Am worried about the Gizzards draft picks. Dumping Avidja for Carrington ….. aye Carumba

We shall see. I’m NO WHERE near as hopeful for the Gizz as I am for the Skins, O’s, and Caps.

The Gizz….. sigh. Shrug.

You're hopefully for the Caps now? The Caps are all about chasing OV's record, then breaking this team up into smithereens and starting from scratch. Meanwhile other teams in their division (like the Flyers) are starting their ascent. Unless they get stone cold lucky in the draft, Caps could be wandering into the wilderness for some time.

Carrington is supposed to be good, we'll see

I don’t think so. I believe in GMBM (ok, he’s Pres
Now, or whatever, but he’s still in charge), and what he can do.

Caps have as much prospect talent as the Flyers, IMO. Save maybe G.

I’m very bullish on the Caps.

Wrong thread?

Ted might be one of the worst owners. Outside of winning the Ovie lottery hes been pretty bad on everything. Check Wizards.

Yeah out of 2 franchises, he’s only been able to win a title with one…..he’s the worst…./eyeroll….

His NBA record with him making his in charge for years and trying to move the teams to VA without telling anyone.

the Flyers have started like three separate ascents in the last 10 years, I'll believe it when I see it.

His flaw is that he's too patient with his hires and waits too long to make course corrections. As far as flaws for owners go, it's one of the better ones. Owners that are too impatient turn their franchises into clown shows.

Moving the teams to VA was a negotiating tactic, I'll never buy that he actually thought that'd go through. Annoying, but par for the course for owners. At least he was only threatening to move within the metro area and not to another city entirely.

Beyond those two things, he spends to the salary cap routinely, invests in team facilities and operations, and is willing to take a financial hit to go through full rebuilds. He seems to legitimately care about his teams as more than just a business, and he doesn't have any personal scandals.

The guy's not perfect but we could do a hell of a lot worse.
