Steven Hindle: Caps Extend Holtby & Erskine for 2 More Years ...

Erskine is necessary but paid too much. 1-1.5 max. 6th defensive man are a dime a dozen

think neurvith be traded?

Agreed - I've come to appreciate Erskine with his obvious limitations, but he definitely must have photos of McPhee with a goat.

Maybe - he wouldn't seem to have much value at the moment, though.

Neuvirth is solid, I don't think he's ever going to be great, but he's certainly good enough to win with if surrounded by a decent club.

I was not a fan of the booing Semin every time he touched the puck last night. Criticisms aside, he had some really solid years here - wasn't worth the $7 million that Carolina paid him, but who can blame him for taking that kind of money. His run here was over, but I don't have any bitter feelings toward him.

As a fan you just expect the player to play out the entire contract, not coast through half of it.
