Prospect Info: Caps Prospects General Discussion Thread - 2024-25

[um]

Leonard probably has to sit a few games while he learns the system.

The best way to learn the system is to play it.

We've got the points; play the kid!

If the coaches have already decided he is playing tomorrow, they must really like him right? Guess Raddyish out?

 

[Langway]

Booya.

Looks like the movie poster from Les Miserables (1935)

I don’t see Beau sitting, he’s been playing well, Carbs even had him out with Ovechkin and PLD late last game. I think Raddysh is most likely, right shot, doesn’t play special teams, gets moved around the lineup.

 

[Neil Racki]

f***ing pumped … heard a lot about this kid and seen the highlights

 

[Coldnwindy]

I'm going to guess Mangiapane sits before Raddysh does.

 

[Devil Dancer]

What a great day to be a Caps fan.

Best prospect to sign since Kuzy?

The official tweet is gonna hit like crack

Sir, are you speaking from personal experience???

Re: Chesley, I'd been wondering if they wanted or needed to wait and see on their cap space after signing Leonard before getting him inked to an ELC for this season. (Assuming getting him signed is predicated on playing a game in Washington.) To make sure any performance bonuses and/or injuries and call-ups don't impact their ability to ice a full roster.

They can maybe convince him to wait until next season to start his ELC by giving him a lot of performance bonuses across all 3 seasons. They've got the cap space next season to 'risk' it.

I think you're on to something here. Chelsey getting an ATO now with an ELC to be signed later gives them that cap flexibility (as well as deciding if they want to let him burn an ELC year).

Ryan Walter should be ok with it.

 

[Calicaps]

Excellent. Happy 50th everyone!

 

[RandyHolt]

What former capital does Lenny's game most closely resemble?

Say TJ Oshie, Say TJ Oshie

 

[Calicaps]

One thing the team did quite publicly was leverage the Chesley-Lenny allegiance that was forged at the WJC. They made vids with the two and really built the narrative of their shared future as Caps teammates. I have to think that mattered at least a little.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

No idea how credible this guy is but I like what he has to say.

 

[wickedwitch]

I like the symbolism of 8 -> 9 in terms of the face of the franchise.

Carbery adores Leonard. Carbery absolutely beams any time he gets asked about him.
