I think its just because there's a long-ish break in the schedule.

The cap too. Keeping those guys up costs a lot of money, sending them down doesn't.

It was, Darcy can't work a fax machine, as he proved during the draft too.

I dont buy it for a second. Miller was very good, ovechkin is a generational goal scorer. no GM can be that stupid.

It wasn't just Miller. I don't know what the actual deal was, but I heard it from 2 different people who haven't been wrong on anything else.

Fire Disco.

What? No way Washington was looking to move Ovie for goaltending in the lock out year.

I'm glad everyone thinks the Vegas team is going to take everyone's trash, 500 mill to get his team, he's not taking trash.

Maybe the year before then when he was having a down year. But I remember the local media waiting for a deal to be announced at the end of that day and it was speculated it was a deal with the Caps.

Everytime I read something on here people think that the Vegas team is just going to take the players that we don't want, it's not gonna happen like that. " Oh Bogo just dump him on Vegas, Oh Ennis just let Vegas have him, Moulson, just hope Vegas gets him ETC, ETC " . Get a clue people.

It seems a little outlandish....from a Washington perspective anyway.

This is the sort of thing that makes its way to national media. They were both a big deal league wide. Maybe there was a deal, maybe it was for miller but Ovechkin is what brings the fans in washington to the games, no way it was for him.

Yup. Vegas will take the best players made available, not the overpaid hot garbage piles of poop we or anyone else doesnt want.

They have to get to the salary floor and most of what will be exposed from the other 30 teams will be a wide variety of trash. hopefully they take some of ours

"According to SI.com, the Capitals have once again expressed interest in the Buffalo Sabres goaltender as they did late last season when they reportedly almost traded for him at last year's NHL trade deadline. The current roster freeze ends on Feb. 23 and teams will have until the March 5 deadline to negotiate new deals."


maybe it was for Forsberg?

The report states that Caps goalie Michal Neuvirth would likely be involved in the deal as well as the Capitals first-round pick in this year's draft and possibly more

Yeah neurvirth and a 1st is a lot more reasonable than Ovechkin.

The Oilers wouldn't take Bogo in the offseason, what's that tell you .

- Larsson_fan

From what people mentioned it was a lot more than just Miller.

It was around the time Ovi was not having a great time in Washington.

I have no clue if it's true, doesn't really matter anymore
