How attached are you to Brooks Laich?

Laich is the goods. I had him last time......for awhile.

Do we know where we can find the player ratings yet? He's good in real life, I don't know how his style will translate though.

Trust me, it is a klondike gold rush to find those stats by millions of people right now ...

How available is Alexander Semin?

If I get blown across the room in a trade offer, I would consider it, but he's quite a valuable player - particularly in a sim.

I need a number one D-man of high quality. I would consider a one for one, but don't feel badly if I reject the offer (I always feel bad rejecting trade offers for some reason :^^^^: ).

I may not have him or be able to afford to give him up, but how do you feel on Kaberle

I have one of those, his first name is Shea, but a one for one just doesn't feel right.

The Washington Capitals have agreed to two trades.



Roster has been updated pending approval on September 1st (...by someone other than me obviously)

The Caps have agreed to another trade this morning.

Roster to be updated soon.

Roster updated.

The Caps are pleased to announce they have acquired Rick Dipietro and further hope that he will bolster their goaltending for the next 200 years (or however long he's signed for).

Bold move....atleast in Sim he won't be retired this year :n:

Yeah...that's the thought. If he actually retires, I've got a decent sized issue to deal with. But...all in good time.

The Washington Capitals are pleased to announce they have come to terms with a trade with the Detroit Red Wings.

Joining the Capitals will be Slava Kozlov ( ) and Justin Abdelkader.

Joining the Red Wings will be Mike Knuble and Eric Fehr.
