Watched Duchenne in his 1000th game in Dallas agInst the Caps. He's aging but still good.
Matt D is on the wrong side of 35 isn't he? More purgatory.
Patrick is a hard pass for me. Don't need another player from the assistance program and declining stats with $8 mill. Capitals Cap space is tight and required established players for that type of money. Let's stop rolling the dice on these high pay players.
Matt D. Contract is until 2029, which would put him at approximately 38 when retiring. To long of a contract for my taste. If it was 2 years maybe. We have enough older 30's players with issues already. Let's stop this trend. Plus he's he's no Joe Pavelski.
we are rebuilding lets start with D carlson was mvp of team last year imo,tons of minutes., unless caps management thinks alexiof is ready at d,young guys will likely score more with their experience from last year, mcmichael should get 20,protis 15 ,lappy 15,myro 15.., milano 20 ….maybe etan frank gets a shot??, wilson 20,strome 25, this could be a well balanced scoring team with good goaltendig, we cant be less offensive than last year lol, ovi 30, paciretty/ oshie?
maybe leonard joins in ….lets not get crazy with free agents,one more year of see what we got. maybe playoffs again, but next year is the movement year.
i dont want marner if we have to give up leonard,or myro…but he would be a great fit if we go offense.
I honestly think free agency will be the way to go if we want to improve. You take a look at most contenders and they have 5-6 Elite level players, low end playoff teams usually have 3-4, and non playoff teams have 2 or less Elite players. In my opinion the only “Elite” players the Capitals truly have are Carlson and Ovi (Strome is good, not quite Elite in my opinion… but certainly a valuable player just a better fit as a high end 2C in my opinion). We shouldn’t have made the playoffs this year, but we did. If we want to see the playoffs again next year and begin to build this thing back up I believe we need another Elite level scorer (see Jake Guentzel). I’d prefer not to trade young players at this point. We have the open cap space with Backy on LTIR, may as well use it.
