He really looked miles behind the game last season, and just doesn't have the juice to produce any longer. Last season, it would have been a good move. Now? No...the Caps need to let their young guns get the ice time. If the Caps spend money, it should be to improve their woeful defense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882752106662170837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-85668930412246839612007-07-09T11:54:00.000-04:002007-07-09T11:54:00.000-04:00Bondra as a scout one day?
