FlappyLappy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/hurricanes-trade-gleason-capitals-hillen/ The Washington Capitals have acquired defenceman Tim Gleason from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for defenceman Jack Hillen and a draft pick. More to come... Not bad for the caps I like this move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic.Canuck Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Good defensive depth for their playoff push. Don't know much about Hillen, can anyone fill me in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillen is more of a depth guy for what I remember, I think he will be given a better shot with the Canes then he did with the Caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Caps are going to look scary in the playoffs with their d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Orpik-Carlson Alzner-Niskanen Gleason-Green my goodness either pairing would easily be a top four pairing on every team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hillen is much more mobile and brings an offensive element to his game, given more opportunity he can be a muc more effective player and contribute. I do like Gleason coming in to solidify the Caps defensively. Trotz has a lot of the right pieces in place to go deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 This thread it is... Good trade for both teams. Washington's D just got scarier. Orpik-Carlson Alzner-Niskanen Gleason-Green *drools* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Damn Washington is looking like they could go on a run if: Holtby plays like he has all year Their secondary scoring starts scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Guys what about a Nashville-Washington final? Scary, but possible. Two teams that just needed a change behind the bench to become powerhouses(I'm oversimplifying, but, you get my point, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer. Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 How's Peters been? Doesn't matter cause he wouldn't start any playoff games unless Holtby gets injured. Come playoff time, Peters will be the bench warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
