That's all she wrote

Another trade deadline has passed, and the Capitals were surprisingly quiet.  Despite Alex Ovechkin's resurgence, the smart money says his best years are behind him, which means there is time for two, maybe three more runs before a serious roster shakedown has to occur.

However, with MacLellan on an expiring contract, one would imagine a major shakeup, an institutional move, like the Erik Karlsson rumors that were swirling over the past several days.

But with no apparent Hail Mary to save his job, the Capitals quietly slipped through the deadline with two moves for depth defensemen.

Not that we are mad about this.  There is no sense in mortgaging the future failures to fail again this season.
