Description
So it looks like this is the most likely roster for October. I don't think GMBM has much faith in Stephenson; while he'll be allowed to compete on a two-way contract, I don't see him making the roster.

Caps will go lean unlike last year. They'll be able to carry one extra forward (probably Boyd, unless Gersich just has a monster camp). If and when anyone get's hurt you then see a call-up.

All in all I like what GMBM did. Caps definitely got heavier hockey play styles without giving up any speed. They continue to target large guys who can skate and have some skill. Leipsic is better than Stevenson and I think will bring more consistent effort. 4th line needed an overhaul and I think we succeded.

That fourth line is gonna be one of the best in the league. Dowd has sneaky good offensive upside. Great shot. Leipsic has really good vision, passing, and a certain grit to him, getting in low in the offensive zone to clean up rebounds and make some noise in front of the goalie. Hathaway is gonna be a great Tom Wilson-esque player (obviously not on the level of Tom Wilson) who might mesh really well with Leipsic and Dowd.

Hagelin Eller Panik; god that line could kill. Speed, elite defensive presence, and solid offensive capabilities. That sounds like an ideal third line to me. I can't wait to see it on the ice.

Kuz really needs to pick it back up this year though if we want the cup back. As does Orlov. And I'm hoping Kempny and Oshie fully recover from their injuries. If these things all happen, I can totally see a deep run to the playoffs.

This team looks legit dangerous on paper. Get healthy Kempny and Oshie.

100% agree. Solid adds and fill the 3RW with a guy who fits great. Also great adds to strengthen 4th line. Leipsec, Boyd, Hathaway can work well in any pair we need for the 4Ws depending on the matchups needed.

Agree also we need our other russians (not OVI) need a bounce back year for the success we want to be possible.

Missed Kempny last playoffs and Osh at the end of round.

I like how we look and our chances to make another run.
