What if we agreed with him on this point?Somewhere, a few of us may owe @maacoshark an apology on this one.
Deriving Lessons From The Chandler Stephenson Miscue
Yes, it’s true. Hindsight is “20/20”. And it’s also true that “there’s no use in crying over spilt milk”. Once it’s done, it’s done. Get over it and move on.
This is my recollection as well. Haven't really seen or heard of them getting involved with the Capitals post playing career. Just Alzner. But says something for the area that they have come back.
We only apologize to the departed who can't hear it
Holtby loves this area. He used to live close to me and his kids were friends with my neighbor’s kids so I chatted with him a few times. Also talked to him at the Human Rights Campaign gala towards the end of the season in his final year here and he said he was hoping to stay but didn’t think numbers would work out but that this was where they wanted to be after he retired. They’re incredibly down to earth and decent people, you’d have no idea he was a pro athlete if you met him. Glad to hear he’s back and it’s also a good indication that his playing career is over. Time to text my old neighbor to see if Holts is looking for a local beer league team to join!

its already deteriorating, that's why the Caps moved on.The top 50 NHL unrestricted free agents: Ryan O'Reilly, Tyler Bertuzzi and more
A look at the NHL's top 50 unrestricted free agents, with player cards showing future trajectories and value for the most intriguing ones.
Brutal list. Orlov being the prized free agent of the offseason seems like it would net him a premium. Hard to imagine him taking a discount to stay in DC and if he doesn't take one I think Washington should stay away. He was fantastic in DC but there are some warning signs that his game will start to deteriorate sooner rather than later.
Every offseason there are big pieces available, although teams may not want what we're offering.
Here's to hoping his ties to the Capitals organization overcome the Rangers' appeal. But just another reason they should have fired Laviolette last off-season and pounced on Carbery then.
