Ovechkin Has Chosen... Wisely
Alexander Ovechkin has exercised his option to void his contract for this season with Omsk of the Russian Super League, meaning that little stands between him and signing with the Caps. It was reported first by TSN.ca here, then soon thereafter on the Caps' official site here, by the WaPo here, and...
Caps Under Contract, Restricteds And Unrestricteds
OK, so who's still a Cap? Olie Kolzig? Yes (for now - buyout rumors are everywhere, though I tend to doubt them). Peter Bondra? No. Jason Doig? Maybe. Bobby Carpenter? Hell, he could be. Here's the list from the Caps site.But here's the list of most of the team's current status. As of right now,...
Sunday's Rumors

And They're Off, Part II
Today at noon begins what promises to be the craziest free agency period any sport has ever seen. There are plenty of rumors to get to, but first, the news and transactions of the past few days, starting in Washington. The Caps have re-signed Jeff Halpern and Brendan Witt, and have signed 2003...

As we mentioned last night, Jeff Halpern has been named captain of the Caps, replacing probably the worst captain in team history in Brendan Witt (if I had a nickel for every time I said, "A captain can't act that way," this site would be much prettier).
