Tough for me to see this being a playoff team right now. Being healthier than last season will help, but Oshie is still a lock to miss at least 20 games and who knows what you get out of Backstrom now. I think if everything goes right for the Caps (relatively healthy, Kuznetsov rebounds, Sandin takes another step, the players respond well to Carberry, etc.) then they should be in the wild card chase. It's just so tough to say with confidence that this team has anything exciting about it other than the chase to 894
