Caps are down to 30. Parascak is 18, too young for Hershey/AHL.

2 of the 30 are Backy and Oshie, so the Caps only need to trim 5 more players.

As I’ve said before, I don’t have a tv in the kitchen and I’m not gonna put a tv in the kitchen.
Mickstix:
Your TV don't have sound? :huh: :raspberry: (Though the radio is MUCH better for color commentating than any of the guys on TV) Dave Moody, Mike Bagley and Co. still going strong on MRN.. Just wish I could get it to synch with the TV, I'd never have to hear Lee Duffy or whoever they're using now, again.. :smirk:

Current Roster is 18 forwards (16 excluding Backie & Oshie), 9 D, 3 GT
Subtract one goalie (Shephard) and technically they need to trim only 4 more players to get to 23
they wont carry 9 D so basically you are looking at 1 D and 3 wingers get moved (unless the Caps only carry 7 D, but I'd expect they carry 8)
McIlrath might be the natural choice for D, but honestly I like his play. He seems to have more impact than Bear, but here's where that whole waiver thing might come into play. Based on what i read on the waiver rules, moving McIlrath to Hershey - he doesn't have to clear waivers and all others would. McIlrath might be more of a playofff type D man...he's not the best puck mover, but he sure could clear the crease. Today's NHL wants mobile puck movers on D, so who knows?
RMNC had a write up and basically the forward lines are pretty set with the exception of 3LW. With that in mind you have these 5 guys wanting that spot.
Sgarbossa: He's toast. He seem like a solid guy, but he just doesn't make the cut compared to the others
Cristall: I think he has played well, but his age (19) actually hurts him here...he either has to stay with NHL or back to WHL...too young to move to Hershey). I think the Caps will NOT want to burn a whole year of ELC status to test the waters with him (but then WTF do I know). They do have 10 games before making that decision
Miro: Has played solid and I like his game...he's aggressive and not afraid to hit guys and is always trying to score...reminds me of a young Ovi in his style of play. Won't do him any good to make the squad and then sit and watch. Play him or send him back to AHL.
Vranna: His best upside is ...his speed and drive to score, and he has NHL experience. They kind of know what he was years ago and he appears to be the same. Problem is he tends to be defensively irresponsible and I think that doesn't work with Carbs. I think he might be toast.
Milano: only throw him in because his preseason play has left openings for others. He and Vranna are similar styles of play, but Milano seems to at least bump n grind a bit more.
The Caps have room for this undecided 3LW and one extra. I'd assume Milano makes it so to me it comes down to Vranna or Miro
FFS someone's bored
Mickstix:
How many games did Bear play for us? I don't recall a single thing he did that made me want to see more, tbh. I remember hype, is about all..
So Miro, Milano and Vrana? I don't think they'd hesitate to put Miro back in Hershey for another year. They have ties to Milano. Vrana I figured was a lock, but if he's not really impressed in preseason then I imagine it'll be Milano. (Just a guess, seeing as how I've not paid any attention since last season)
