Thursday Caps Clips: The Remains of the Day

Your savory breakfast links:

  • Discussion of the Caps’ free agent signings continues apace:
    • Point – The team has neglected its blueline for years and has now addressed this deficiency to create the most legit defense corps the team has iced since the mid-90’s. Just don’t look at the pricetag. [Rink, with approval]
    • Counterpoint – LOL pricetag. [Puck Daddy, TSN, Toronto Sun, CP, CBS Pittsburgh, RMNB]
    • Pricetag or no, there are also questions to be answered about ability. [WaPo, Pensburgh]
    • A familiar coach (and big piles o’ cash) helped convince Brooks Orpik and Matt Niskanen to rock the red. [WaPo]

  • Why do all the trade articles have a picture of Mike Green on them? [ESPN $]
