How can you praise Rob Blake for first trading two good young prospects to get PLD, second fixing his OWN mistake by trading him a for at best a substitute goalie.
The Kings evaluated what he was a team member and moved on. The NMC means he will be a Capital for the rest of his career unless the Caps buy him out before it kicks in and they get a reduced cap hit. Two teams with lousy contracts trying to get some benefit.
Why does TSN insist on using that thumbnail of Haye's that makes him look a 20-something heart throb crooner? The man should embrace his 40-something age and move on with life.
Money is not the issue, his contract is huge. Sounds like a flake (don't know him); reminds of some guys I played with. I would have given the left one for half their talent. They always teased you with what could be but never is.

PLD is a cancer. What a selfish, entitled man. you can bet that PLD will demand a trade at least two more times during the life of this contract
But what I can't wait to find out is what he'll insist on being called. Will it still be PL? Maybe Luc? Pierre? Pierre L?
a good chunk of the top end of that draft class was nfg … Laine , PLD , Puljujarvi ,Juolevi , all went top10
had a great worlds for Canada, just needs to be in the right spot. He would probably be great in Montreal, but not at 8 million
Dreger is a Marner camp shill. And hayes's promo photo funny as fugg

Blake must be friends with Dubas
Great talent and a locker room cancer

"He can fight"…??? When does he EVER fight? Du-blah is a whiny overrated player.

Washington making a trade to get Dubois proves the old saying is still true – ”There's a sucker born every minute”.
I'd say it's more of an indictment of the Capitals. They will again miss the playoffs.
Maybe Dubois next gets traded for Kevin McDonald….
Who is worse? PLD, or the suckers?
PLD is a solid player but he's a complimentary guy, he isn't THE guy or your core centre.
as a caps fan, I think im gonna vomit
Weird praise for Blake on a deal that will likely cost him his job
Washington should trade him to Philadelphia so he can be coached by Torts again.
more play without puck? team coverage in defense zone? transition offense passing?
The damage was done. 3 everyday NHL'rs and 2nd round pick – for Darcy Kuemper basically…
Cant give Blake credit for this. They basically traded 3 roster players and a 2nd for Kuemper.
Thank you WSH! -Love, LAK
