I really hope JR does nothing more for the sole reason I don't want any team chemistry (frank)ed up. I think these guys are tight & anymore missing from the run in & there may be some problems. They proved last season that the 'team' will win not individuals playing in that team (maybe 1 reason the Caps have had issues in the past - are they really a team?).

Really looking forward to seeing how Brassard goes.

I think Gallant will get the best out of Fists of Fury.

Our version of Jacko haha

Pretty happy with the Brassard acquisition. Kane would be deadly!

Pack Sheary's ass and the pick to Buffalo already

'Haggo' is just outrageously ugly! Have you seen his hair, you just can't put a guy down like that! Please, layoff the hard stuff Barnaby my boy. 'Shags' is a man of leisure & love........Haggo sounds like he was just coughed up by a cat! May as well call him furballs!

Any news on who will be this years college most wanted to sign?

Saw a couple of names in here I think last week, any news about any of them?

Have to start looking considering we won't be trading our 1st away at the draft again this season.

All this whining, "We need to protect our finesse players" by Pittsburgh, You OVERPAY for a goon to do that and dump him already ? Sounds like the GM thinks he's running a fantasy team

Nah, plus if we really need it we have Oleksiak but I'd rather him just play hockey.

I agree with this. He was great in Ottawa. I hate to see him go but you guys will love what he brings. Love the return we got too, especially if we can flip Cole for something good

I hope you guys keep Karlsson, that would really suck to lose your best player. Hope it works out!

Per Hockey-reference this season.
20:50 Crosby
18:49 Malkin
18:21 Brassard
14:51 Sheahan
71:71 minutes of centers on the ice.

I feel like those top 3 deserve to stay there, but it would be pretty strange to only play Sheahan 4 minutes a game. Means you should shift them together sometimes, unless you think Sheahan is worse than your bottom line wingers (and deserves 4 minutes per game).

- eNDSo

Crosby’s icetime has likely been increasing due to Rowney’s injury and even after he came back Sid has continued to get double shifted. Sid was also killing penalties with Rowney our. I don’t see that as a common trend moving forward. I also don’t think Sheahan is worse than our bottom pair wingers.. hence why I figured him to come in around the 9 minute per game mark

So much for GMJR wanting to have an enforcer in the lineup to protect his 2 superstars.

If we lose him and it's a great return for a rebuild, I'm okay with that.

If we lose him and it's a poop return because melnyk wanted to save money..........then I'm looking for a new team to cheer for

Meh.. Oleksiak is just as effective... And my gut is telling me they're gonna get Kane too for some reason... Not sure I want that. Would be overkill.

I was at last night's game. So pumped about the trade. Went to take a poop and saw the trade was rejected. So I'm pissed off as we are torching the Canes and get an alert we traded Reaves. God without being able to read full updates I was so confused lol. Talk about drama.

Anyway, I read we have $2M in cap space now. It's kind of scary to think somehow we have more than DOUBLE the cap space we had before acquiring Brassard.

Not to mention -- we have Brassard for $3M?! Are you kidding? I actually think this doesn't close the door on Horny.
