it was the start of free agency in the hockey world. and how did the capitals do?
we resigned mike green to a four year deal. thats the good news. we needed this. he was and still will be a great asset to the team last year. i have no doubt that he can do the same for this season.
we are also still in talks to resign fedrov. ovechkin says he is betting that we will resign them but you never know in these situations.
so whats the bad news? or is there. well we let huet get away from us. or maybe he wanted to. apparently george mcphee did all he could do to keep up with everything he wanted throwing it out on the table. whatever he asked for, he matched. still it wasnt good enough for him. and in the end he signed with chicago for a five year deal with over five million dollars per year.
so what or whom did we get?
theodore. from the colorado avalanche. andy says he is a good match and will do well. i say time will tell...
and if your wondering what happened to olie the goalie? he went to tampa bay lightning where he will be playing with old team mate, and personal favorite of mine. jeff halpern.
and while the season doesnt start for a couple of months. in our household. its the only thing on our mind.
at least for the next twenty four hours anyway.
