I love Sergachev, but never ever trade Vrana. We also don't have a "need" for Sergachev, since we have guys like Fehervary and Alexeyev coming up, even tho Sergachev is significantly better than either.

Echo this.

We don't need Jensen. If he is universally hated by every single fan, why Tampa would need that guy? We need solid defenders who has some offensive skills on top of their top notch defensive attributes...Tell me one reason why would we trade for that player?

Also if we trade Serg, we want back at least 2+ years on the "favourable caphit" player.
Congrats for almost a good found on Vrana, which fullfills the "good player-good caphit" newest trend we're aiming for...but juuuuusst barely missed.
"You hit the post"

Additionally, i also think Washington never let's that guy go btw. I think letting Burakovsky go was already a mistake.
You can't do 2x times the same error right?

Forsberg bura mojo Stephenson Nate Schmidt Sanford. Capitals live to dump young talent and replace it with aging parts


Also Jensen isn’t terrible we just hate him bc he’s taking a roster spot away from a better player. Seig should be playing every night and I behave another kid sitting in the AHL bc the coaching staff prefers vets over youth

Do you think Siegenthaler plays well? When i see him, i see him struggle. So not good. Maybe i should check some adv stats on him

Edit 2 mins later:
Wow adv stats says: I'm blind - not watch enough Caps games...



That's pretty good, he should def play more then!
Sometimes eyetest is bad haha, oops...

Haha I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but imo I think he’s amazing and this is only his first full year in the nhl. He’s only going to get better. He’s also a right dman that is playing left. He’s left handed but prefers to play right

No, i think Holtby has a down year, so i assume every Washington D is garbage except Carlson. You know in my mind, if it's not about my team, i like to simplify things... my team is complicated enough...and i watch the avs a lot tooo. soo... it's better if u just know Islanders = top tier defense Washington = bad defense

But when Samsonov plays suddenly the whole Washington D looks elite. I really like Dillon as well, so tha was a nice addition for sure.(I wanted him in tampa)
I can't wait to see, if u guys destroy us like couple of years ago game 6+7 or we win this time for once, if we meet. That was crazy bad for us...
Hopefully not the same result hahaaa, i don't wanna meet you guys. I'm scared. I'm serious!
Coleman vs Wilson matchup will be fun... Goodrow should help combat your phyisicality, but we'll see... i still feel like it's a really bad matchup for us... and good for your team

Who do you think winning in a potential Conference finals: Caps or Boltz?
My hunch tells me, you guys will lose vs Islanders 1st round, vs your old coach Barry "Godtier" Trotz. He knows your organization too well. Similar to Tortorella vs. Tampa last year... He just knows...

So what do you think about these 2 matchups?
Wsh vs NYI(most likely 1st round matchup this year)
&
Wash vs Tampa
If can get past i think we'll meet in conf finals.
But parity is too even in this league...So you never know, if another sweep is "on the horizon" for the lightning... hope not LUL... then rip our dreams...

Capitals go as far as kuzy and holt by takes us. So if kuzy plays like he did in 2018 we are winning the cup. If he turns into a ghost we are losing in 5. Holtby has looked better but I’m not a fan of our defense. Thought Jensen would be a lot better and lemony looks awful since his injury. I really like the youngster coming up. We miss a guy like Orpik desperately

You sure you not starting first 2 games with Samsonov? Like 100% sure Holtby starts both games? It's really bad to go 0-2, just because a bad decision by coach? No?

I would not even hesitate one second, bench Holtby, and start Samsonov, until he let's in a lot of goals/1 game...
0.900 SV% for Holtby it's just not even close to a number like 0.920
So how can he turn it up like 2 years ago? It seems "Mission Impossible" to me. And for Samsonov that looks like " doable" from game 1 of playoffs. With the help of Dillon.

Sabres fan here
We’d do that deal imo,
unless we were able to trade Risto or Montour for a 2C or RW2
