No wonder the Capitals shut down CapFriendly
Confirmed with Link: PLD TRADED TO WASHINGTON for Darcy Kuemper
- Thread starter Live in the Now
- Start date
Rob Blake shot us, but we're grateful he's dressing the wound.
Now we know why Washington had to buy CapFriendly. They needed help keeping track of PLD's contract over the next decade.
Maybe it's cause I live in Winnipeg and I'm tired of hearing everyone overhype that very mid team (not that LA is any better)

The only thing that happened today was Blake taking a manslaughter plea deal instead of rolling the dice on a guilty verdict.
Nothing worth celebrating.

Yes. And Lindgren outplayed him.
Goalies are voodoo though.
I won't surprised if he's terrible. I won't be surprised if he's great.

Congrats Kings fans for getting rid of the cancer PLD. No salary retention!! Great going Caps.
It's like they got rid of Kuznetsov, then said, "How can we top him?"

You can't tell me you didn't feel some joy when you saw the news.
This doesn't absolve Blake, but nothing wrong with celebrating dumping PLD without giving up futures or retention.

F-ing get up and hunt! Cmon Todd!
Maybe Washington will be going to go full tank mode and using PLD to reach the cap floor. Honestly it makes no sense - spitballing

Confirmed Trade: - [WSH/LAK] Pierre-Luc Dubois for Darcy Kuemper (no salary retained)
I gotta say great move for LA. They knew it was a mistake and got out of it. They didnt get stubborn. Washington has a very interesting future lol it's very special indeed of a future for caps. SPECIAL!

Maybe he may get some more miles as GM the excuse being the Pacific Champions Highway is hard to negotiate, driving at Knight with Oil slick.
He was good until last year
He is far more useful than PLD, even if it is to save us purely from PLD's contract and he falls on his face. But I have a feeling getting Kuemper back will provide a slight boost in goaltending but won't be all that different than the past few years. I can see him playing well enough and the team making the playoffs for another first round exit though.
It is a big deal but to get out of PLD and only really losing Vilardi of note in the whole ordeal is at least a brief sigh of relief before Blake makes his next blunder on the quest to win a single round in the playoffs

Vilardi and DurziIt is a big deal but to get out of PLD and only really losing Vilardi of note in the whole ordeal is at least a brief sigh of relief before Blake makes his next blunder on the quest to win a single round in the playoffs
Hopefully ownership fires the front office this offseason.
The Caps are my local and 2nd favorite team. Kuemper fell to Cal levels last season. He needs to go to Ontario unless Blake is secretly tanking this season. Glad PLD is gone.
I see the Durzi deal as a positive
Clarke is the perfect player to fill the risky point producing defenseman role moving forward.All he had to do was sit down for a couple hours and watch one f***ing game of his. Literally any game.

Kuemper never looked comfortable at times in Laviolette's system and dipped even more under Carbery's system. Also the Caps goalie coach is iffy when it comes to goalie coaching vet goalies.
