Not liking the off-season so far. A majority of the former caps are heading to other eastern conference teams. We made 1 siging and 1 trade of players I'm not thrilled about. I would rather bring in a 1st line center/ preferably a playmaker to set up Ovi and then bring up some new young guys. Dowd needs new line mates on the 4th line. I'm hoping Malenstyn gets one of those spots. Lapierre and McMichael could do with a call up as well as Alexeyev and Johansen. We have alot of young talent I would prefer see get a shine over brining in older high injury risk players. If mantha can be moved that'd be great.
Max P. was a horrific contract $2 mill plus another $2 mill if he plays 20 regular season games. Wow. His points per games is just under 1 per game but I don't expect him to play more than half the regular season at best due to injury. Another IR player. He is definitely a rental for the current season. The positive it's a 1 year contract.
I didn't expect Orlov returning as he was looking for close to $8 mill a year. That was stated prior to the draft.
I don't expect a better 2023-2024 season in comparison to last for the Caps.
One major benefit of these two acquisitions is that they are only signed for 1 year. If this team continue to struggle this year, they could quite easily trade both of these guys for draft capital come the deadline. And with inconsequential retention added for just the remainder of the season, it's fully possible that they could improve on the value they gave up for Edmundsson.

I don’t understand the Paches signing
I feel like we’ve lost more than we have gained so far this offseason
I feel like Bmac might not be done yet
