Niskanen Shouldn’t Be Final Move

Earlier today, I shared some not so nice views on the Caps' decision in signing Brooks Orpik to a 5-year, $27.5 million contract. Well, the new GM obviously wasn't done as the Capitals have come to terms with another former Penguin, Matt Niskanen, on a 7-year, $40.25 million contract. With Niskanen's $5.75 mil per season on the books, it leaves the Caps with just over 1 million in cap space.

Change We Shouldn’t Get Behind

When the Capitals made the announcement that former Assistant General Manager Brian MacLellan would be taking over his old boss' place, there was a fair amount of concern that we would be getting the same old deal. With today's mega-signing of Brooks Orpik, I think we are seeing something different in the new GM, but it isn't the good kind of different.
