The Caps have acquired the net presence they've lacked in recent seasons, signing veteran winger Mike Knuble to a two-year deal, according to various reports. Those reports are that the 36-year-old former Flyer will get $2.8 million per. Knuble skated in 82 games in three of the past four seasons, posting 27 goals last season. Waiting on confirmation from the Caps. Various reports also suggest that enforcer Donald Brashear has signed with the Rangers, who, of course, were calling for the tough guy to be suspended for his hit on Blair Betts on two months ago. Brashear will replace Colton Orr, who signed with Toronto earlier in the day. I'll have more on the Knuble signing soon.
