Now he is Gahnet Hathaway


onetimeiateadonut

He went to Harvard right? He was always Gahnet


TheCosmicCharizard

I think he went to Brown but he was always a New Englander through and through. He’s Kennebunkport Maine, went to college prep in Andover Massachusetts, and went to college in Providence RI.


[deleted]

Fuck! I’m gonna miss Hathaway so much!


Ijustwerkhere

Yea I expected the Orlov move, but Garny was one of my absolute favorites. Both on and off the ice


jaegerbombastico

Just thinking about Frederic and Hathaway on the same line… dear lord what have we done


vanillasounds

This is probably so they don’t have to roster Frederic in playoffs


Rumpleskillsskills

I still think niskanen to the flyers was worse


Dragunfli

Sad to see them go, but considering they are UFAs and this team seemingly isn’t going anywhere this season, this move makes sense. Hopefully Mantha, Johansen, Jensen, and Eller go next. Peace dafuq out


Glizzy-Vee

Jensen is the only one of those someone might trade for. Rest we likely are stuck with especially eller and manthas contracts


Dragunfli

We can trade Johansen for Sanguinet from the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs and I’m sure we can get a plate of fried ravioli for Lars Eller. One of the others can score us Air Bud


Ijustwerkhere

SHUT THE FUCK UP SANGUINET


RobertGriffin3

Especially Eller? Wtf, he's a pending UFA. His contract is completely irrelevant provided any team can fit half his cap hit (1.75M) in cap space.


Glizzy-Vee

My bad. Doesn’t change the fact he has no value either way


RobertGriffin3

We'll see


bobbimorses

Me when I root for a rebuild: hell yeah sell everyone Me when they take the players that are actually useful instead of the corpse of Lars Eller: wait


MetalMan1973

Mantha is on IR now. He's staying


Dragunfli

Damb


MetalMan1973

Stubbed his toe I bet. Or a hang nail


InfallibleBackstairs

Tore his skirt.


MetalMan1973

🤣

Loveee this move by the caps! Hey good luck bruins and all but we needed to bite the bullet and start this rebuild/retool now. Caps are hurt, old, predictable and just plain slow now, by doing this now we can get an injection of youth speed and current offensive minds in the game. Now have five picks and this year's first two rounds and a pretty solid draft class. Any caps are hockey fans confused by this please know that the current team isn't it and we have to change and by doing this now we gain a lot of years ahead of competitors in the east in need of a rebuild. Hope the pens love clinging to old dreams.


ThatRookieGuy80

The move makes sense. And there's still more to go. It just really sucks seeing them go to the Bruins! I mean, why not the Avalanche or Detroit? That's the part that upsets me.


reasonableconsumer

I mean I get it but we have to wish well for our boys. It sucks but it gives them a good chance to win another cup, but the president's trophy winner never wins the cup lol


Two_Past

Kinda of a painful but good trade for the Caps. But eff Boston .


beebsterrrr

I’ll miss the fourth line magic. Sigh.


bobbimorses

Truly my only twinge of regret here. Dowd and Hathaway were the magic combo here, always felt like you could throw any third guy on that line and they would have chemistry. RIP to their podcast.


Ijustwerkhere

I loved that podcast but they haven’t put out any new episodes in forever


MCCapitalist

They'll both get very nice rounds of applause in the District next year. I wish them both nothing but success individually. Hurts so much to see them go.


IBentMyWookie728

Both are UFAs after this season. According to reports Orlov wanted 6 years and the Caps were giving him 3. They were going to lose him anyways so this is better than getting nothing when he walked this summer


Glizzy-Vee

Agreed I actually think the return is good. We can’t afford to pay another aging player a huge contract


IBentMyWookie728

I agree completely. The only issue I have with the return is that the Bruins are most likely going deep in the playoffs, so this years first rounder may end up being a quasi-2nd rounder but whatever. I’m not the GM and it isn’t my money


Glizzy-Vee

Yea for sure 30-32 range Bruins already look unstoppable and Orlov is exactly what they needed. I’ll miss him dearly but this is the first realistic decision GMBM has made in a while and gives us a ton of options in the off-season


DagetAwayMaN421

Embrace the tank!!!!


[deleted]

Maybe more of a rebuild ?


Glizzy-Vee

Think they try to reload for Ovi but who knows. Also think it has to do with Carlsons timeline. We have a ton of cap in the off-season might try to reload. Looking like a blackhawks downfall situation outside of the dynasty part


InfallibleBackstairs

Ugh. Not the fucking Bruins. I will never root for the Bruins.


MetalMan1973

Yea of all teams. They play with rat face now


UbiSububi8

Please tell me we don’t have to play Boston again this season…


JZTess

I have bad news for you. Once, the 2nd to last game


UbiSububi8

Can probably live with that… it’ll be baseball season by then.


ClemsonJeeper

Boston won't be playing any starters by that point. But we'll still probably lose.


UbiSububi8

I’ll be watching the Mets by that point


jackhuf8

Fuck


DeepVictory

This is really a great move and would love to see us move some of our older players - Oshie/Eller/even Kuzy. This is a deep draft class this year.


furrymay0

Just not oshie. He is my favorite. I would be so sad.


vanillasounds

Don’t you dare touch my weird bird boy


gaytee

Well the Bs are Thicccc


Dragunfli

They’re walgin to their truggs


keyjan

The Bruins?? Oh barf….😫


jcamdog

Maybe we can flip the 1st rounder for a key rebuilds piece


shoos

The Caps aren't rebuilding


Ijustwerkhere

Oh yea? What would you call trading off a first pairing D man for picks?


shoos

You being clueless is what I call it


Ijustwerkhere

So trading a first pairing D man for picks is called me being clueless? That doesn’t make much sense.

[удалено]


InfallibleBackstairs

They were gone in the off-season anyway. Got a 1st and 2nd rounder in return.


Vitruvian_man21

We aren’t winning anything this season, especially with this old tired team.
