No one was taking that salary with the body of work he’s compiled this year. He’s a nice guy and I’m rooting for him but Lindgren is playing circles around him; and I’m glad Chuckie stayed in DC
@@GriffGruff7088I agree, seems like a real nice guy. Just a bad signing in my opinion. Gotta be hard to be an NHL Goaltender with and infant. Hope he can come back, or try to move him this summer.
Beggars can't be choosers. Retaining Mantha's salary for the rest of this season barely affects us. The return is still solid for an expiring UFA guy who would've possibly cleared waivers a year ago.
Funny we couldn’t give him away earlier. He’s a streaky player and a good finisher. If he used his size like Protas he would be very formidable. I personally love all the cap space we gained. 9 million from Backstrom, 4 from Kuzy and 5 from Mantha will go a long long way. Leonard could probably fill Manta’s shoes next year. Another years growth for McMichael, LaPierre, Protas, Miroschnichenko, Alexeev and the future ain’t too bad. Carlson looks great, Ovie is slowly getting it back together the farm is stocked. It’s not bad at all.
@@waynethera2712 Also if you could get him to fight a bit more that guy looks like a bad ass .Did you catch that beat down he gave on Nick Cuzins lmao. He beat his arss. Also that line he was on was maybe the best the Caps had
@@bobnewfart7630 yea he’s a big strong fella for sure, but it was all too late. If he performed that way last year he would have received an extension. Sometimes you gotta cut and run.
Wish we could have traded Kuemper.

You and me both! I was hoping.
Should've gone for peanuts

It was an interesting deadline for the team. I think what would have been more interesting is if we had received a prospect or a young player.
To get a 3rd for kuzy is a miracle
Not if he’s playing well. If he can get it together it’s a steal. But that’s a big IF right? If nothing else, he’ll help them win shootouts ☺️
@@MonicaDBrini i really cant see him fitting in to carolinas style but time will tell
@@Mattejayy True. I wish him only the best wherever he ends up.
@@MonicaDBrini me too
Can you give media microphones please? GMBM is way too loud if I want to even hear what they ask
Что не делается , всё к лучшему.
Best thing we got out all this was a 2nd, and a pair of 3rds. Got rid of players and retained a bunch of salary. Meh...
I felt like we could’ve gotten more or traded more guys like Lindgren, Dowd and Pacioretty but the way are team is right now we need to rebuild ASAP
Pay attention to the major players. Don't pay attention to the minority.
Wished Kuemper went for peanuts :-/
He got the d!ck on Mantha that was a bad trade folks.. AM was maybe there best player this year looked like the Captain to me

@@waynethera2712 Protas man I just don't know about him .He should be better he plays so stiff

Fire GMBM!
grow up
Insane take. He’s great.
Insanely stupid comment, anyone who ACTUALLY watches this team knows what he, and his staff has done for us
Lol we got 3rd 2nd and 4th for two guys who couldn't do anything with a year from today and everyone wanted them gone talking kuzy and mantha
