Speculation: Caps Roster General Discussion (Coaching/FAs/Cap/Lines/etc) | 2024-25 Summer Edition

[Langway]

Now its Miro vs. Cristall.

Frank, Rybinski, Trineyev, Sutter and Dube would be additional alternatives potentially. Not like it's an either/or thing between the two. I hope Cristall makes a case for himself but super tough not to figure he'll be back for another WHL season. He'd have to be lightning in a bottle to earn a spot...and even then there's no assurance he'd stick for the requisite 10 games to stay put.

Frank needing to clear waivers makes him pretty interesting I think. He deserves a long look. His defensive game seems to have improved some but still hard to peg how his speed/strength tracks against NHLers. It's now or never you'd think. At least in DC.

Yep….LTIR, and hopefully a playoff run send off…

 

[hockeykicker]

That sounds like a prep for going on LTIR and not retiring.

 

[Marshall]

Gonna miss you, Oshmonster.

Cap space update

 

[Calicaps]

End of an era for sure. Will be interesting to see what this means for the room. He's been the glue.

 

[Monsterrain]

One of my favorite players from this era. He hustled his ass off when he was on the ice. What a run he had here. Gonna miss him

 

[BallardEra]

Does anyone have a picture of player weights from today. Did Ovie tip the scales at 350? 400?

 

[Brian23]

Man, with the logjam at center I really hope they reevaluate an upgrade trade with that capspace.

I'm just saying.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Preach!

The Caps' colors are red, white, and blue. Why overthink it?

I’d love for them to make the 2021 RR as the main home jersey and use the black one as alternate. Both jerseys are 10000x sexier than the ugly Reebok era wordmarks.

- Away jersey would be similar to the 2006 away jerseys.

I also dig these. Aways should be a white version. Screw the black.

It will be interesting to see if they really do go with one of Lapierre or McMichael at wing.

Jeeez, no need to get racial about this.

Uh oh @StrikingDistance — now you’ve done it.

It’s one of those “know your audience” that I always tell everyone.

 

[g00n]

Eh, I like black jerseys. Because I'm evil.

Oh, she knows I'm playing. Cali is one of the few posters I've actually met in-person.

Sorry about that @Calicaps

[stephenball]

Honestly just give me a screaming eagle jersey, black or red (don’t dig the blue).

At this point, I don't care if they come out wearing burlap sacks. Give me the hockey!

Maybe the best sweater they've ever had. I'd be very happy if this was the permanent home look, but I know they won't do it.

I wanted the weagle as the primary logo for a long time, but I think it's starting to look a bit dated. And they absolutely blew it with that weagle Stadium Series abomination.

 

[TheSmokingMan]

End of an era for sure. Will be interesting to see what this means for the room. He's been the glue.

Hopefully, he's still going to be around the team while on LTIR. I'd like him to have some sort of role in the organization when he finally does retire. You want a guy like him to be around the young players as much as possible. Who knows, he may even make a comeback towards the end of the season.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Has anyone bought the monumental yearly pass?

if so, can you post which limited time select games they offer two free tickets to for signing up

Also, is it worth signing up? I heard the app was pretty bad last season. I’m debating starting with monthly if the apps bad I can cancel and not be stuck with it for a year because there’s no chance I’m using it after the season is over and if we’re having a piss poor season.

$200 for a year pass
$20 a month for 7 months of NHL season and maybe another if we make the playoffs.

Ovechkin going with a pure STR and VIG build, with maybe a little added DEX. Sacrifices a lot of END though.

A good combination with a high INT player like Strome. ARC builds like Dubois and Kuznetsov can also very effective beside tanks, but much more risk as well.
