Cue the Lalo Schifrin Theme Music

Good morning, Mr. Peerless. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves the clandestine observation of hockey prospects gathering in Arlington, Virginia, and the reporting of same to your superiors. The Washington Capitals are taking extraordinary measures to ensure that certain of their prospects are not identified by name. Consider this exchange between a Capitals operative and a representative of the Capitals community that was intercepted on Tuesday (names have been redacted in the interest of security)...



Although the details will be left to you on mission complement, it is not advised that you select any team members for this mission owing to the importance for secrecy. As always, should any member of your team be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. And Mr. Peerless, make sure the battery in your camera is working today...

This message will self-destruct in five seconds.

Strange...it's not like the press that Hauswirth got last year managed to get him drafted.

(The folks over at the Hockey Future board have compiled a list of the free agent invitees. It's about halfway through the thread. Also, I think Capitals Kremlin has a list.)

If you publish any top secret information on this blog, the entire Washington Capitals community will hold you responsible if we fall short of the Cup this season. You have been warned.....
