Murf at Homer McFanboy is generating some quality Washington Capitals coverage at his formerly mostly-Redskins site. He chatted with Capitals’ GM George McPhee recently; check out GMGM’s candid responses, including the below excerpt:
“I think you get better with experience. Our amateur scouting staff was young when we first hired them and they were making their mistakes early on, but they’ve gotten to be really good. The same could be said about our pro scouting and management. Moves like we made this summer, when we traded [defenseman Steve] Eminger for a first-round pick and turned it into [defenseman John] Carlson, I think that’s going to be really big for this club. They’re not all going to work out, as I’ve explained to ownership, not all the trades or draft picks are going to work out, but if you keep doing the right things often enough, it’ll go the right way.”
