duhaime looks like the cop who beats up Ben stiller in something about Mary

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I think this is our first game ever against Utah. Let’s add another record for Ovie.

Hey guys and gals , i was just wondering what your take is on Protas . I just traded for him in my draft.Sorry for bugging you on your board by the way but i think fans of teams know their players best.

Which one we have two.

Its never going to get old.

 

[twabby]

Is there a team with a better defensive depth? Maybe Carolina?

Carlson, Chychrun, Roy, are all first pairing dudes for sure. Sandin is playing like one this year and I expect him to stay on that level. Fehervary is a top 4 D. And TVR is probably a #4/#5 on most teams. That's a lot of good dudes.

I don’t do fantasy hockey so not sure how he stacks up from a fantasy perspective, but he has taken a nice development jump this year. He is faster. More physical. Scoring more. Not sure he will be a 50 point guy this year, but he is solid.

Thanks alot i appreciate it. He already has 17 points so that's really good.

He's playing great as mentioned, plus his line is w/OV and Strome so as long as they're producing 5v5 he'll be getting his share of points too

His shot is still pretty bad for anything more than 15 feet, but he'll go to the crease for rebounds/deflections so he'll get most of his goals in close

I think the Caps depth in general is among the best in the league, but definitely on the backend things look good.

 

[DWGie26]

An important part of the Dee is that they are actually now driving offense.

Is he getting any PP time or is that strictly 5 on 5 ?

It looks like nothing short of injury will get him PP time. It’s all 5v5 production.

Wow 17 points and no PP is amazing actually.

 

[Jags]

Fehervary is a top 4 D.

That is not possible. That would mean that he improved at some point. We were supposed to trade him a couple years ago before the league found out he was bad because defensemen don't improve once they have the metrics Fever had when he was 22 or 23.

So you must be mistaken. He's 25, so he's gotta outright suck by now. The Fancy Stat Gods determined his fate ages ago. Dude's washed. It's really very sad. It's pretty insensitive of you to bring this up in such a sarcastic way. Shame! SHAME!

 

[Silky mitts]

The career trajectory of Big Pro is ridiculous, every year it's like /, and the rest of the league messed up letting the Caps corner the market on Protases

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

I know this is early to discuss and a lot of factors can change before then but the excitement of possibilities intrigues me. The Caps currently have $1,419,166 in Cap space before the trade dead line and have already filled the 3C spot with Eller well in advance. IMO a very smart move.

If the team remains healthy, continues to play at it's current level, what are our possible expectations? Do we expect Leonard in the playoffs as well?

Welp. Have to call up Miro IMO.

 

[John Price]

man that really puts a damper on me for now. hope this team can pull through without him.

Damn. He has been so durable his career too.

get well soon Ovi!

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Man… f***.

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

Rest up big guy, we need you back.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Please don’t be the ACL. Worrisome they’re waiting for further imaging tomorrow, usually that happens for swelling to go down.

 

[Lou Sassole]

So they call up Miro?

 

[StrikingDistance]

Do you cut n paste everything you post on the Reddit Caps page? Maybe I'm a bit grouchy given the news.

Also, waiting for swelling to go down for an MRI? What? You get the MRI to diagnose the course of treatment. You don't 'wait'.
