I dont follow hockey other then the Caps. hard enough to find time for 60 or so Caps game a year so I just dont watch other teams unless they play the Caps.

PLD has an upright glide to him .... kinda like Andy Dufresne strolling through the prison yard like a man in a park without a care or worry in the world

I put zero stock in team performance through the first 5-10 games, but it's been a fun week of hockey.

Hopefully they're for real?

In GMBM I trust. So I think it’s for real.

Caps made shrewd acquisitions = talented players in wrong environment = buying low.

Caps made shrewd signings = leveraging Cap space and other teams constraints = buying low

PLD, Chychrun, Mangiapane, Thompson = all buy low.

Roy, Duhaime, Raddysh, Vrana = using market to help to also buy low here.

Pretty pretty pretty good.

BUT, SSS!!!!!! (small sample size)

Dont forget we have alot of cap space left what only gets more valuable at the season goes on.

We pay our goalies less than $2m combined. They are both good.

This last offseason has been transformative.

Nah. Post 2017 was great too. Keeping it together and keeping the correct pieces. And NOT making other changes that were being requested.

GMBM has a lot of great off-seasons. Only one came after a Cup, but that’s not always his fault

Also, this one may have really been GMCP's first, based on BMac's comments about it being time for a fresh approach. Seems odd to make this many big changes and then be like, here you go! Bring on a new vision!

Seems more likely this IS the new vision.
