little wiggle room to bring up prospects and make a deadline trade.

pjfootballer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Still not enamoured with bring back Orpik, even at a reduced salary. He’s 38 and while he had a good season, I’d rather roll with a younger player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a third pair though, I’ll be fine either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've got some guys in the pipeline, but none of them is a sure-thing to step up and belong this year, so why not bring Orpik back to take another run at the cup?

SkinsFanRob Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 So jay beagle to Vancouver for 4 years at 3 mil per. Wish the Caps would have matched. I think they are seriously undervaluing his work on the Faceoff and PK. He would work that puck in the corner on the PK and wind that time off. Also him and DSP has some nice chemistry going.

Springfield Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Nah, I think 3 is too much for us. Good on Beagle for getting that contract though! I have faith that Stephenson can step up in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I agree with letting Beagle walk for that much. Good for him, but I think his utility and production, while good, isn't quite to the 3M per year level. We have other players we need back more. Tough to replace, but we will have several chances to find someone who can step in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Re-signed Boyd and signed C Nic Dowd from LA at $650k. 51% faceoff wins. Battle Boyd at 4C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Sucks to lose Beagle and his face off wins, but $3M was too rich for the Caps blood. Hopefully they'll groom these new guys to be his replacement on the 4th line. Need to get Wilson in the fold asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrock Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Giving 11 mil per year to Tavares means they can keep at most two of Mathews, Nylander, and Marner. And they don't have anywhere near championship defense to begin with. Tavares plus two with that defense doesn't suddenly propel them to Cup worthy status. At best, they have a one year window.

Nah, they won’t hold up in the playoffs. I still think Washington, Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay beats them pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Sucks we lost Beagle.. But, like everyone has said, we couldn't afford him at 3mil per year.. Good for him though, got his cup and now getting paid.. Enjoy your time in Vancouver! I hope they we don't issue a #83 for a couple seasons..

Don’t expect much from the Redskins, so my level of care for them wasn’t too high anyhow. Naturally, one of them will have a deep playoff run this season.
