"Had" and he's 18. And it's 2022.. He'll be fine! :cross: Biggest issue I see is he plans to return to Russia and who knows when he'll be able to come back if so. :cross: :cross:
In other news, we no longer employ Vanecek.

Caps do like to grab Russians. Hopefully the Kid has really broad shoulders as that name is gonna be running down both sleeves :wackysmile: . He will be just old enough to actually play (for the Caps) when Ovie retires.
And Vitek gone....one down, one to go as far as I'm concerned. Enough with these 26 year old "young" goalies. Sammy is 25, Vitek 26, and Vasilevskiy is 27. Vasilevskiy has been a primary starter since 2016 so.....time to get off the pot.

none of this years picks will have an impact for a couple years, and, statistically speaking, the chances of any of them having a positive impact is minimal
Mickstix:
Love the positivity! :) :snicker:
Who else did they draft, other then the Russian kid? Anyone with any upside?
I don't think there's any doubt if the "kid" stays healthy, he'll be an impact player in the NHL.. Availability, imo, will be his biggest hurdle. Look up his highlight reel.. He's tough, plays 200', can skate, definitely can stick handle and shoot. Needs to put on a few lbs, but he's got the "it" factor..

we’ll see, if team management does anything worthwhile in the next two weeks I’ll be impressed. Not holding my breath though.
Do you think JR racing will be hiring a new driver soon?
