I thought that as well, but then the Caps needed out of Laich's contract and this was the only way to do it. This is where having cap space and being in a full tear down rebuild can really benefit you. You can take on bad short term contracts that teams don't want. They do win, but then they are clearly projecting to be terrible again next year, so a fair bit of pain still to go for them.
Wonder if they go back in for Bickell's contract with the Hawks.
