Dougall Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 He was the salary dump but still a decent d man. Colorado is looking to move this year building in last so they may keep him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill0755 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Don't be too surprised if Orpik resigns with Washington after he is bought out by. Colorado at a very low salary. Please Penguins DO NOT sign him at ANY salary, as his best days are long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having a hard time hating some of the decisions the Capitals management have been making. This was SMART. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, you would love to have Grub down in Carolina because I think the competition between him and Darling does them a lot of good. What do you do now? Maybe take a look at Bernier? Mrazek? I think Carolina really needs a 1a/1b goalie situation and not for the "who is our starter" controversy, but to light a fire under Darling's ass because he clearly came into that situation thinking that the crease was his.

djb738 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Some of the names being tossed around make me a bit nervous just based off of past history with the Hurricanes. We have a bad history with signing backup goalies that show some potential and they never amount to anything. I agree, we need someone to push Darling. From what I have heard Darling has shown a commitment to try and turn things around. It was reported that he was 15 pounds over where they would have liked him to be. Did that contribute? Not sure. It has been said though that he was staying in Carolina this summer to really work on his conditioning. There are a number of goalies I wouldn’t mind seeing the team sign at the right price. More proven are Bernier and Lehner and I don’t mind either one. I think Lehner is a little under rated playing behind that terrible Sabres D. I still Mrazek has some upside and has shown glimpses in the past. Hutton is also an intriguing name. We need to do something though. As well as Cam performed last year I’m not sure it is a good idea to keep him around. We need change and the ability to move forward.
