Capitals place Brooks Laich on waivers

Brooks Laich, placed on waivers today by the #caps, has one season remaining beyond this one with a $4.5M cap hit ($4M in actual salary).

Making room?

If Brooks Laich clears waivers and is assigned to AHL, #Caps will clear $950,000 annual space, enough to activate Jay Beagle from LTIR.

Guess not.

Burrows 2.0

Likable player but getting old and doesn't produce anymore

Very interesting! Hammer would be a great fit for them. I know JB really wants to get a d-man back, but I'm secretly hoping for vrana.

Sekac claimed off waivers by Yotes

Apparently only 6 teams didn't try to pull him off waivers. Vancouver put in a bid according to General Fanager

Morning gents.

Would you guys be interested in Yak? Seems like you guys have done alright with Bearschi. This could be Bearschi 2.0.

JB only wants d men now... The oilers could offer mcjesus and JB would still reject it because it's not a defenseman.

No that's just him. His Babcock rants have been epic.

Really? Would you be willing to discuss it at length?

I sure could....

You may as well, nothing else happening on here yet

I'm trying to save my speech in case JB does something really (frank)ing stupid by the deadline. Not good for the blood pressure if you fight all the battles

They sure do need to move Edler
- Bullfrog77

You don't say?
Why, pray tell.... actually don't
If we are minus Edler or Hamhuis at the start of next season we will be looking at a top 2 pick.
Need to resign him either as a UFA or if he doesn't waive then lowball him.

Do you see a problem with picking 2 nd overall?

I really hope that Hansen is traded for the right deal. We have said for weeks he will bring back the best return.
- VANTEL

There is no way he should get a better return than hamhuis could ...he is having a career year at 30 with the twins ...I think fans are overvaluing him a bit ...also I think hamhuis is being undervalued by mist of the media outside Vancouver

It is 2 days before the deadline and he hasn't waived. That is the big difference

And the teams which are willing to pay the price are dwindling.

Still his value if he waived would be far greater than Hansen ...

There is nothing going on in Twitter from the insiders, zero mentioning other than a few hopeful fans.

I don't see Hamhuis as they type to make a snap decision on a last minute offer.

Sounds like Russell is going to be a bruin or penguin so there's one more D man most likely off the market if true

Do you see a problem with picking 2 nd overall?

- VANTEL

Not this year, but I am against formulating a (tank)lineup at the beginning of the year that is Oilerish in competability.
Without Hamhuis Our top 6 (no good UFA's this year) would be
Edler Tanev
Sbisa Hutton
Peden Biega
Tyk/Larsen

With Hamhuis

Edler Tanev
Hamhuis Hutton
Sbisa Biega
Peden/Larson

Peden might be a player, as may be Larson, keep the depth. Start Tyk in the A until he's ready. Trade someone if he is. Asset management
Hamhuis> Biega, Sbisa, Peden, Larson, Hutton(for now at least)

Still his value if he waived would be far greater than Hansen ...
- Redmile247

Yes and it would be far lesser if he didn't waive, which he hasn't done yet.

I know his value. I don't see him waiving. He has never given one indication about being excited to take a run at a cup. He has come out and said he likes it in Vancouver.

If it happens it happens
