I figured they'd try and get a seasoned backup.


I watched GMBM talking about it and saying they were comfortable with the crew but "always open to improvement" but I thought they'd try and pull a seasoned guy in.  Samsonov is due for a lot of work but you need a steady backup.  Not sure Copely is NHL caliber.  Although he played pretty well for us when given the chance.

I knew the covid 1984 was just an excuse. I am surprised he was able to hide it this long, and he's damn lucky too..

Well that HAS to be the end of his career.  Not that you can't come back from it, but at his age....why would you?

The Wild did fire him at the end of last season, guess he couldn't get or didn't want another coaching job right away. I'm sure he's not hurting for money, but I'm very surprised he'd be put in a position that could have him interviewing OV on a regular basis.


It has been long enough that the two of them could have kissed and made up

Well - they sent Fehrvary down to Hershey and Ziggy is on the 4th pairing.  I'm not a fan of either move.  This is a season to get the young defensemen a lot of playing time.  It doesn't matter if we win the division, just need to make the playoffs, so get these guys some experience.

Glad to see Ziggy on the squad.  With all the off-season pickups, and the late Chara move, I figured Fever was done.


Although I agree with Beaglefan...I'd like to USE our younger guys and see if they can develop.  I think Ziggy has already earned a spot, but they just kept bringing in more guys.  Maybe they plan a revolving door with D men on the Taxi squad .  Anybody know if there is a limit to the number of moves to and fro the Taxi?.  My understanding is it is basically just 4 extra roster spots that don't count against the Cap.  I mean I don't really expect Chara to be full time everynight, but nine d-men is just too many.

I feel like this is half a waste of time, there's no way they got a good look at everyone in a week of practices

Sammy and Vitek....


has to be the youngest pair of goalies on any NHL team.
Can't believe the Caps are carrying 8 d-men.  Shocked they haven't moved Jensen or Orlov.  I thought with all the added D guys in the off-season we for sure were going to move somebody.  Maybe since they currently fit the cap with Kempney out, they are hedging their bets until we see how/if the newbies work out.

Caps got lucky...

https://novacapsfans.com/2021/01/12/nine-capitals-players-clear-waivers/


https://novacapsfans.com/2021/01/12/capitals-loan-six-players-to-ahl-hershey/


Gersich is the only one in there that I would care about losing to waivers....admittedly, I do not know most of those guys.
Copely clearing should tell you something....nobody wanted him for $1mil salary.


I'd say Copely will likely be on the Taxi, but what's the word with Anderson?  Not that they could not carry both, but why would they?


I'd say the Caps have a stronger roster this year than last (with goaltending being a very important question), but we are still weak on the bottom 6.  Panik at 3RW is basically.....plugging him in there because we have him.  I am a little surprised with ALL the extra D brought in that we didn't move Orlov for the salary and a solid winger.  Maybe they just love him or maybe they tried and got no offers


GO CAPS

Well there is your 23-man roster, but you can only dress 20 (2 goaltenders) so which 18 get a sweater?  OR more concisely, who sits?


I don't see them dressing 7 D cause then you just have 1 extra D and it f's up the lines.


I'd guess Sprong is the odd man out on O, but which 2 D gonna sit every other night?

Does anyone know/understand the expansion draft rules enough to know whether or not this is related to protecting them from Seattle?
