B21 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I just threw up some of my morning coffee... https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/capitals/capitals-reportedly-interested-acquiring-blackhawks-g-marc-andre-fleury?cid=Yahoo&partner=ya4nbcs There's no ex-Pen I root harder for than MAF but man...this would be asking a lot.

Mad Dog Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Well, Samsonov seemed to be falling out of favor with Lavy for quite some time. And from this, I am guessing they don't have much faith in Vanecek, either. So I can see why the Caps would want to upgrade that position. But this is a big hit to the salary cap. Plus, I don't think it's a long-term investment since MAF is not a spring chicken. I also don't think the Caps are contenders this year, which is what this trade would lead us to think. If they are so down on both of their goalies, why not bring the kid slowly and see what he can do first? They have a decent prospect in Zach Fucale in the system. All in all, doesn't make sense.

flyercanuck Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This deal has Fletcher written all over it. Hart and a 2nd for 37 year old Marc Andre. It'll be good to have a classy vet to show the younger goalie the wa....whoops...what'd we do with Hart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
