B+ sounds about right. Maybe even A-. I'd give the draft on its own a B, but the Thompson trade really boosts it. I agree the Parascak pick was a reach, though not an egregious one. He's still a 1st round talent. He gets to stay with his linemate Zac Funk who the Caps signed earlier this year, and the team went with a bunch of forwards whose primary weakness is skating, so they seem confident they can coach that aspect of their game, which is why they drafted Protas' brother, to repeat the success they've had with him. The Malenstyn trade was an absolute masterclass move by GMBM as well.
your very good at this! i hope a pod cast is in the future. ramble alert (lazy speller but you get the gist)
i love my caps(since the late 70s) but no where to watch anything about them except locked on capitals, i find that channel so preachey and a captain obvious vibe, i have thought of doing a utube channel myself at 61, maybe when i retire lol completly agree with your analysis on the draft, after pld trade i was worried about GM mccallum . surprised they didnt take eiserman or trade back and get more assets . doesnt seem mac is into playing games since he has both titles of president and gm this year. but he has gotten better lately.
tarik needs some muscle i think he is a good pick after watching highlights ,he does seem to always find the puck and has a gift for having space around him.(maybe not at nhl level,we will see). man the prospects we have look incredible, remember sleeper pick cam allen from last year ryan chesley hopefully comes, mcmicheal has he already hit his ceiling? lapriere is moving up and he looks twice thes size of when we drafted him. leonard, myro, suzy, cristal the list just goes on , and hutson this year. we are due for a young breakout player that other teams seem to get, it will probably be leonard. the only wild card with risk is pld. ……but it could work.
Caps top 5 prospects are Leanord, Cristall, Miro, Hutson, Iorio the fact that our 17th ovr pick doesn't crack our top 5 sucks. Simply a crap draft not counting the Thompson/Hutson stuff. Protas and Mateiko could be something but I think parascak won't play in the NHL

Caps are in a win-now window? lost me there. I think we are a couple years from being in a competitive window.
