Washington acquired our friend, Brendan Morrison. Good for Morrison and good for the Caps.
And potentially good for the nucks.
According to Corey Masisak of the Washington Times:
“…the Capitals already control seven NHL-caliber defensemen (eight if you count Karl Alzner),” wrote DMG of Japers’ Rink.
And Washington has some good dmen in the minors.
“The Caps have a myriad of offensively capable blueliners,” wrote Hockey’s Future. “Two-way defenseman John Carlson, slick Sami Lepisto, and creative playmaker Keith Seabrook will help to keep Washington’s power play churning on all cylinders for years to come.”
Let’s forget about Bryan Helmer and Tom Poti.

So, give George a call, Mike. The Canucks need a top 4 to 5 Dman.

There’s a couple of teams (Washington/T.O.) that are overstocked. Gillis is pretty patient and I don’t think he’ll sign an unrestricted free agent just to make a move. But we do need someone who makes that great first pass. And in the “new” NHL ,D-men are very vulnerable to forecheckers blasting them into the end boards…so injuries to your D becomes a concern as well. Our GM has certainly improved our depth at forward and hopefully he takes care of the back end by September.
