I see a man almost 40 even as a professional athlete.

Id take that in a heartbeat as a caps fan lol
I turned 39 today, can confirm. lol
People just don’t seem to get this.
The Capitals have 5 players under contract going into the summer of 2026. FIVE.
Those FIVE = 28m (just under). So that’s 60m available were it this summer. Let’s add 5m as the cap raises. 65m for 17-18 players.
Who cares about PLD’s contract, again??

Caps must have the inside track on a kid in the 2028 draft lol. Their squad post-Ovi is gonna be so brutal .

Pass.
I'd propably take #10 for Fehervary given you could get a D with more potential there and the value favours Capitals but once the offer turns into #17 being included, it really doesn't do anything for the Capitals. They need D more than scoring wingers so Holtz makes no sense. I wouldn't move Malenstyn for a 3rd, either.

I could see Skinner with no retention and the 11th pick for a return between a conditional pick and Dowd
Leonsis is trying to get a new arena built. The Caps aren't rebuilding now, and they aren't planning on rebuilding in two more years either. They're trying for a retool, which is probably why they are prepared to take some risks with very long odds, in some cases. They like what Hershey has been producing as far as depth glue guys and continued pro development of their prospects, and they are seeking to get younger via trades, UFAs and retirements.
They are very unlikely to intentionally bottom out. They're trying to manage a smooth transition. It wouldn't surprise me if they aim to be a bubble playoff team for 2-3 years and then try to improve from there.
It may not work, but I don't see the owner agreeing to a hard tank, not deliberately anyway. He's still scarred from that circa 2003-2007 era.

Washington needs more Russian. Mikheyev is your guy. You're welcome 
TVR or Jensen please and thank you

He's let them tear the Wizards down and tank in order to rebuild. He let GMGM tear it all down to rebuild and ended up with Ovi and Backstrom. I think when the time comes for 8 to hang it up he'll be plenty OK with it.

Nor would the Caps want it. I wouldn’t want Skinner at full price, under most any circumstance

Slightly used Huberdeau for sale. It's a bit non-sensical, as he plays the same position as Ovie. Many posters on here say he has one of the worst contracts in the NHL, and he seems to be getting somehow slightly worse ever year.....but hey it's the Capitals we're talking about. Let's get at her.
I used to have barrel kinda like that. Never touched steroids, just lifted a shit tonne of weights and eat/drank too much like a fat f***

Not really. They have 2 of the best ones in the AHL. Which was big reason why they wanted to get rid of that Kuemper -contract, to give them a chance.
2x Calder Cup Champion Hunter Shepard has paid his dues to earn a real shot at backupping Capitals.
With Clay Stevenson on the sidelines looking as a future NHLer.
Caps absolutely should not commit themselves to a 2,5 mill backup goalie for 3 years.
