Repeats are extremely hard and highly unlikely regardless of bringing back the same team obviously. Carlson will sign for $7.5M and only 7 years; can't be 8 unless it's a trade.

Caps won't repeat. They beat a Penguins team ravishes by injuries (Malkin, Kessel, Brassard) and poor defense. The defense will get upgraded over the summer and the injuries will heal. Penguins will be on a mission next season.

Dude, don't jinx it, and don't get suddenly cocky. Caps fans are laid back people, because we're used to not getting what we want, or anything close. Am I right? Or did you just move to town and think it's all parades and keg stands?

Yes. That'd be awesome. I think that's "can sign for 8 years with the same team he last played for."

I used a question mark not an exclamation point for the title lol...The only way they repeat is if they get the great goal-tending and some bounces they got again next year...they will pretty much be the same team next year except they lose their best faceoff guy...if they lose Carlson they will be worse off on paper

the team that he last played for can offer 8 years...all other teams can only offer 7...do you want security Johnny or not?
