Real Estate Still Available on Washington Capitals Island

A well coached team that works hard can end up in the middle of the standings, or maybe even higher.

But am I going to get excited to get on board the Caps wagon? Dylan Strome, PLD, Chychrun, etc... etc... I can't get excited for any of these guys. For me this is not a likable scrappy team. I have enjoyed watching Ovi like twice in the last five years.

It’s just like Epstein’s Island except here young, fresh hockey fans are molested by the grotesque mediocrity of the greasy Washington Capitals organization.

It's also a half measure rebuild/retool. They're not going to be good enough to win anything, but not bad enough to get elite talent either. I'd rather bottom out tbh.

Well as a Pens fan the good news for you is it looks like you ARE bottoming out!

The bad news is your front office didn't get the memo and are still trying to be competitive

Yes the Pens are awful I know

Nah, your core of stars is going to keep you from a top 10 pick IMO, as it should be, as why should generational players like Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Karlsson be forced to fight for nothing, without even any quality prospects on the roster to mentor? Just sheer suckage for suckage sake is beneath these players.

You guys could only be so fortunate as to bottom out. I think you guys are in for the worst of both worlds this season.

This could be the year things really bottom out. Crosby looks bad so far, Letang/Karlsson are bleeding high danger chances against, only Malkin has looked good.

And yes being a mediocre team would suck, worst of both worlds is right. Caps are better sure, but they also are not gonna do any real damage with that roster.

That team is NOT real!

This forum has gone to shit. And this post will be deleted and I’ll get a warning.

I actually liked their offseason a lot. Bought low on some good depth players that all needed a change of scenery. Mangiapane, PLD, Thompson, and Chychrun for basically nothing nailed down. Also an organization that tends to do well with their top 60 draft picks. Tom Wilson is on hockey fans' hate list because when he's healthy and motivated he's a 200ft force.

I don't think it's enough to make any real noise but they're still markedly better than quite a bit of the soft basement eastern teams. Ultimately would rather somebody else like the Sabres, Sens, or Wings make the playoffs because fresh blood is fun to watch in the postseason, but I don't think they're a team to take too lightly either.

That is true but you can always get lucky via draft. As long as you have a playoff team tearing it all down probably isn't worth it. Certainly not with so many failed rebuilds around.
