Yea, I was trying to see if there was a third “A” last night and didn’t see one. Teams used to make note of who was wearing the letters on their websites, they stopped doing that when the nhl changed its webpage layout. I haven’t found anywhere else that regularly and reliably reports this.


Lines from this morning’s practice, Carbs is cooking spaghetti again. No word on Duhaime either, hopefully just a maintenance day..

I would like to see more of McIlrath, especially when we need some grit.

Shittsburgh is occupying the cellar of the division.  :)

They have 4 regulation wins this season.  (as do the Sharks, Flyers)
Need Montreal to win their next game (3 in hand over Hens) and the Hens will be worst in the Eastern Conference.
If Montreal, Chicago, Nashville all win their next game, Hens will be worst in all the NHL. :uh-huh:

Yea, but it’s too early in the season to rule them out. They’ve turned it around before to everyone’s surprise.

I'd be thrilled with 5th worst in NHL. Do not need them picking 1st in the draft..

Pens used to be a well run organization. Not sure how they will do now with their hot shot GM, but they may be in the mode of tanking again for 2 or 3 years and lucking into a couple number one picks.  It would be nice though to see Cindy have to retire while they are at the bottom.

OK, now I'm starting to get greedy.


It certainly was a good move to get Eller back here to bolster the third line.  But once Ovie returns, I still think we are most unsettled there, even though we have numbers now.  Plus, if there is a shortage on this team, it is natural right wings.


I just saw some stories about the Rangers wanting to shake things up.  There were a few players mentioned that they could move, and one of them is Kaapo Kakko, age 23, a natural right wing who was the #2 pick in the 2019 draft and has played in the NHL since he was drafted.  He has played on the 3rd line this season, and currently has a $2.4 million cap hit, I believe.  I would LOVE to have this guy with Eller and Mangiapane as L3, and let's go.  It leaves Vrana/Lapierre/Miroshnichenko swinging in the wind, but perhaps one of them could go as part of a trade for him.  Another guy I'd throw in is Alexeyev - the Rangers are currently stronger on the right side of the defense than the left, maybe they'd give him a chance, because the Caps sure aren't. 


The question is, should the Caps make a move like this and maybe lose a bit of their depth and a young potentially breakout player or players, but really solidify the starting lineup?  Is the team good enough to justify making a move like this?  One reason I might do it is because Iorio is, I think, having a good season at Hershey and could serve as depth even this season.
