They should be an interesting team to watch for the next decade (or however long Alex Ovechkin's contract is).
Raise your hands if you were the only guy in DC with a lower approval rating than George W.1. Which player, for the love of God, do you NOT want to see in your team's sweater in the 09-10 season?
Michael Nylander. The problem is that Nyls is signed for another two years and has a contract that epitomizes dead weight. GMGM has tried everything to get rid of this guy, who right now is a $5.5 million scratch (at least for the playoffs). Granted, there's still a little more than three months until the season starts, but Nylander stands out more than just about anybody.
(If you get the sense that I pick on Nylander at every opportunity, you're right. But he's really dead weight at this point. Seriously, I'd rather have an AHL player on the team than this guy. The Caps should have let him be Edmonton's problem when they had the chance.)
2. Conversely, pick a potential move by another team that would just crush your soul/favorite team's chances.
It would be AWESOME if the New York Rangers and/or Philadelphia Flyers continued their free-spending ways. Oh wait, that happened already with the Flyers totally overpaying for an aging Chris Pronger. GM George McPhee thankfully wasn't baited into another bad deal (see Jagr, Jaromir) and passed on trading for a good player, albeit one who is past his prime.
