Yep.

Not sure how moving a 4th equals us getting worse.
- Lahey

That 4th was logging valuable minutes.....

Im hearing it isnt buffalo..

One guy says Buffalo, one guy says Nsh. Dreger says Forsberg could be the guy dealt.

Bobby Mac says buffalo is done. Either way if this isnt a huge trade im breaking my TV

Smithson sure in the (frank) does not make us better. I would rather gamble with a 4th then have him.

He brings a 55% FO percentage.. He makes us better.

If smithson is gonna log valuable minutes we are doomed

Informed speculation: Erat for Forsberg, with some other things involved. Erat has a no-trade clause but wants out.

On our forth line. The guy has stone hands is totally useless everywhere else. He is a poor man Eric Belanger

He also can penalty kill. I take it you dont like Brown either? His job isnt to put the puck in the net.

I do, but I don't sit around waiting for news to post.

I think sensarmy must be an Oil fan in disguise, he posts in here more daily

forseberg for erat and laata

F. Forsberg to Nash for M. Erat and M. Latta

Sorry but he does. His faceoffs wins, size and hits make him an upgrade over Belanger.

That's kinda brutal IMO for WSH. Unless Latta is NHL ready.

Am I the only that thinks caps got wrecked on this?

In what world?
- Reveen

What has he done? A monkey could of made our 3 first over all picks.

Nope, unless Erat is some sort of 80 point player that was knocked down to a 55 point guy because of Trotz.

With that being said this deal helps us.

Holy crap, I think EK had this one.

Agreed. My buddy is a caps fan and he loves it but he's so biased he thinks everything that team does is gold. FF is a beast. Erat is a lazy euro

No poop! So smithson is gonna put us over the hump and get us into the play offs? Who around us in the standings did we get better then?

Honestly I dont think CBJ got any better. Gaborik is a great player but he has no one to play with. Nsh got worse, PHX got worse, Dallas got worse, Blues got a little better but also lost their #1 goalie to injury(I think). Detroit didnt do anything and sharks probably got worse.
