In this edition of Locked on Capitals. Dan talks about the trade that sent Lars Eller to the Colorado Avalance. The Caps in return get a 2025 second-round pick. Lars Eller was on an expiring contract. Lars will be most remembered in Washington for his great play during the Capitals’ Stanley Cup run in 2018. Lars scored seven goals and 11 assists in the 2018 playoffs, including three-game winning goals. Eller scored the double-overtime game-winner against the Blue Jackets in Game 3 of the opening round, the first of four straight wins for the Capitals over Columbus after beginning the series down 2-0.
Later Dan talks about the new deal for Nick Jensen. Before all of the movement this week John Carlson was the only Caps blue liner under contract after this season. The Caps made a move for defenseman Rasmus Sandin. Now with Nick getting a new contract the Caps blue line is really starting to take shape.
In the final segment Dan talks about what other potential moves GM Brian Maclellan will make. Will this team go all in on a youth movement and do callup’s from Hershey or will he sign more veteran players. Dan gives his ideas on which direction he thinks the team should go in.

I know lots of people wanted Lars and Caps part ways, but I don't like this trade – marginal draft pick in 2025? I understand that Orly and Haty wanted (and do deserve) more dough, but it's hard to imagine Lars would start a bidding war for his services. Then again, we don't see the whole picture that GM sees.
Nice of you to pay homage to Lars, Dan, LIKE IT!
I strongly disagree with your take on the young players. All the players mentioned have not been put into positions to succeed. Our Coach played CMM max 5 minutes per night an benched him as soon as possible. Alexeyev has played maybe 30 nhl games. Lapierre maybe 10. If you put these talented players in the lineup and give them confidence, then they will give something back. But sitting them all game and then wonder, that they fail in their 5 minutes of icetime is not a fair shot
Of course the day Jensen signs the extension, he also gets injured. Caps can't catch a break this year!
Really glad for Orlov and Hathaway going to a team in the running for the Stanley Cup. Going to miss Hathaway's ringside interviews with Al Kokken; he was well spoken. And I really loved his prone celly at the Boston game the Caps won.
