Leason is a 20 year old that bloomed late.

Overall, I was happy with what they did - they traded up and got some guys they wanted and I think a couple of them were viewed as real "steals". Of course these are 18 year old kids and who knows if they will ever play in the NHL!

It’ll be interesting to see that’s for sure. Have they learned from last year and seen the way to win multiple series and Cups is with a roster built size, muscle, hockey IQ, hard work and excelling in all aspects, or if they just picked “best available”
Given recent history, I’m betting the first two picks have been etched into stone as “4th liners”

shame, I think the Caps are gonna need the help on D for another season. But, he had a good run, I wish him well.
Mickstix:
Yep, definitely gonna miss him and wish him well.. Said his knee was so bad last year, he couldn't even get up and down the stairs..
In other news: Caps offer Burt (others) qualifying offers.. ::) Hopefully it's a sign and trade move, but doubtful anyone really wants a 3+ million $ Burt.. Think they only have around 9 mill and need to sign all those guys, plus Vrana... :sick:
