I also feel, Shep has been in the way of Stevenson's development. Stevenson needs to be given the lions share of starts, and not Shep. Bears are still a top team, but I don't think they will go far a 3rd year in a row in the playoffs(their D group is just not as good without McIIrath, whom can't be sent back to the Bears because another NHL team might pick him up on waivers).

Agree with all of that. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Caps try to get McIlrath through. But really who reason they wanted him up was for physical presence or change of pace. We haven’t needed either so he has just sat. They could also send Alexyev down if they don’t plan to resign him.

Either can go down free for a one week training stint. We could see that over 4 nations.
