From a couple of Caps forums
they are looking at the Oshie trade as if it is the 2nd coming

From the commentary I remember from the experts on here last season, this move, along with getting rid of Jackman, will solve all of the Blues problems now. With Hitch the Genius at the helm and those two gone it will be Cup time in the Lou. Right Griff?

Hell yeah!!! Fork Oshie......he's never done chit in the NHL and was nothing but a big mouth know-it-all problem on the team.
Good riddance!!
Great hands, big mouth, can't skate, completely disappears in the playoffs. Buh-bye!!

One of my twins is a rabid hockey fan. She hates Oshie.
She is broke up laughing because a couple of days ago his wife was on twitter going on about her new 74 tattoo.....my daughter says that number is taken in Washington.
Don't ask me.....I don't know twitter or Washington....but I'm sure glad his ass is gone!! This is a very good day for Blues hockey.

I wouldn't have cared if the Blues traded that azzzhole for a bag of hammers.
I remember Fetch going on and on about how much we would love Oshie since fetch had followed him at N. Dakota........I shoulda known.

FEtch had/has a definite man crush on Oshie (formerly of the North Dakota Fighting Souix)
and we all know he is the perfect reverse indicator

Yep - Oshie and Jackman are gone we are Stanley Cup bound!!
Wake me up when the Note gets out of the first round of the playoffs. Until then I ain't paying attention. The Genius's rep is based on the regular season wins and two years in Dallas a long time ago.

Seriously?
If I was that first kids parent I would have just shut the closet door and left the kid in there.
If I was that 2nd kids parent I would slit my own wrists.

On the face of it it's not too exciting of a trade. I'm sure the Caps fans think they just knocked over a brinks truck but unless a new TJ emerges from this deal they will soon find out he's more sizzle than steak.
The real deal here is to free up the money to sign Tarasenko. The real deal is to get aligned right on the ice and off. Oshie was making 4.5 mil and imo he was a or played like a 3rd line player. That's forked up. Give some of the young forwards their shot. No proof of it but I think Oshie was a problem in the locker room and with him gone this team will take on a different look and feel next season.
With his 9 mil off the books there's now room to sign Tarasenko.
As for Hitch staying and Oshie leaving well surprise surprise.
And as for those advocating getting rid of Hitch that's a position I have no problem with either but two things about that:
Who again was going to replace him?
And secondly, it was time for Oshie to go no matter who the fork is behind the bench.
I don't think the Blues are done trading. But I can't think of any one player to move that can have the impact of getting rid of this guy.
Oh and imo if Jax finds the market tough and wants to come back for a million five he can have the 6 spot on this team anytime he wants.
