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

His name is on the Cup (JS55). Mine is not.

I think that is all?

Drop the puck.

It's the first year in a long time (iirc) that Caps have to wait 4 days before playing their first RS game.

Whatever...initial statement is still true: Schultzy sucks. Him being on our 1st D pairing probably cost us more PO wins than I want to think about.

I don't care if he Forrest Gumped his name on a Cup.

Was supposed to have a game during the late slot on the Caps rink at MedStar on Thursday night. Evidently they’re having a lot of trouble keeping ice thick enough on the new 50th anniversary logo because it’s slightly more elevated than the rest of the surface. The ice got so thin that a skate cut through the red paint on the W during the game before ours and ours got cancelled. Rink crew was freaking out since they had no time to fix the logo before the alumni game.

Yeah, I guess the issue I can see is that depending on what you think Leonard's ceiling is, they have lines 2-4 of a cup winning team potentially but are completely barren of top line talent. When's the last time other than maybe Vegas that a team won the cup without a top 5-10 player on the team?

St. Louis, Kings, and Bruins maybe?

Ovechkin was still a top 5 player when they won, and I put Tkachuck around 10. So St. Louis and Vegas I guess. 2 out of the last 10?
