My favorite acquisition was Milan Jurcina, he’s back for his 2nd stint with the Caps, a young defenseman with a lot of potential. Milan has 7 points in 44 games with a +2 rating with the Blue Jackets this season.
Another defenseman, with a little bit more experience, specially in the last two playoffs. This season with the Hurricanes, Joe Corvo has 12 points in 34 games and is a minus 6.
On pace to set career highs in points, goals and assists this season, Eric Belanger is a good hard working 3rd liner that has 30 games of playoff experience under his belt. Eric has 35 points in 60 games this year with the Wild.
The Caps also got a seasoned veteran with over 800 regular season games in the NHL in Scott Walker. This season with the Hurricanes he has 5 points in 33 games and is a minus 4. He just returned from injury yesterday, his first game of 2010.
Washington added some quality players and all it cost us to get these four players is Brian Pothier, Oskar Osala, a 2010 and a 2011 2nd round pick, a 2010 6th round pick, and 2010 7th round pick.
It’s obviously these moves have been made to improve our chances for this year in the playoffs and to make a serious run at the Cup.
Not sure if any of them will be in the line up tonight, but I know Mike Green will.
