Since when has Mantha's value ever been high? He's doing no better with a highend Capitals team then he did in Detroit.

Don't get to watch much Caps, what's up with Samsonov?

Sabres arent trading Olofsson to get older

Chicago isn't doing that, Reichel is going to be a great top 6 foward, Chicago doesn't need another goalie.

4 goals in 6 games. And all without eichel.

And Reinhart

Yea but he has Cody Eakin and Zemguss Giregonsins so ya know hes getting carried

I thought Mittelstadt will break out this season but in his absence it looks like Thompson has stepped up.

Coming in to this season he was averaging .70 points a game. How do you figure he is being carried?

Kind of turning in to Red Wings South.

Not a fan of either unfortunately. I wanna see ruotsalainen get a chance too.

Exactly, Once Vrana gets totally healthy Detroit won that one by a country mile.

Pretty sure hes kidding. Eakin is frequently the worst player on the ice.

I agree.



Olofsson is really good he will get his points no mater who he plays with.

Bro it’s Eakin and Girgeossns they’d carry McJesus and Gretzky only Loui Eriksson is better
But seriously I love olffson (can’t spell his name)
But imo he’s underrated even tho some people think his advanced stats are iffy he’s be great for any team in need of a sniper

Yeah I'm sorry about that I failed to pick up on the sarcasm.

Happens at least your not just a moron like some people on this site

This seems like quite an overreaction.

From what I've seen I think Mantha has been pretty good, and I think he has played pretty well with Eller and Sprong. Should we trade him however, Olofsson is a great return.

Samsonov looks... shaky for sure but I'd give him some more time to try and iron it out. It seemed to take him a bit to get up to speed last year and it seems to be happening again this year but I don't think we should be giving up on him yet.

Has looked shaky in his first few appearances. Overreaction imo as he seems to take a couple games to get back in a rhythm and he had decent stats last year, but does need to get going if he wants any shot at the starter role in DC

I'm not sure why Mantha needs to be traded. 4 points in 6 games, and his possession numbers are average because he's been getting 60% defensive zone starts. I think he'll be better off when Backstrom comes back and plays with more of a playmaker. In my eyes, I think Eller is struggling way more than Mantha and he's the one with two pretty good youngsters breathing down his neck for a spot.

I think Samsonov has been okay. Last night was just a wild game, and he probably should have saved 2 or 3 of those, but there were a few that were unreal saves that I don't think many other goalies make.

If the Caps are going to shake up anything, blast Blaine Forsythe to the moon. Haven't scored on the PP since opening night.

I'm not going to fault Sammy just for giving up some of those goals, but the way he played a couple of them was atrocious. hopefully he can improve that as the season goes on.

In defense of Forsythe, Ovi did score a goal right after the end of a power play last night, and I think they have created some good chances, I just seems like they've been unlucky so far. It can't continue like this though.

oops, meant to edit my original one. ignore this
