"he's certainly expected to compete for games and ice time" I hope this is true. I feel like lineups should be fluid, with as many games as they play. When Fever went down last year, we were stuck in the mud cause AA had zero prep time and was thrown right into the playoff fire. Be nice if they'd get everyone on the roster some ice.

Then there's this!
8-0 Not sure how I feel about another Ovi contract, but if he still wants to play, it has to be in DC!

If he can still contribute at a good level, which likely means stop double shifting him on the PP, I’m ok with another year or two. At a good price for the team.

The 29 year old left wing hasn’t played in a year. I hope he can step up.

Backy has had two years to rest and rehabilitate the hip, and the Swedish league isn’t as intense as the NHL.

I mean...he was never playing here again.  Was the announcement just officially because his contract is up?


I'm sure he is loved in Sweden.  Hope he has some fun.

Caps still haven’t set a date for the start of camp, but it’s typically within a few days of the first preseason game on September 21.
