Columbus isn't drunk. Smart move. Domi will be out until most likely January after shoulder surgery. He is an ufa at the end of next season. It allows them to protect Robinson. Seattle would be stupid to draft him. It would be a wasted pick.

He’ll be out until December 1st at the latest. Then just like four years ago Columbus has awarded an expansion team their 1C.

Tell me Eric Robinson will be better than Max Domi one day.

I’m not sure if it’s about Eric Robinson, this might be more about them going 4-4-1 with Laine Roslovic Atkinson Bjorkstrand as the forwards

Who’s the 4th defenceman going to be, Dean Kulan?

They would need to acquire a D/sign Del Zotto to expose another D then. Probably 7-3-1 with one of Stenlund/Robinson protected.

There is no way the caps don't protect Sprong. He is an up and comer that practically replaced Ovi this year when he was out. he had like 6 goals in two weeks if I remember correctly.

Put some respect on the goats name

To me it seems like TJ Oshie usurped his spot. I have the Capitals protecting Backstrom, Eller, Kuznetsov, Mantha, Oshie, Sheary, and Wilson.

Oops. I meant to say Dean Kujan

if they're smart, they leave sheary exposed to protect Sprong. He is gonna be more valuable in the long run. Especially since their cup window is probably about to close.
