mrjsbu96 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I am not going on any rumors, but I just noticed flipping around Center Ice tonight that he is not in the Capitals lineup. Anyone know anything specific on him? From limited time I've seen him, he would be the kind of guy I think would fit in great. Caps need someone to take Ollie Kolzig's spot.....

Rock DJ Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 They said earlier today that he wouldn't dress tonight. No specific reason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Brandon Witt is not the same Brandon Witt we all wanted two years ago. He's not as good in the new NHL. I would much rather have a boatload of other options at defense. He's going at a high price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could name 20 other players i'd like over Witt, but this isn't EA Sports NHL 06... the cpu (aka the other team) isn't just going to trade a top defense man for a prospect and a Mika. Getting Witt for Mika and a prospect would be a really good deal. Prospect, i mean an Amerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather have a boatload of other options at defense. He's going at a high price too. Agreed, after I thought more about this. At first it sounds great because he is a physical defenseman, but I haven't seen many Capitals games this year, and with the new rules I can see him looking a little slow out there. I sat rinkside when the Caps came to town earlier in the year....the night Pyatt had a hat trick....and Witt looked really slow against us, then got frustrated and attacked Vanek and got kicked out of the game. I'd rather see us go after a mobile defender that is smart and can hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit151 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I watched the Caps-Pens on TSN tonight. The announcers said Witt sat out because he will be traded and that Witt was all emotional about it before the game. I agree with what one of you said back there. A couple of years ago I liked Witt a lot, but I don't know if he's any good in the new NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see enough of him to have a good feel for how he is fitting into the new NHL. I like him though, and still am pretty sure I would want him on the team!

Darcy will not give up young quality players for an over-the-hill flat-footed defenseman like Witt. In fact, I don't see Darcy making any trades whatsoever this season.
