It’s gonna happen. I can feel it

Cmon Leonard.

I want to see Wilson-Oshie-Leonard down the right side.

Oshie is probably cooked but getting Leonard would cushion the blow and take away a hole in their top six. I don’t see how Osh comes back unless there’s a miracle fix for his back which isn’t likely. Can’t see how they can plan for him to play more than 40-50 games if he does come back. Or maybe he tries the Backstrom route and gives it a go and then goes on LTIRetirement once his back inevitably gives out. Would be nice to have Leonard learn from Oshie though. They play with the same passion for the game and there are very few smarter players in the league than Oshie.

I had noted this before but 3 big things affect what caps do in offseason:
1. Leonard decision - this seems like it could change
2. Oshie decision
3. If Miro can be a legit top 9

If all three are in Caps plans next year there is MAYBE one top 6 scorer to add. And it likely means Oshie takes on 4th line RW. Or Wilson. Or maybe Miro. Or Protas.

Also, if all three play then I could see us just loading up on youth. If Oshie is out, it could be a 30 something on short contract because we actually need some vet presence.

It also means we don’t have to be desperate and do a bad deal for Reinhart or Marner. If it is Marner then we almost have to have an asset going out. But as others have said, we are a unique dance patner for Toronto because we have the Caps space.

All that said, our best move would be to move TVR/Jensen and spend big on a 2RD. Preferably one who is young and can be a 1D in future.

Looks like Sutter and Frank both will return to the lineup tonight. Phillips and Strome appear to be the ones coming out of the lineup

Good news, hoping for Miro, Sutter, Frank and Iorio make the jump to the Capitals next season.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Sucks to see Strome get the hook, but I get why.

This is great news. Hope it helps the Bears for this series! They've been looking good but I feel like we're at the point where the competition is gonna be of a higher caliber. Also saw something about Cleveland getting sent down a good player from the NHL who's been injured, not unlike our Iorio situation. Either way, let's start this off strong tonight Bears!

 

[DWGie26]

I would have thought Rybinski would come out. But he too has been playing well. So has Strome. So deep when healthy! Assume Day is still out. But he is probably behind Priskie anyway.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Getting ready to head for Hershey here at 3, do a little pregaming and dinner. Go Bears!

Day and HHA are both apparently out. So guess Massie slides in again

 

[MFHOOD]

Im a bit worried that Haman-Aktell isn't available but we'll see what happens.

 

[MFHOOD]

Rally towels for tonight and Saturday. These look SO GOOD!

 

[PanniniClaus]

Post some lines when they come out please?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Post some lines when they come out please?

Nothing official yet but forward-wise, I can't imagine they'll deviate from what they've been using except with the returnees inserted back in.

Snively-Lapierre-Frank
Limoges-Huntington-Dube
Vecchione-Roe-Miroshnichenko
Trineyev-Sutter-Rybinski

Rip it up, Bears.

 

[MFHOOD]

Rip it up, Bears.

Hope they take care of their shoes tonight, too.

 

[MFHOOD]

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Worried about 0-for-4 on the powerplay so far coming back to bite them. Cleveland's really keeping them to the outside on the powerplay; hope they make some adjustments there.

 

[MFHOOD]

Yeah they need to capitalize on that more

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Mitch Lamoureux going for the Colonel Sanders look.

 

[DWGie26]

Couldn’t get home by 1am Barcelona time to see first period. Shockingly Monumental streams here in Europe. Clearly we are up 1-0. But how have we looked?

 

[Holtbyisms]

Prepare to be on the PK the entire second period.
