Ok now...

Let's go Caps!
Undoubtedly someone else gets moved today…
We shall see who… in about 54 minutes and 58 seconds.

We’ll roll 5 forward lines, rotate three D, and basically never let the other team have the puck…

So far
Caps have picked up two guys I’m not familiar with. And that’s good cause I really don’t know much….
Just trying to capture the spirit of the thing...
Eric Belanger – Dependable second/third line center, good hands, great in the circle
Scott Walker – Tough guy, sucker punches Aaron Ward in Game 6, scores an OT winner in Game 7 of the same series.
Let's go Caps!
Then he fits in perfectly with the rest of our team.

Man, his tweets are money today. Great tension-breakers.

His 135 update on his blog was great too:
1:35 p.m. – Mathieu Schneider was just traded. Hey, remember when the Leafs acquired him and everyone agreed it was a bad deal because he was so old and you can’t give up young players like Kenny Jonsson for a veteran? That was in 1996. Jonsson’s been out of the NHL since before the lockout.

His Wiki page was already updated:

Yeah, I’m not so sure. The Oilers can’t score and can’t keep the puck out of the net. They’ve got a handful of NHL-caliber players, but they’re mostly role players.

But I’m pretty sure Steve Staios could handle Giroux/Aucoin/Gordon.

As badly as they are slumping, I imagine the scoring woes of Gagner, Cogliano, Penner, et al would disappear in a hurry against even the best AHL talent. And the big guns for Hershey aren’t exactly good at scoring at the NHL level.

I’m just not convinced the gulf is as wide as you’re assuming. There are tons of marginal NHL players who have moved down to the AHL and not dominated.
Yes, Giroux and Aucoin haven’t produced a ton in the NHL, however, I’m not asking them to play against an NHL team, I’m asking them to play against the worst team in the NHL with Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers as their starting G.
There's a fine line between arrogance and ignorance and only I manage to erase that line.
Giroux has played against bad teams before and done nothing. And he still has to get around legit NHL defensemen and forwards, even if they aren’t the best. Giroux and Aucoin would be overmatched against the top defenders of ANY NHL team, and the mismatch grows larger as you move down the lines.

Giroux’s problem in the NHL hasn’t been an inability to get shots – it’s been an inability to score. I think against a crap goalie, he can probably do that.
Also, don’t underestimate the fact that the Bears actually play a system (and play it well) and haven’t completely given up on life.
There's a fine line between arrogance and ignorance and only I manage to erase that line.
I don’t know that JDD is so much worse than some other goalies Giroux has faced to suddenly solve his scoring problems. Plus, we’ll see how many chances Giroux gets in the NHL when he is the prime focus of the other team’s D, not playing in the shadows of Alex and Company. And that’s still only 1 player/line that may be able to hold it’s own. What are the rest of the Bears gonna do?
Edmonton may have given up on the season, but you can bet that they would work their asses off to make sure they don’t get embarrassed losing to an AHL team.

I want to see Fehr for Hammer+, but does NSH have room for him up front? They have a bunch of forwards signed for a bunch of years. I think they need to unload a winger then this deal happens.
They did – they waived Ryan Jones, who then got picked up by Edmonton.

Fehr’s also RFA for a little while longer, so they only need to offer him a 5% raise or no raise, depending (I think for him it’s no raise) to maintain the compensation rights.

short amount of time to take care of defense.
Walker, nice grit for a run but nothing more. 3rd line at most, which means the 3rd line is about to change significantly.
Belanger, BB liked, but he other than faceoffs and some modest offensive upside, it keeps the 2nd line small in the middle and slight on the sides. Walker doesn’t have the speed for the caps 2nd line.
Assuming they move Flash…maybe they think BMo will have his legs back after getting the Olympic break. Not sure I feel dynamite about having a “real” 2nd line center either way but it could work.

We were better positioned to make our team better than any other EC team and we squandered it. SQUANDERED!

Remember that you have to have a dance partner in order to trade, F&B. It’s not fair to say it was squandered if the guy you’re targeting isn’t available for trade. We all pooh-poohed everything that was brought up that wasn’t Hammer or Volchenkov, and neither was available.

Exactly. I also don’t think it’s a guarantee GMGM was willing to give up Fehr/Flash for him. GMGM doesn’t trade away things of value, really.
A second rd pick is certainly value. And at some point you actually have to give up value to get something in return. You can’t just fart around every damn deadline trading picks for moderate role players when you have a genuine need.
That’s true, the 2nd did have some value. It was the going rate for a role player who could contribute in the playoffs, and I think the Caps lost out on D because other teams had better 2nd rounders.
I’m not disagreeing that GMGM shoulda been more bold, but that’s just not how he’s operated post-rebuild.

If it's Cam Ward
I will be happy for the rest of my time in school, including college.

I’ll be pissed. Brutal contract.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.

Get pissed. It’s Corvo, per McKenzie

No, pissed at Cam Ward. I prefer Corvo to Ward big time.

Got it, but do you think Corvo is that much of an upgrade of Pothier? And worth losing Osala too?
by BradleyFightingVehicle on Mar 3, 2010 3:11 PM EST up reply actions
He’s much better than Potsy. I think it’s a steal. OO has potential, but he’s slipping and his skating is still an issue. Potsy is gone. I was sure Corvo would fetch a 1st and we didn’t have to part with it.

Fair enough, I haven’t seen too much of Corvo since Alzner cut his leg open earlier this season. I’ll also admit to being a big fan of Pothier. But if Corvo is truly an upgrade I am fine with the deal.
by BradleyFightingVehicle on Mar 3, 2010 3:16 PM EST up reply actions
Nobody has seen much of Corvo since Alzner cut him up! I did some poking around last night and it turns out the CAR PK was better with Corvo than without him. That tells me he’s at least a somewhat reliable PKer, which is great. He can skate and move the puck as well so I’m happy.

I now agree
seeing his big extension with NTC in capgeek. But I mean, he’ll solve any goalie issues for the next ~10 years or so.

I actually prefer Corvo to Whitney. How do we take Whitney if we don’t move another F?

Carolinia trades Joe Corvo to Caps for Brian Pother and Oskar Osala.
Everyone wants to kill the king. But the prince, he just sails along telling all the ladies, "One day I'm gonna be king."
I’m cool with that. D got better, scoring got better, somehow we didn’t lose any valuable Fs.

We have a F overload. I’m not sure why GMGM didn’t use that surplus in any of his deals.

I bet he wanted to. Who knows. We may never know the truth. But right now we have a ton of legit NHL players so a couple injuries (outside the obvious) don’t sink us. I’m much happier.

You don’t think we lost too much by trading away Osala?
I agree, though. He’s an upgrade over Pothier.
GUTEN TAAAAAAAAAAAAG!
Nah. Gotta move something to get value. OO is good, but he’s expendable with all the other Fs we have in the system. The fact that he couldn’t get above the 4th line in HER this year is not a great sign for him.

Yeah. Agreed. I think this is a steal. We don’t have many big wingers in the system anymore, but at the same time we still have Fehr.
GUTEN TAAAAAAAAAAAAG!
Right. With Fehr and Laich we may have some crash the net players going forward.

Funny, fits right in here. From the PD blog.

Scratch Erskine usually and dress Mo. Maybe Poti/Juice and Corvo/Mo. Or Poti/Schultz, Green/Mo, Corvo/Juice. We have options now.

Put Sasha on 2, bump Flash to 3, Chimera to 4, who else do you scratch/send down?
by BradleyFightingVehicle on Mar 3, 2010 3:18 PM EST up reply actions
Q sent down. Walker, Gordon are the likely scratches with Fehr also spending time in the press box because he thinks BB’s dog is ugly.

I’d rather have Chimmy spend time in the press box than Fehr, but as you said, BB really seems to have it out for him.

McKenzie:
Canes also get a second rounder from from Washington for Corvo
Too much, IMO.

Did we have 2 second rounders? Or would this be a 2011 second rounder?

Tarik just tweeted that it was a 2011 2nd round pick

Well, we were all saying that GMGM was too cheap to spend on real upgrades.
No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.
I don’t agree. I think he did just fine. What I’m getting at is that there’s no pleasing some people.
