Washington Capitals rookie camp, training camp, preseason, and the regular season is almost here and it's time to get fired up. With the Brian MacLellan era over and the Chris Patrick era underway let's breakdown the 3 times GMBM fleeced someone else in a trade.
The Caps are gearing up for 50 years of Capitals hockey and it's going to be a special time of year with fall pretty much here and labor day over.
Here are the top 3 times GMBM fleeced another GM in a trade
#3 Jakub Vrana for Anthony Mantha
Let's put this to bed once and for all with V back on a PTO looking to make the team out of training camp. The Caps won this trade with the Detroit Red Wings from two years ago and the numbers and the speed from Jakub Vrana back it up.
But the beauty of the Anthony Mantha trade is that both sides benefitted, that is the Caps and Vegas Golden Knights, two former GM's handshaking. Spencer Carbery tapped into Mantha's potential which in turn upped his trade value. The Caps would get Logan Thompson over draft weekend and the rest as they say is history. Now it's up to Vrana to get back on the Caps roster and true fans know V has what it takes.
