Not sure why they waited a month, but glad he got it done and hope he heel's up quickly!! Get well soon Nicky!!!

Well....I looked at this surgery a little closer and Alta is right.  At age 34, Nicky is basically done.  I didn't realize that as a realistic near certainty.
At best, it's a year recovery period so he's out all of next season.....which makes him 35 coming off a major surgery most pro athletes won't recover from.  I think Nicky is done.  Sad, but probably good for the Caps at this point.


That's 9.2 million salary you can spend (while Backy is on LTIR), and let's face it....that's probably forever.
You could get a serious player for 9.2 mil with some change for help elsewhere.  We are in desperate need of a top line center.
I don't think McMichael is ready to cut it at 2C


Filip Forsberg is UFA, as is Johhny Gudreau.  I don't foresee either in a Caps uniform, but WTF knows.  And Forsberg is a LW as is Gudreau, and we really need a center
Maybe it's time to trade John Q Norris as well and have a whopping $22.25mil in salary cap to spend (with Nicky and Wilson on LTIR) and we can really make a difference in the near future.
Never happen I know, but we definitely need a 2C (or 1C)


2022 Free agent centers....


Giroux (34) - Flyers (too old)
Bergeron (36) - Boston (way too old)
Kadri - Avs (31) (meh, never really liked him, but I doubt I'd like Dale Hunter if he weren't a Cap)
Vincent Trocheck (28) - Canes  (now he seems a good fit to me - or at least what we need; two-way Center who could play 2C)
Malkin - Hens (35) - NO FUCKING WAY!!!
Andrew Cop (27)- Rags
Ryon Strome (28)- Rags


Yeah, I know....it's the Caps and it will never happen, but it's the boredom thread and a guy can dream can't he?

If it were up to me, I’d be talking to Trochek and/or Strome. The only other talent on that list that I’d be interested in is Kadri, but I still think he’s going to make another dumb hit at the wrong time for the team and get a 10 game vacation right as the playoffs start.

I read a snippet somewhere that Strome wants 5+ mill per year and Rags can't afford both Strome and Cop so Rags may be leaning towards signing Cop instead at less money.


$5m for a real 2C is not horrible.  Question is, would Strome (or any others) want to play in DC?

Read that article yesterday.  Must have been a tough decision not to go home to coach in Winnipeg.  When I saw they were looking I thought Trotz was a lock for that job.

No Ovi.  It's soccer.  When a guy bumps you, you don't counter-check him to the dirt, you fall down like you've been shot and roll around and hold your leg, you don't just keep playing.


But hey.  That's funny watching the clip.  The little Irishman is like WTF - I just ran into a wall.  :lol:

Back to the discussion about Nicky being done and going on LTIR so the Caps have about $9 million in cap space.  That assumes that management actually puts him on LTIR and then spends the cap allocation - which means $9 million less in profits.  Not sure they will do that.

Hmmm...not sure I understand what you are saying.  What is the alternative to placing Backy on LTIR?  You mean like the Caps waive him or declare him unfiit or something.  Can they even do that?


Or do you mean they put him on LTIR and then just not spend the available cap relief $$$ on someone else.


Caps only have 15 roster players at this point that could play come training camp (assumes Backy, Wilson, Hags on LTIR)


I mean...they have to do something.  They can't play with 15 guys.
Curious if they try and get Mojo for another year at $1m or so.


Caps desperately need to spend some money on a real Center....a REAL GT, and probably a couple D.
Jay Beagle is UFA for what its worth.  Caps bring him back and Ovie won't be the oldest guy on the team anymore[size=78%] [/size] :wackysmile:


I'm hoping the Caps make some splashes this summer and use the Backy situation to the team's advantage.
But then....I am a lifelong Cap fan so I'm used to my hopes being crushed on a regular basis.

There is still the big possibility that Hags can’t return as well. So management better be making some moves.
