*-> The return on the DJ King deal is Stephan Della Rovere. I'm not too sure on this one for the Washington Capitals. There's several free agents out there that could have filled the void or even a less expensive trade could have worked. By no means is Della Roverre a future superstar but he's projected to be a gritty character forward that could prove usefull in the future for the Caps. The Caps must feel their squad is missing some toughness and intimidation.
*-> Ben Eager has avoided arbitration tonight by signing a 1 year deal worth 965K for the year. I like this addition for the Thrashers but it would have been more productive to try and work a multi year deal. I'm not a fan of these quick one year deals to avoid arbitration especially if the player has potential to have a really good year. For some of these guys who make sense but the ones with potential or value it doesn't. The price tag then doubles when if a multi year deal could have been obtained some money would be saved. Every dollar counts in this cap world.
