- The Capitals added an incredible defenseman in free agency and another via trade, but how did their other moves pan out?

Backstrom and Oshie on LTIR gets them below the cap
Looked into the cap stuff earlier. They just assigned Backstrom to "offseason LTIR," apparently, meaning Caps are under the 10% cushion. A doctor verifies he won't play for at least 10 games/24 days from when season starts and you get offseason cap relief. When season starts, both can formally hit LTIR, and no moves will actually be required.
Thanks, I was wondering how they were over the 110% limit
@@XaviRonaldo0 we got about 12m over cap right now.
DANS THE MAN! ❤️💙
@@kristinH82 that's without Backstrom on LTIR. They put him on offseason LTIR to get below the 110% you're allowed in the offseason and Oshie is likely to go on LTIR too and they're below the cap at season's start
Omg the intro won my heart 😂😂😂😂 #truth
Legit the best thing I've seen 🤣 (to me) because I was all #firemaclellen after the damn PLD move lol, and now- I'm not so mad 🤣
As a fellow caps fan, it's ridiculous how different this Free Agency has been played by GMBM. That Vegas room must have worked, he's been absolutely smoking the market. A+ off season for the Caps even if he makes no more moves.
Nah lol Parascak takes ot to an A- alone and we still need a middle 6 guy if he stops here idk I'm not a fan
I aint a caps fan, but i like what they have done , they making a spalsh, not a nashville splash but a splash
@@CanadianBiPolarBearpeople are hyping up stamkos way too much. Has always been a more mediocre ovi. lol
@@OdysseyCS8 marchessault and skjei , plus stamkos....id take stamk9s for 4 yrs way before i took guentzle for any amount of time....forsbergh and o reily needed some support , they got it
@@user-nw4rl8qo9t ur a casual fan if you think that parascak pick was bad.
Securing OVi's goal record
They are icing a competitive team. Quite the opposite of what Dubas is doing with the Pens.
just wait till you watch Chycrun play guys the biggest liability on the ice I have ever seen. Offensively hes good he will get you points, but gets caught a lot pinching, but defensively good luck buddy's out to lunch.
Caps have good D partner options for him, so I'm not worried yet.
Just wait and see Jensen liability on D and Provides zero Offense and 2years and 34.
Chick-run bro
Who cares
@@XaviRonaldo0 I do
@@XaviRonaldo0 Well, probably Jakob Chychrun, for starters.
@@jonathanchampion9638 I'm sure he doesn't care about how a random CZcamsr pronounced his name
the Chic-run's connected to the hen house 🎶🎶
I really think they should sign Vrana. They can get him cheap. He is Currently a free agent last playing in the Blues farm team. Maybe he can get his game back. He just did not mesh in lavi's system. Also, the stop the world man made flu from China did not help his game either.
As a sens fan I will say enjoy Chicky, dudes a beast when he’s not injured. But he will be injured for at least 20 games
Dominated??
From what I understand the caps have spent a whole lot over cap so I guess they’re gonna have to turn loose of some of those they acquired!!!
With Backstrom and Oshie going on LTIR they clear a ton of space there and hopefully they can move TVR and they’ll be under and good to go.
LOL... you got the worst contract in the league, then you got mangiapane who might score 20 this year for nearly 6 million a year AND gave up an asset and did not make CGY retain? Thompson was a good call for sure, but other than that, don't expect much but cap mess and maybe 8th place again. Conroy and Blake love the fact this franchise exists. All that said, I do hope ovi can take down the all time record, lets hope it really was issues with his stick first half of season.
+14,7 million dollars over budged...
Oshie and backstrome will be on LTIR or retire before season starts
Yeah no Nashville has had a better Day 1 than Washington and it isn't even close. Plus Washington hasn't even signed any of their free agents (both UFA and FA). Valiant effort in trying though.
Did you even watch the video? They signed one of their two RFAs in McMichael. They traded the other RFA Malenstyn for a draft pick. They let Aube Kubel go, but replaced him with Duhaime. Pacioretty is the only unsigned UFA/RFA, but he's not coming back and that's not a big loss.
@gabrielrockman oh my apologies they have 2 of their free agents signed and of course I didn't watch the video. I missed the re-ups on NHL's site. Regardless I'm not saying that they didn't have a great day, it's just that Nashville had the best day out of any team. Stamkos, Marchessault, and Skjei were highly sought after FAs and it seems like the Preds are in a win now mentality.
@@LordTepes81I guess if a state like Florida can win the Cup, maybe Tennessee might have a shot, too
@davidlinehat4657 Nashville did make the Cup in 2017 so they totally can win the Cup. It all comes down to Saros and if he can stay healthy this year come playoff time.
