The Caps d has been poor and anyone who steps up and becomes a leader will likely be rewarded with ice time. Plus he's getting to play alongside Alex Ovechkin and fellow country man Nicklas Backstrom. I'd say there's alot of motivation for Kronwall to show what he can do given the opportunity he's been given.Reed-CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200249604415660177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930784564242369575.post-22665605805020513512009-02-06T17:06:00.000-05:002009-02-06T17:06:00.000-05:00He did play for Toronto, 52 games, but wasn't a cl...He did play for Toronto, 52 games, but wasn't a clear stand-out. Sounds like he's a monster in the AHL, but at the NHL level he's unproven.<BR/><BR/>I believe the salary we are paying him is less than 100,000 for the remainder of the season and that price, I say a resounding pass.<BR/><BR/>We can use him, and lose him if he doesn't pan out.Reed-CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200249604415660177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930784564242369575.post-34516007080110816492009-02-06T17:02:00.000-05:002009-02-06T17:02:00.000-05:00He didn't get to play in NHL in Toronto and if he'...<I>He didn't get to play in NHL in Toronto and if he's not good enough to Toronto I doubt that he would be good enough to Capitals, so I'm kinda confused what they're going to do with him...</I><BR/><BR/>I think that's kind of faulty logic, just like it'd be faulty logic to, two years ago, say of a left wing "this guy can't even get a regular shift in Washington, he must be terrible" if the guy had been buried behind Ovechkin and Semin on the depth chart. It's not a perfect analogy but Toronto's defense isn't half bad.<BR/><BR/>I give the move a resounding 'pass'. It didn't cost the Capitals anything in the way of picks or prospects, the cap hit is minimal (literally) and his contract is up after this season. It's basically a no-risk proposition. If he works out, great. If he doesn't, no big deal.DMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737116968841961638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930784564242369575.post-39358782350162455702009-02-06T15:26:00.000-05:002009-02-06T15:26:00.000-05:00He didn't get to play in NHL in Toronto and if he'...He didn't get to play in NHL in Toronto and if he's not good enough to Toronto I doubt that he would be good enough to Capitals, so I'm kinda confused what they're going to do with him...slezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429524776084524794noreply@blogger.com
