Good luck to him. At least he's back in hockey. :hearts:

It seems the big 'get' would by Jakob Chychrun if possible for the Caps. Milano and Strome were just signed and not going anywhere. Outside of a dman, I think we are looking at salary dump and picks/prospects to add to the stable. Maybe we will see one more significant trade (Kuzy might fetch us WAY more than he is worth which would be nice) and 77 as well.
I do think they will look to the FA market in the offseason to refill the blue line and just coast 8 to the record. This will be a multi-year retooling for sure.

Good call on Chychrun, but I don't know if the Caps could afford him unless they offloaded Carlson somehow. Wherever he ends up playing, he will be resigning soon for a pile of money, much more than the $4M he's making now. He'll be 25 next month, so he's really young, and you can bet that Arizona will be asking a boatload for him. Would it be worth offloading the 1st and 2nd round picks we just obtained to get him? That's probably what it is going to take. Or would McMichael or Protas be worth jettisoning if it would save us a draft pick? OR maybe TVR?
alta:
At this juncture, I’d be surprised if Hags returns, that salary is in question. He’s a pending UFA at $2.75M per. The Caps still have Brown on IR. He’s listed as a pending UFA. His current contract is $3.6M per. Maybe he’d take just a touch less after missing a year to injury. The couple games we saw him in I liked. Now he’s gotta reprove himself.
and I don’t see anything major happening without a major salary dump. Maybe the hockey gods throw us a bone and Carlson has to retire because of his head injury...
Having 14 guys coming up as UFA/RFA at the same time is ridiculous, and, it’s the GMs fault.

I hate to say it, because I love the heart of the guy, but if we could trade Oshie, that would be huge to dump his salary. He was never a great skater, but age and injuries have taken a toll. He could help somebody in the playoffs though and it seems teams are overpaying, so maybe a 1st for him? His salary though makes it tough.
