November 25, 201411 yr Too bad. I had hoped he'd work out. But is he really worse than Thorburn? $700,000...meh. Might as well clear it off if he's not going to play. For $200,000 in the AHL he will likely help the Caps.
November 26, 201411 yr Yikes, he's done pretty well nothing this season. I'm pretty sure he will clear waivers.
November 26, 201411 yr Not surprised. Hasn't done much at all. -4 too on the season. Not good for a 4th liner to be minus 4. As for Thorburn,not a fan but fact is he's a locker room leader and very good with the young guys. Last few games the 4th line has looked good. Not a fan but constantly going on about thorburn and his 5 minutes of ice time is ridiculous.

Not a fan but constantly going on about thorburn and his 5 minutes of ice time is ridiculous. Not ridiculous at all because it speaks to a bigger issue. The snapshot of a game with the 4th line playing 3-6 minutes is no big deal. But when the coach specifically claims his team collapsed due to fatigue and he further admits he's been riding his top three lines and you realise he has little faith in his fourth line, there is one of two problems. Either the coach is bad or his assesment of the fourth line is correct and they are not good enough for the NHL.
So much for the TJ reclamation project for now.
