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

Sandin as a 4.6m 3rd pair guy is not going to work.

They said, I think Sandin/Roy still could be a YUGE thing, and that’s not dismissing Fehervary. I like him a lot.

TVR is ideal for what he is, even at the 3m slot. Guy can play either side and any pair. He’s not the player we should look to trade.

I mean, IF some team absolutely had to have TVR for my aforementioned reasons, then ok send him. But it would need to be for a great player.

And NO, I’m not overselling TVR, I just don’t want him dealt

Chychrun have been a stud so far. I have doubted Wilson before, but looks like hes back. Strome aswell with that contract just shortened our rebuild time by a lot. Hes definitely a 1C.

PLD looks like he wants it and I think he will be a good player for us. Not up to his contract, but not that far off from it. Only 2 points so far, but does a lot of things right (Also wrongs). Important in working hard to get the puck in on the first goal vs NJD.

CMM, Protas, Mangiapaine, 4th line all looks good. Need to get the 3rd line clicking a little bit better and hopefully Roy in will help out Sandin. 3-1-0 is a very good opening playing two times against a Devils team who looks better this year, Dallas who is one of the best teams in the league and are 5-0 in their other five games and Vegas who where 3-0 before they faced us and is generally considered a good team.

One thing I noticed about Chychrun in the last game is that he's a bit of a maniac in the net scrums.

I expected him to be a soft little "hey there please don't do that" guy but in one scrum I saw he was just shaking a guy by the collar like a crooked cop. Dude has gone wild more than once like he's on a personal mission to prove his diet makes him a superhuman and I'm totally here for it.
