- Contrary to earlier reports and expectations, Eric Belanger will not be rejoining the Caps any time soon, and Belly’s camp sounds none too pleased about (going so far as to presumably leak alleged communications between the two sides and drag a couple of Caps front office personnel into the fray by name… bush league; something tells me this story gets bigger before it goes away).
