More like Simmonds
- YuenglingJagr


If Oshie gets 8 years almost $6 mil at age 30-31, why can't Simmonds ask for that at age 31? Or 7x7? People are too nonchalant with how that contract could hamstring us.

It's your fault. If we get banned, you gotta bail us out.

Sorry. I blew all my money on booze and skin flicks. This is how you pre-game a draft.

Lol are you expecting big things for Vegas? With no Fluery how do you think they will finish?

And MAF is a throw in, but a throw in that fits the team.

And yes a solid goalie likely makes us a playoff team.

- youarewrong


They could finish high enough for their pick to be outside of the top 10. They have other goalies.

So part of the reason in making the deal is to be a playoff team? They might be that already! LOL

okay so you go to your control panel, search for System 32, then delete it.

The Oshie deal is a trade off. Lower AAV for security of term. The Caps are in a position to win now. McClellan doesn't care about the 8 years. If they don't win, he won't be around

Yes in other words...the GM is mortgaging the future

The timing of the Simmonds deal would actually be worse. They doubled down on their core. Ours is just reaching the NHL

Yes he is, as he should. What is the sense of having Ovechkin and all the other players if you don't go for it when you have the opportunity?

If re-signing Simmonds is what has to be done to give the team a legitimate shot at the Cup then I'm 100% behind it.
