GM Ron Hextall says:
* Kasperi Kapanen 10-14 days from return
* Evgeni Malkin 2-3 weeks from return
* Brandon Tanev unlikely to be back before playoffs
* C/RW Jeff Carter will be “here a year and change”

poopty news on Tanev.

Yah, they did. Vrana is freaking good. Adding Panik, a 1st and a 2nd. Good haul for Detroit.

Yeah I thought he was close. Now Kapanen is slated to be back first and he’s not even that close. Pretty crummy.

Yeah by all accounts before it seemed Kap was the one maybe out the longest. Glad him and geno are back before the end of the month. Hopefully tanev is back for game 1.

Yeah I’m pretty happy about it.

Pretty sure we would be over the cap by about 2.5 mill if everyone is healthy no? If we are I bet Tanev is ready to go game 1

Due apologies. Hextall did not say 2-3 weeks for Malkin return; Hextall said before playoffs.

I’ve heard 2-3 weeks for return (to practice). Sorry, long day and I mixed it up.

(frank) that’s even worse

Wtf that sucks

Uhh yeah

I think he's still mis-speaking. He's expected back before the playoffs. That's all that matters. As long as he can get a few games in we should be good.

Am I crazy or is Mantha really not that big of an upgrade over Vrana?

My basic summary. Mantha is more complete. Vrana is more dynamic. Basically a lateral move.

I mean Mantha/Raffl> Vrana/Panik. Caps overpaid but that doesn't effect us. It's the on ice product.

Yeah, it seemed more of a lateral move to me.

I like Raffl. He's a slight upgrade over Panik, but I don't see this as a real big move for WSH. I think they (frank)ed up.

The only pro I see for Washington is the known cap of Mantha vs Vrana being a RFA and dumping Paniks cap.

I think that was the bigger part of the Panik deal which is good for them money-wise, but I can't see Vrana getting paid more than Mantha.

Pens definitely got Carter in time since Freddy is now injured lol

Wanna see some horrible takes head on over to the wings thread.
