Gotta say, as a rangers fan, it's been awesome watching the Capitals' offseason. Man did they just cripple themselves with some of these contacts for the next decade.

they should have bit the bullet on the Orpik buyout

they really are bad at managing contracts, they have no bargains, none.

Well, Backstrom I guess is a bit of a bargain now when you see all these other crazy contracts

Was that back in the Bruins days? Don't remember that.

i REMEMBER a few incidents w him in Boston where he had a few dirty plays against us, 1 where he slew footed Petr Nedved but probably the 1 incident he means was when early in the 2011-12 season he said publicly he was disappointed the Sharks lost to such a soft team (meaning us) & Torts went back at it w him in the press.

Caps will still finish with 115 points & cruise it into the playoffs & lose again in Round 2...yawn.

Would like to get (besides more help at center) another gritty type forward to fill out the bottom 6. I don't care if its a veteran for 1 year, we could use that (look how Glass helped late last yr)on this team.

I can't believe the Capitals couldn't get a better deal for Johannson than that, especially to send to division rival

it's such a bad deal, I wonder if it was a little present to the Devils who may have been preparing an offer sheet to one of the Capitals, and it was a gift for not doing it

and he is up again in a few years.

Johnson was good with Kucherov and and not as good without, not better then Miller after all

Sharks. In 2012 and after Hertl's 4 goal game.
