Description

I think this season will be more so the same as last season for the Cap sadly. Listen I love Ovi. I love Backstrom. I love Carlson. But they can’t carry this team. The health of the team is damaged. They just seem to be injury prone. Ovi will still be Ovi and Backstrom will still be Backstrom. The team has likeable players but they aren’t built for the playoffs. There needs to be changes made to make the playoffs. I think this team is going to the be on the lower end of the metro. They would still be a mediocre team I think but not anything more and they just might be less than mediocre. They are 6th/7th metro team

I actually think if they stay healthy this is still a really good team.

It all comes down to these things:
-Can Carbery get Kuz back to being a 1C and Mantha a 30G scorer?
-Can they get the PP going?
-Can they incorporate the kids?
-Can they stay relatively healthy?

If they can get all of that they are top 3 Metro team. If none of that stuff works, they are a bottom 5 team in the league.

I think Kuz and Mantha have back bounce seasons. If that happens the PP will bounce back. At that point it's just getting kids going and staying healthy.
