Lil Pro seems to have better hands than Big Pro...

Sure did take a hit to make a play.
Love all the prospect updates here. Thanks @Cush !
I have always liked Chesley. Including where we traded Vanny to position us for the pick. This will be his third year in NCAA which is still a good development path. But chances are he will still need a year in Hershey so I hope he turns pro after this year.

Still early and a lot could change but the quasi-rebuild might turn out to be successful. I really thought they needed to do a full rebuild but they have been quite savvy with their moves.
It seems most of their picks have hit (still early but great results so far).
The biggest challenge though will be the future #1C, #1D and #1G. I still think you would need a higher end #1C to be a contender then what they have, Carlson is getting old and although I like Lindgren I don’t think he has it to be that top #1G. Thompson might though.

Whenever Carlson hangs them up may end up being the competitive back-breaker for a bit on a more mediocre/stable level. They'd have some cap space and perhaps in time they'll decide to keep Chychrun around if he's earned it as another minute-eater for the foreseeable future. (We'll see.) But replacing that type of player won't be easy, even if he's lost a step. I would also hope this season that they're able to manage his minutes more wisely so that he's not overextended/gassed and better able to be more of an attacking offensive presence. That's what they need still given their limitations up front. Physically the stamina is increasingly not going to be there to be pushing the envelope like that expecting him to lead the league in TOI.
Roy being available is crucial in that because I doubt Fehervary/TVR/Sandin are so great that they'll be comfortable balancing it out by committee. The Caps made a couple of crucial investments on D with Hutson/Muggli but we've talked a lot about post-Ovi and probably not enough about post-Carlson. Hopefully Chychrun can end up being a Strome-like piece going forward for them but in terms of leadership it's still going to be a big void when the time comes.

It might be a pipe dream, but I would love to acquire Rasmus Andersson for this purpose.
100% with this post.
Carlson was def their MVP last year, and candidly should’ve gotten more Norris recognition. The team rode him HARD all season, and he delivered for them.
Very very under appreciated these days, John Carlson is.

Lil Pro with 1+2 tonight too. What a goal!
So nice having a lot of YOUNG talent doing well. Been a lot of 24-26 year old prospects. Seeing a bunch of 18-20 year olds balling and even getting looks in Washington is fun.
Other fun thing… the number of those in Juniors and College with a letter on sweater. Leonard, Cristal, Mesieko, Allan, Chesley all have A’s. That is a lot of leadership to go with talent.

In a redraft, Cristall moves from #40 to...#60?
Corey needs to stop watching the games.
