2023 NHL trade deadline
richkrt99:
Right about now, Strome is thinking...."WTF did I just do to my career?"
Good thing Mantha got dinged - maybe they IR him and it will save him being traded and we can keep him forever :wackysmile:
This team HAS to be sellers now right? I mean they CAN'T think they have a shot to progress, right?
capsfanpdx:
boy, what a 5 game skid does for the media! SELL SELL SELL! ORLOV! ELLER! JENSEN! HATAWAY!
We aren't going to the playoffs next year based on this years deadline, but our 'winning' days were with YOUNGER players this year. Get as MUCH as you can of the UFA's and retool the blue line, it just isn't working anymore (soft soft soft).
Excited actually for the next couple years IF we get younger. If they limp this Beer league roster along anymore I might watch a lot more WC play.........

One more thing that has not been mentioned, this the final year of Lavi’s contract. I haven’t been impressed with how he’s dealt with young talent. The goaltending needs better coaching, and the power play desperately needs a fresh approach.
Mickstix:
Yep, I was hoping they'd keep Orlov on D, but if they can get a pick for him, send him! Send anyone who's a FA if you can get something back!
I swear to god, I'd keep Ovi, Nicky (for nostalgia) and Wilson and move every-single-one else that I could. All of em, no exceptions. That includes -all- the coaches and GM.
BlackIce:
The Caps have only 3 games left before the trade deadline. That isn't enough to convince anyone that they are a playoff team this year, even if they play well. But given who the games are against, it sure could be a demonstration of their shortcomings. This is an inflection point for the franchise -- they need to try to make something productive out of it.
Has anyone heard if/when Ovie is returning? If he doesn't come back soon, this team could be headed for an epic collapse, which might not be a bad thing IF they do have a selloff.
OOPS -- Just saw an article that said Ovechkin is back in town, and will probably be in uniform for the next game. It will be interesting to see what kind of lift the team gets from his presence.
