receives:

Dennis Wideman, $3.7m (2015-16)
Round 3

recieves:

Luke Schenn, $3.9m (2015-16)

confirms this deal.  Before they actually play today at high noon, favo and I met up and made a simple little deal.  Wideman is a cap throw in.  I most likely wasn't going to re-sign Schenn, so I get a nice pick for him.  Thanks favo for the easy deal!  Go Caps! 

Arizona is buying out the contract of the following player:

LW Jiri Tlusty, $6.7m (2017-2018)

$6.7m x 3 years left on the contract = $20.1m

$20.1 x 66% = 13.3m

Please put all the buyout on this fiscal year. 

Just wondering your guy's thoughts.

I have never been a huge NHL fan until about 6 years ago.  I live and die with the Caps, and always have a game on the TV. 

I wasn't huge on the 3-on-3 format at first, but I have watched every second on the game so far. The John Scott-Patrick Kane "fight" just happened. Corny, for sure...but also awesome! 

I think the NHL has a great format here.  Seems like more defense is being played, and players seem to care a little more.  I also like the East vs. East, West vs. West, and Winner vs. Winner.

All in all, I think it is a great change. 

Please take Eric Fehr off of IR please!
