I knew they should've gotten another Dman at the deadline. Not having Kemney made that obvious. I suppose there is still hope that Carlson lives up to his contract. There just might be reason to keep Orpik one more year. DSP looked good for two games. The offseason will be interesting.
At least they didn't get swept like some other team did

So not to rub salt about the season being over, but...
What moves would you like to see and what moves do you think the Caps can actually accomplish in the off season? Lots of work to do with many contracts up. With all the BIG inflated contracts this team has, we need some serviceable bargain guys:
These guys are UFA's:
Connolly - I'd keep for same money, but think he'll get more elsewhere, and wouldn't really hurt me to see him go.
Hagelin - I like his play, and would like to have him but doubt Caps can swing the $$$. Thought he was a great pickup this year for our...."run"
Smith Pelly - Meh. For bargain $$$ only, Physical but that's about it (which we surely need)
Orpik - Really not sure on this. He is old and so slow, but for $1m, He is probably worth that in Hits and leadership. I'd probably keep him for a bargain backup, although I thought Ziggy showed promise this year. I doubt Orpik really wants to go elsewhere at this point, maybe just retires.
These guys are RFA's:
Vranna - Got to sign him....and hopefully not contracts like Dylan and Orlof. Vranna needs to be one of the Cap's hopes for the future.
Burka - So long, farewell, adieu, adieu, adieu. I've been done with him for years. Shows promise, but not worth big dollar risk.
Djoos - So long, farewell.... Just not big enough for the NHL. (Ziggy needs some more seasoning and now is the time)
Stephenson - I'd keep on the cheap.
Jaskin - I like him for bargain $$, but never really got a shot here. Caps just don't seem to like him
We do have Boyd under contract (another year I think) and I like him. Not sure why he went to the doghouse in the playoffs.
BTW - I love the Jensen contract. 4 years at 2.5m is a steal for him. He is probably the best move Caps made in recent history. Much needed stable D and very mobile and good puck mover. I don't think the Caps make the playoffs without him this past year.
I really don;t see the Caps having the funds to make any real moves in the off season unless they manage a trade of a big contract, but who'd that be?

Given that it’s Monumental, you can assume to cross every one on that list except Bura, Connolly, and Vranna. The expect long term contracts that will put us walking the cap tightrope and having the highest payroll in the league for years to come (Wings have two big cap hits that aren’t playing which is why they’re higher).
The cap, the lengths of contracts, and depth lost in trades are gonna fuck us worse than a scene outta Oz

save that thought, we will start that thread after the playoffs
waynerivers:
This was basically the same crew which won the Cup last year except for Beagle and Grubauer. The Kempny and Oshie injuries hurt but Carolina had injuries, too. Plus, we had a 2-0 lead in the series and then lost 4 of 5. That's 100% on Rierden. He isn't the answer either now or going forward. Regardless of whatever personnel moves are made, they need a guy behind the bench who knows what he's doing.
Speaking of losing a 2-0 series lead, the Caps have a long and miserable history of losing 2-0 and 3-1 series leads. I thought maybe winning a Cup would cure it but I guess not.
