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

Just look at at the jumps Protas and CMM got a year after graduating Hershey and a full NHL season in the books.

Would be crazy to sour on Lappy after 8 games

Carbs' presser today:
Chych - Day-to-Day, waiting on report, didn't rule him out for tmrw
Alexeyev - when asked about Alex in tmrw if Chych can't go "yeah, but also away today for personal reasons, so we'll see, will have clarity in next few hours"
Roy - is "getting real close, don't know about tmrw but he's right there"

encouraging? maybe everyone's ready Thurs, if not, sounds like Sat

Or maybe no one is ready and we have to recall someone (Iorio?)

I'd be fine with that too

Main point is everyone's close and no one's weeks away

Any talk of moving Hendrix , those posters need a week break from all hockey. Sure he's in a slump, he may have a nagging injury, he may be tired from winning back to back championships at a young age - leading them in this most recent one, or he may just be in a funk....

Regardless of the why, you let him work through it and you don't trade kids who have proven they can play. I promise BMac and SC aren't remotely entertaining any idea of moving HL out, even for a second. Its a long season and players go throw slumps. This is a long game, not meant for the impetuous.

I certainly understand the side of not rushing him out, but also the Caps are in a spot where they don’t have a ton of attractive trade pieces to do anything significant (that doesn’t kill the roster) outside of HL. If you could significantly (SIGNIFICANTLY) upgrade the 3C or 2LW spot with HL as a part of the deal you do it.

Or not…
