He's certainly done quite well thus far in his pro career. It will be interesting to see how far he can take the Caps, now having quite a bit of offensive talent to work with as opposed to when he was with Nashville.

The coaching change worked well for both teams, though Laviolette seems to have an expiration date.

It's also interesting that three of the most criticized UFA signings from last summer, Orpik, Niskanen, and Engelland have all made their teams better.

Here's a question , with Letangs health and salary for the next 4 years would you trade Edler for Letang? You get one of the best offensive Dmen in the game but his health is a question.

I read a report today , he was ready to come back in the Playoffs , but Pens didn't want to push him.

I would definitely take a chance on him. Albeit it's a double whammy - his high cap hit and health concerns. Still, a top 10 d-man in the league when he is healthy. Look at Bergeron - not that many people thought he would play again after his last severe concussion, yet he's come back to be one of the best two way players in the league and has not had any subsequent set-backs. A fairly big gamble but I would take it.

I think we all agree the defence needs major work, hopefully JB does as well!

Yes, it seems that Laviolette's style wears thin more quickly than most of his peers. Not sure if he's that great of a coach but he did do a good job this year with Nashville (although he did have more offense to work with than Trotz did).

As concerns the UFA signings, I always thought giving up Orpik was a bad idea for Pitt. Of course the salary he received from Washington was far more than they could afford unfortunately (especially with the Letang contract, not to mention Crosby and Malkin).

And Niskanen and Engelland had good seasons which shows you that sometimes you've got to overpay a little to get a need filled.

Just wanted to take a minute to point out something I discovered in NHL 15 with their new roster update. In said update, Mcmillan is listed as a High level Elite prospect

Excellent. I will no longer be fooled by his mediocre play.

I have it, played for like an hour, but it just didn't do it for me. My wife's constant eye rolling probably didn't help.

Even if they need a goalie they won't be looking for an old expensive one.
