Not my first choice but don't hate it, would want to give the team a little more time to prove whether they deserve to be buyers

We looked uninterested but huge to get a win before the 10 days off. Hoping everyone heals up and comes back rejuvenated.

It will also be nice to be even in games played and not 2-3 ahead.

Hate seeing careers end this way, he’s dedicated his entire life to the sport. However, for both the team and his sake I hope he LTIRetires this off-season

I don't have an account to "the athletic", but did they just post an article linking Jonathan Toews to WSH as a potential landing mark...?

I don’t like it because John now is like backstrom was like before the surgery. Also there is no fit.

I really don't get the athletic article, which says he could be a replacement for strome or backstrom? Caps already have 5 NHL centers, and Toews' defining quality on the caps would be being slightly better than lars eller. not worth the first + it will take to get him

Instant Strome reaction: really good deal

Strome has been exactly what he was supposed to be -- a 2.5c that adds some offense. He's also the first center since like 2017 kuzy to make ovi actually drive play at 5v5, which is no small feat. Have to imagine this means the end of Eller and Mantha in DC, and probably Oshie as well.

reading into the tea leaves a bit I think that 1) Mantha is gone 2) Oshie is gone and 3) At least one of McMike/Lapierre is gone this summer. Those would all line up very nicely for DeBrincat, and I would be all in on getting him or Meier

Perfect realistic contract. I have really liked Strome's play this year and think it only grows.

I totally agree - Eller is certainly gone, Mantha most likely, and Oshie...we shall see - I don't he is traded. But think he considers LTIRetire. Will be super sad as he is a fan favorite and team leader, but I think it might be best for him and for the team

Not terribly close with DeBrincat - how would the Caps get him? Trade or RFA signing?

Yea reading sammi's article the other day was pretty brutal. BMac's comments were super similar to the ones he made about Backy last year too.

Has to be a trade closer to what Ottawa got for him and a bit more
