Being sick and all, I pretty much forgot that today was the NHL trade deadline. Besides, unlike the Great Fire Sale of 2004, I had no reason to suspect that the Caps were going to make any big moves.
Victor just called to disabuse me of that notion.
See, I just don't see the Capitals making the playoffs*, so I don't see the point of a springtime rental like Federov...but it's Ted's money.
And Pettinger, he's been in a heck of an unlucky slump. At least in Vancouver, he won't be coming back to make life hell for us eight games a season for the next ten years when he snaps out of the slump.
Which brings us to...
In my most logical, left-brainy moments, I think, in regards to Kolzig...it hurts me to actually type it...perhaps the time has past. I could say dispassionately about Hanlon, not the coach for this team. So in the same vein, maybe this team...young, offensive, with no fucking defense**...needs a different goalie.
Sentimentally, Kolzig is the last guy on the team in whom I have an emotional investment. I do think he still has skill left to offer a team, but it would need to be a team with a fucking blueline**, and I have been concerned all year that I might not see him retire on Olie Kolzig Day on F Street.
And now, with Cristobal Huet, we have three goalies.
I suppose there are several scenarios that might play out here.
(In one scenario, I go answer the door to find the UPS guy with my Nationals tickets, and I turn my attention to worrying about what's going to happen with first base, given that I love Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young. When will I ever learn?)
*I've been meaning to write about this...they seem to tighten up too much under pressure, is my 5-cent analysis. But hey, I thought they weren't gonna make any deals today, so what do I know?
**I have a hard time staying dispassionate about that part.
