they were better than Philly.

great job being better than a team that has literally some of the worst defensmen in the NHL (except Provorov/Ghost) - Gudas is alright

Manning is a good player.

Look at the guys PIT lost. WSH has prospects to fill the holes of the guys they lost.

PIT lost whom again? MAF and...?

Bonino, Daley, Kunitz, Hainsey, Cullen, etc.

its going to be so hard to replace those guys I guess. I mean, Malkin and Crosby can carry the team past the 2nd round

Name 3 things Manning is better at comparatively to other NHL defensemen? Macdonald cannot skate to save his life. he is the laughing stock of Flyers fans.

i'm going to ignore this stuff about players being horrible. Manning isn't a top 4 D but he's not a bad one.

Ghost is anything but overrated. Did you not watch his rookie campaign? 2nd in Calder voting, all of his goals but one, either tied the game or were a GWG. Giroux and Voracek are still top players, but everyone had a rough year last year. Kuznestov just got handed one of the worst contracts this offseason. He is a 2c. What about Couturier, the best 3c in the NHL?

We will have ample cap space in 2 years

Kuznetsov is a 2C???? He got off to a slow start, but then was one of the hottest guys in the NHL once he woke up. 77 points the year before that, and he was the best player on the ice in the Pittsburgh series (with the exception of MAF). He's not a 2C. If he's a 2C, so is Jack Eichel. And I did see Ghost's rookie season. I also saw his second season, where he lived up to his nickname. The times that he wasn't invisible, he was making a horrible play in his own or neutral zone. If you define a "top player" as 55-60 points, is Marcus Johansson a top player? Derek Stepan? And I touched on Couturier already

So Ghost, who is an offensive defensemen, makes some suspect plays in the zones, and he is labeled as "overrated"?

Top player is not defined by how points you get bud. Connor Sheary is a bottom-six player, and he had over 50 points.

I appreciate you trying to support the Caps, but stop. We aren't winning this year. Hell, I'd want nothing more than for you to be right, but it's not happening. Not with one of Vrana/Connolly/Wilson in our top 6

i'm guessing you thought it would happen this year though?

Of course I did. Especially since we were the better team throughout almost the entire series. That makes it sting even more

Simmonds will need a raise, you have to make a decision on Couturier, and I haven't even gotten to guys like Morgan Frost and German Rubtsov.

only thing you said on Coots

Then what makes Voracek a top player? Being a fan of his team? He's sure as hell not a top player
