Well this was prescient.Sounds more like John Druce than Joel Ward. Hopefully the devils zzz system temporarily stunted his development.
Oooof.Good signing, but probably totally inconsequential for the franchise.
When you are paying what the Caps are paying for their top liners, this is the type of player you need to gamble on (and hopefully pan out) for your bottom six in order to remain competitive.
In the action of last night it was easy to miss how difficult the goal he scored was
DSP has a decent shot, maybe he could play on the 4th line for us.

Ahaha crap I can't, I can't believe how far we've fallen in just 3 months. We went from being the second best team in the league to this
As a wise man once said (paraphrasing), "If we knew anything about the game we'd be in it."
LOL, post of the day.
I can very clearly remember me trashing GMBM for signing old, broken, washed up Orpik for huge dollars and term. If I knew anything about the game, I'd be in it!
There's a reason I don't post much about player acquisitions anymore during the offseason. Keeps me from being wrong a lot.
Somebody projected Latta to be better than FF, lol. We can laugh about this now :Yeah, I've been wrong a lot. I tried to rationalize the Forsberg trade and I honestly thought Erat would be a useful player for the Caps.
Who knows if he wasn't Oates'ed how he would have been?Yeah, I've been wrong a lot. I tried to rationalize the Forsberg trade and I honestly thought Erat would be a useful player for the Caps.
Always nervous when I sheepishly look back at threads like these worried I made some dumb proclamation about the signing....thankfully no comment from me.
What a steal. Mr Clutch.

Well well wellAHL guy. At best, he can be 4RW in WSH when injuries happens.

Super cap friendly deal, 2-way, significant NHL experience, this is a bargain find that could pay off and if it doesn't it's no risk. This is a great signing, but it's also like cleaning the windows on a ship that has a gapping hole in the side. I like this deal a lot more if it was last year.
I did not come out as great as Randy did on this deal. The oracle of Cap One.Sounds more like John Druce than Joel Ward. Hopefully the devils zzz system temporarily stunted his development.
I know everyone is bitter about trading Forsberg away. He developed into a very good player but he may not have developed into the same player if he stayed here. Had he stayed in DC he would have been pretty far down on the depth chart and probably wouldn't have gotten much time on the pp. In Nashville he was on the top line and top pp unit immediately.Somebody projected Latta to be better than FF, lol.
