Wheels22 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Gillis gave away more info than he usually does. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpush Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yea for some reason Washington popped into my head when I read that it was someone no one is talking about. I would love to get Johansson or Carlson along with Holtby in a package. That would be a home run IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirk diggler Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 People here focus too much on having the best goalie in the league. You don't need or want that and you can't predict it. Get yourself a solid, blue-collar workhorse who just does his job and focus on more important things like glaring missing pieces like big power forwards and more grinders. Quick, Thomas were not Luongo-level hype machines when they won their Cups. They were confident goaltenders who stepped up when it mattered. Get guys with that kind of character and you will have success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler83 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 For Mike to even say that in a interview a deal must be real close. If it isn't, this is just going to add to the gong show and be more of a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk diggler Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm sick of hearing about what a great guy this or that player is. Of course it's important to some extent but without the other tangibles of being a champion, it hardly matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 since last spring ive always felt washington was the ideal team. As they are in a win now mode, they have the skill upfront and have made the playoffs just havent been able to get to the next level, they lack a top tier goalie. And with Oates behind the bench I think they have a good chance i like their team just not to high on their defense or rookie goalies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Key part. If it's not who anyone thinks it is, I doubt he's talking about Florida. I could see it being the Capitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscience Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I read it as a player involved that no one is talking about (i.e. not Bjugstad or Kadri or Bozak but someone else). The Caps I still don't see unless they've decided they don't have faith in their young goalies. Sounds like you didn't read the whole thing: What about Bryz fits that quote? Excess salary, term and buy out all do. That pretty much rules out Bryz, DiPietro, Komisarek, Lecavalier or any of those types of players..

Soren5556 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm thinking its talks with Tampa with St.Louis or Lecavalier coming back causing the excessive cap issues with some other pieces going each way of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmpunk Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I hope its the Capitals, then I would have no problem cheering for them and they are out of our way. I have been a caps fan for a while since Ovi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
