Caster Makes Move, Trades Isbister, Stoll, Pick to Leafs for Colaiacovo and Wolski

Ryan Caster

GM, Washington Capitals

Today, the Capitals organization announced that they have completed a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs. In a four player swap, the Capitals acquired defensive prospect Carlo Colaiacovo and left wing prospect Woitek Wolski in exchange for LW Brad Isbister, C Jarret Stoll and a 2nd Round pick in the 2007 entry draft. The Capitals are in full rebuild mode and they made a major move for the future today by acquiring two top tier prospects in Colaiacovo and Wolski.
GM Caster expects both players to make the jump to the big club this season and will hopefully earn tons of playing time as they develop. The Caps started the season 0-3 and will not be a playoff team this season, but once the youth gets put into the lineup it should give the Caps fans some excitement. These two prospects, along with the arrival of Sidney Crosby should give the fans plenty to talk about as well as some hope for the future.
