We should have vastly more up front depth now. I would even like to see us add another defenseman if the right guy was available. I'm also not sold on Lindgren as the backup anymore. He was pretty dreadful last season.

Caps finished the season at #25 out of 32. The PP has been lacking for several seasons now. But they still rank #4 overall since ‘05-‘06, the OV era.

It will be nice to actually have some other assets in place for Hudson and Chicky to pass the puck to. They can be an offensive threat on their own, but actually having multiple options to pass to will be a nice benefit. I am excited about this upcoming season. Sure appears we have the best assets, talent and deep balance that we've had overall in quite some time. I can't imagine we will be an easy team to play against, with good size, some good talent, and all lines creating some sort of real challenge to face. If we can get our PP really firing, that would be excellent as well.

I think they are going to turn Chychrin and Hutson loose! Also when Sandin comes back, they have 3 very good skating defensemen. The impact of Hutson could be huge and Chicky could really have a great year.
