Team: 2022-23 Washington Capitals

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 3, 2023

Published: Mar. 3, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Caps are 6pts out of a wild card with no games in hand. This campaign is over. Can barely hang with Anaheim...how can you catch PIT, NYI, or even BUF.

Make some near term trades and sales for this re-tool on the fly. Play some youth for the rest of the campaign (Alexeyev, Protas, Malenstyn, Snivs, maybe Lapierre)

If Connor Brown can come back healthy re-sign him to a 1-year value deal and let him grind at 4LW with Dowd and NAK (re-sign him too, he's got grit).

This roster (especially if Carlson stays on LTIR) tanks for a top-10 pick. And then can fire Lavs and find a coach that fits the "Ovi Re-Tool" and will develop some youth at the same time.

The Capitals have done zero to develop him. With Strome signed long term, and Lapierre having passed Mikey on the depth charts, it seems like McMichael really has no lane to get ice time. So picks to shed Mantha and McMichael would be wiser. Right now at C, the Caps have - Kuzy, Backstrom, Strome, Dowd, Lapierre, Protas (natural C not W), Craig Smith (UFA), Malenstyn plays C also...

So where does he fit in?

Why the Yotes even consider that? They are not in a position to be moving high picks for players.
