Speculation: Caps Roster General Discussion (Coaching/FAs/Cap/Lines etc) - 2022-23 Season Part 2: Regular Season

who's ready for Strome Szn?

I am legitimately excited for Dylan Strome. On top of some pretty good impact metrics throughout his career, over the past 4 seasons he's at 2.02 points/60 at 5v5. That's better than everyone on the Capitals except for Ovechkin and Kuznetsov. And I suspect he will fit in on PP1 nicely.

I think he'll be a good 2C who will have the ability to play 1C for short periods if needed, and that's exactly what Washington needed to find this offseason.

Long ago I thought that Axel would replace Hagelin and then once again. Wrong both times. If I knew the game I'd be in it.

Practice lines today will likely be opening night lines. Lets see what Lavi is cooking

Disappointing that Johansson is in, but not surprising. What did he do this preseason to earn a spot? Has his performance over the last 3-5 seasons or so earned him a spot over McMichael (or Snively for that matter)? How does his inclusion help the team in the spring?

Good for Protas for earning his shot in the top 6.
