I'm looking forward to him calling out Crosby (and Malkin if he stays in Pitt) again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capcrunch98 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Backstrom had his surgery, no timetable for return. Will be interesting to see what happens. I love the guy, but $9 mil for a forward who scores 6 goals doesn't work in today's NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Backstrom is out for the regular season, the Caps can do exactly what the Lightning did. This will give the Caps some significant cap flexibility for next season using the LTIR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkin can still produce when he's healthy, but that hasn't happened consistently for a few years. If he's willing to take a major pay cut to play with Ovi and Kuzy, I could see management kicking the tires. But if they pay market price for him, they're f-ing nuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backstrom just underwent surgery that will put him out for a long time, so that $9 mil is suddenly available Kucherov-style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and that's a season-changing amount of cap room at our disposal if it happens. Spending a chunk of that on Malkin would be foolish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't advocating for Malkin, just pointing out that the $9 mil of cap space isn't actually dedicated to a breaking down old man, but rather will be off the books on LTIR Until he recovers in time for playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Malkin is probably the player I dislike the most in NHL history. 🖕😎🖕 Edited June 22, 2022 by Captain Wiggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about Jagr - a dude who managed to brutally F us over and over when he was in an opposing jersey AND when he was wearing a Caps sweater. Jaro Halak also makes my list - he seems like a decent guy but I'll never forgive him for singlehandedly pulling the rug out from under the most electric Caps team ever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) I was watching on mute. Was a TB player losing his mind near the bench with about 20 seconds left cause of the icing wave off? The previous icing should've been waved off too. Edited June 27, 2022 by Hersh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
