Description

GMBM has been terrible for a long time and each year he gets worse and worse, Leonsis promises Ovi the team won’t rebuild while he finishes his career and just as he returns from the death of his father they send the team into a rebuild with a terrible trade getting nothing significant back in return when they were not out of the playoff race at all. This is not a retool trade this is a rebuild trade and a bad one. This doesn’t improve the team much at all in the future and it doesn’t improve the team at all in the near future now we will see the caps come crashing down and they will not be good for a long time with GMBM in charge how is he not fired.

He just made a good trade…settle down.

Not to mention, mission #1 for this team is to get ovechkin the goal record - winning is secondary.

i mean this deal was pretty good, i don't see how it's an indicator that you'll suck for decades

You just got a pretty massive overpayment in that trade. Not sure what you're complaining about.

I disagree, he has been a very good GM for the Caps...some bad but a lot of good moves...the playoff failures have either been players, injuries, or coaching

Conservatively selling decent players on expiring contracts =/= rebuilding

Nor does it really impact Ovechkin's ability to chase Gretzky.

That extra cap space and draft picks can be put to good use come summer.
