Thread: Go Caps go!!!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Great game. Can't believe they shut out Tampa in game seven. Talk about a team with some offense.

People tease me for how often I stick up for Brooks Orpik being not awful. He's +15 right now. Marchessault and Guentzel are tied for second at +10. <a href="http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20172018&amp;seasonTo=20172018&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=plusMinus" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20172018&amp;seasonTo=20172018&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=plusMinus</a>

He's also fifth in shot blocks (Niskanen is first): <a href="http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?report=realtime&amp;reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20172018&amp;seasonTo=20172018&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=blockedShots" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?report=realtime&amp;reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20172018&amp;seasonTo=20172018&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=blockedShots</a>

And he's fifth in hits, with three Capitals ahead of him: <a href="http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?report=realtime&amp;reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20172018&amp;seasonTo=20172018&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=hits" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?report=realtime&amp;reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20172018&amp;seasonTo=20172018&amp;gameType=3&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=hits</a>

People have spent all year telling me that these intangible stats do not matter. I think by game seven, Tampa was feeling them.</div></div>

Orpik is doing a really fine job but his contract will most likely force the caps to move him this summer in order to re-sign their guys.
I really hope the Caps crushes the Knights.

Thread: 4 steps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_fan123</b></div><div>doesn't have to be him I was just lazy and picked him

Calgary values shaw

benn isn't a bad contract

and meh for slchemko

and 2mil worth alzner is definealty worth a 2nd 3rd and 4th</div></div>

Bruh you are going to randomly pick a center when it's our biggest need?
Shaw might never play again after all his concussions and his over-paid for what he does, idk who told you Calgary wanted him but i doubt it.
Benn isn't a bad contract and i said "your asking way too much for those bad contract".....yea i wasnt including Benn.
Schlemko dosen't even gets you a 6th round pick, he's an AHL level d-man based on how poorly he played last year.
2.625m Alzner would probably only get you like a third round pick given he's a bottom pairing defensive guy. Retaining 2m dosen't really make it worth it imo.

Thread: Seriously, a rebuild wouldn't be that bad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Truebeliever</b></div><div>You forget, there are more "Melnyk" owners in the NHL than TMLs and MSGs. Weber's cap is $7.85, but his cash out is now $6, soon to be $3M then $1M.

At the moment, sure, $8M is a hefty contract for a top-4 Dman, but not crazy. What's important to note is that his cash cost is only $6M. In 3 years, as the cap and the floor keep rising, Weber's cash cost drops to $3M then $1M, but he helps any team comply with the cap floor. Those teams can trade him and retain 50% of the cap. Do you not think there will be teams wanting Weber for a Cup run if the cap hit is &lt;$4M? And, if he retires, the cap hit goes back to Nashville.


2018-19 $7,857,143 $6,000,000
2019-20 $7,857,143 $6,000,000
2020-21 $7,857,143 $6,000,000

2025-26 $7,857,143 $1,000,000</div></div>

oh quit it with the cap floor argument....if we trade Weber to a cap team to help them reach the floor(aka arizona) we are going to get what in return? a 4th round pick maybe?
You're not trading Weber in that scenario, your just trading financial numbers. In a hockey deal no teams would touch Weber's contract to get better and win a cup
