He stole my joke!

One reason that I can see why Washington did this is that they gave up zero long-term assets and just got much younger. Though that contract is a huge risk, if it pans out they got a young top-6 center as the older parts further age out.

PLD appears to be a bonafide cancer at this point.

Yikes.

 

[Pia8988]

Rob Blake is a bottom 5 GM

 

[K Fleur]

PLD leaves Cali for the even more glamorous lifestyle I. Washington DC





Just kidding DC sucks.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Hope you like Washington for the lifestyle PL lol loser.

 

[Xirik]

Yet some Habs fans will continue to want to trade for PLD.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Lol Washington, what're you guys doing

f*** you Washington. That contract was a team sinker for LA. Horrendous, horrendous trade Jesus Christ.

 

[seafoam]

So he whined to get traded to LA only to be traded to WSH what 12 months later?

That's a wake-up call if I ever saw one...

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Capitals?

Now I really hate em.

 

[McMozesmadness]

I’m in shock right now

Why would Washington help out the Kings like this

One of the dumbest deals I’ve ever seen

 

[sepHF]

Wow the Capitals did the Kings a massive favour

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Blake should've given up the PLD package for Helly and it would've saved him multiple headaches at once lol

 

[timmeh]

LA lost the PLD trade the day it was made with Winnipeg... now we have a #1 goalie (which was the biggest hole) without PLD's albatross contract on the books for 200 years. its a win win for LA considering the position

In what world is Darcy Kuemper a #1 goalie?

 

[SKNJD9]

...... wtf

 

[hockeykicker]

Do the Capitals not know about his contract? Take a look at Capfriendly, y'all own it.

i mean kuemper is basically an ahl goalie making tons of money too

Kuemper lost his starting job to a career backup and was generally awful since his time in Colorado. I would not want to be the team betting on him as a starter. This is a cap dump for a cap dump.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

If the scf really does go to game 7, then the draft will be 4 days later. Terrible scheduling imo.

The NHL = bushleague.

Dude's alarm clock is just background noise at this point.

Blake likely saved his career
