Sorry, but I've got diamond hands for my Pittsburgh and Tampa stocks, I don't have the liquidity to invest in Washington and Ottawa.
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.
Right my comment was more about the offseason moves to improve . But noted ; they might actually play better w him ( or not ) .Roy has also only played all of like 4min for us so far, he got injured in the first period of game one haha
For my 59, 415 post, I will say that I’ve had a lot of interactions with Dr John over the years due to a shared interest in golf, and I’ll vouch for him that he’s totally legit."And for my 10,000 post I think I'll be an attention whore... giggle!"

The Kings went 16-4-3 with PLD in the first 2 months. PLD had 3 goals and 3 assists through HalloweenTurns out playing guys in their natural spot with talented linemates/partners who fit their play style results in those guys being motivated and productive. Who knew?
Will it age better than Rob Blake and Pierre Dorion's tenures?This comment will not age well.
I think it's fair to note that the Caps got some incredibly hot goaltending but somehow made the play-off with a -38 goal differential, and then proceeded to get absolutely worked. I do agree they potentially got better, but even improving doesn't guarantee them a P/O spot this year.Considering Caps made the playoffs last year and, I think we can all agree, got better in the offseason, it shouldn't even be that surprising. Just that their lack of exciting young talent means they don't get media attention.
Good post. I think our GM (Bmac) really nailed it in the offseason. He's had a few misses in the past but I think over the years his strike rate is about 80/20, maybe 70/30 if being unbiased.
I think the Caps org know they aren't a Cup threat, but you know the old saying: make it into the playoffs and you're playing with house money. Anything can happen.
imho - the goal was to make the Caps a competitive team during the final Ovie years. And that's what they've done. This year they already look way better than last season
