Caps @ Blues 10-27-2007 Wrap Up

There was no post-mortem last night because I went to the awful Maryland-Clemson game and did not get a chance to watch the entire hockey game.

The Local Yokels:

(Com)Post: Caps fall, an extension for Alexander Semin. Times: Caps buried, Semin extension. Caps.com.

The Neutral Observers:

NHL.com AP Wire.

The Other Side:

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Boyes lifts, different Johnson waived, Bluenotes.

Final Thoughts:

With the extension to Semin, the Caps now have over $24 million committed to about 13 players next season with of course, A.O. (who is now alone in 28th on the All-Time list and 3 points behind Jeff Halpern in 27th) and Olie Kolzig as the big names still needing contracts for next season. This year the Caps are spending roughly $40 million and along with A.O. and Olie, there are 10 other Free Agents to contend with but something tells me that Brian Sutherby and Steve Eminger are not in the plans for this team beyond this season.

10 down, 72 to go.
