Talk about Capitals hockey & more! > General Discusion Anything But Hockey
The all inclusive boredom thread for everyone… even Rich
waynerivers:
This team needs work everywhere but I'd build from the defense out. Michkov is going to be gone before #8 anyway unless we trade up but we have limited trade goods as it is. I saw an article on RMNB where some guy was floating a rumor of Wilson to Ottawa. Not sure there's any credence to that and Wilson is one guy I wouldn't be anxious to move. Let's see what he looks like with another full year of recovery time. OTOH, I'd have no problem with moving Kuz in the right deal. Carson Soucy is an interesting FA possibility on defense, too.
richkrt99:
So assuming Kuzy gets moved...what are WE doing for a #1/2 center? I mean Strome picked up his game and all, but Strome being your teams top talent at center isn't impressing anybody, and what about Lines 2, 3, 4? Okay, we have 4, but what about 2 & 3?
I wouldn't be surprised if Caps brought Eller back at 3c if he doesn't get a decent offer somewhere else. Not that it helps our aging problem.
I don't see Backy as a 1C or 2C. At best he is a 3c at this point. Unless he finds a miracle cure for his skates that appear to be melting into the ice when he skates
Mickstix:
GMBM debunked the latest Wilson rumors again today. Not sure where that keeps coming from. Wishful thinking by desperate teams I guess.
Is Michkov a Center or a Wing? We're in certain need of a 1C. Though not sure how much that'll matter until we can shed some more age and salary. Still got a few lean years ahead Im afraid.
Beaglefan2:
Michkov is a RW. I love hearing all these guys on the radio rave about him when none of them has seen him play. I think that Ted has a little bit of Snyder in him and might want to go after the Russian phenom - we'll see.
As far as moving Kuzy, I think they would only do that if they end up in a bind on the Cap, or if somebody blows them away with an offer. I also think that they would consult Ovi and if he wants Kuzy here, he stays. Maybe Ovi though is tired of him.
I really hope that they free up enough money to sign Fever to a long term deal - 7 or 8 years at a reasonable number.

Round 1 is tonight at 7pm.
