I think people are using far too much recency bias to judge that Top 100 list when it comes to active players. Focusing too much on the last 2 or 3 years, and ignoring the past decade. They're forgetting when guys like Karlsson and Subban were at the top of their game.
The one name that stood out a bit to me was Mark Giordano. He obviously had a superlative 2018-19 campaign and has been good for a long time, but is he really top 100 of all time?
Naturally all Top 100 lists like that are going to be highly subjective and ultimately meaningless.

So I've already professed my love for the navy blue block W jersey that the Caps are supposedly looking at. (To the jeers of my fellow Caps fans lol)
But after seeing this with white shoulders, I'm loving this even more. It just looks sharp.

The White shoulders fixes that sweater IMO. Wouldn't mind it being a third look, and has some history as a "winter classic" design. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the Washington Monument stick out a little more in the W.

I'd still find a way to get Seth Jones in there. He's a future Norris winner for sure and I mean within the next year or so.
I expect Hedman to climb up the list big time. He'll probably land somewhere in the 10-20 range.
It’s basically a combo of the Winter Classic we hosted vs Chicago, and the Stadium Series vs Toronto in Annapolis.
literally a love child mesh of those 2 jerseys.
I like it.

I'd prefer to wait for him to actual accomplish that before naming him one of the best 100 ever. I have no doubt that Miro Heiskanen is also going to be a future Norris Winner, but it would be crazy to vote for him as one of the Top 100 at this point.

Starting to believe we're not going to be making any trades. We're under the cap and if you were going to make a move you probably would've done it last week when there was FOMO from a bunch of teams who missed out on key UFAs

I thought they might move Jensen for the cap space and think that could still come after some rfa signings happen. Past that I didnt see anything else

quite interesting.....feeds into my feeling that this team lost a lot (more) in the room with Trotz, Orpik, Beagle, etc gone...than even I realized.

I let myself forget about Beagle. I dont think we as fans remotely appreciate the value that players like Oprik and Beagle have to the foundation of a team. Same with Oshie. I think Holtby was a team leader as well and will be missed beyond his play

I am extremely disappointed that no one has offer sheeted any RFAs from Tampa or NYI, especially in light of the current cap freeze situation. I thought this would be the year for utter chaos. But then again, I do like to watch the world burn.

I could be wrong but they didn't even make some of the moves until after the injury was announced, so it's not like they stumbled backwards into getting bailed out or anything.

Yes, but the injury allowed them to make the moves that they did without having to offload someone.
Likely no chance they sign Schultz if Kempny was healthy, so call that unlucky or lucky, I don't know which

Well I mentioned that it allowed them to make moves without offloading someone, I never said anything about whether the moves they made were any good lol.
