Bark off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Okay. Then Kuznetsov isn't going anywhere. Have a wonderful day.
I will say Barkov plays bigger mintues and kills a ton of penalties, and that's why I added in Chandler Stephenson, who's also pretty good at faceoffs, and has the speed to check some pretty good players. But after four hundred games apiece, Kuznetsov's plus/minus is twice as good. Must be all those years playing with defensive aces like Burakovsky and Ovechkin. :)</div></div>
I'm gonna keep saying this until the hockey world wakes up and takes note: plus/minus is the worst indicator of an individual player's ability, talent or effort. It relies too heavily on teammates. I am sure we will all agree that Backstrom is one of the best players on the team but according to +/- last year he was the 19th best Cap.

MTL trade revised
I've seen several Caps fans proposing trading Kempney and I don't like the idea at all. For what he brings to the team considering his contract he is a "must keep" in order for us to challenge for another Cup. On another note +/- is too dependent on the five other guys on the ice to be considered a valuable stat for an individual player. Just my two cents..

Kempney, in my humble opinion, is far too important to let go. For whatever reason he just fits and solidifies the defense.

Panik or hagelin should never have been signed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>if Plekanec at 33 got us a 2nd round pick we used to draft a great bottom 6 power forward in Jacob Olofsson and the piece we used to acquire Brett Kulak our 2nd pair LD most of last year then Backstrom can land WSH a 1st plus a Roster player due to his elite ability as a PP Center .
if you were to move him out to a team like CGY for example for Jankowski , a 1st and a later pick then WSH helps itself immediately as Janko's a solid 3rd line Center who's 25 or 26 who could play a 2nd Center role for WSH for a couple years. that 1st could help re-stock a weak depth pool spent on getting you cup victory .
but the main point was to keep Ovechkin,Oshie and Kuznetzov together you gotta make sacrifice's
Backstroms good but Eller can help carry bulk faceoffs it will be on the new guy to provide offense
a perfect fit for WSH would be Barbashev fresh off a cup ,reliable and hard worker who create's space.
i mean you could sacrifice Holtby to re-sign Backstrom but that would be foolish .
it will be a decade before you find another goalie as good as Holtby MTL knows it took us almost 10 years just to draft price another 3 before we seen his true potential .
Backstrom has to go just like Plekanec had to go
maybe he comes back as a UFA on a team friendly deal
but you always have to move your UFA's to get value</div></div>
I would sacrifice Holtby to resign Backstrom and the team would be foolish to do otherwise. Holtby is replaceable.
Our future goalie is sitting in Hershey waiting for the call. He won't be ready this season but will be for next. The team has no replacement for Backstrom. I love Eller but he is exactly what he is - a very good 3rd line center. Not to mention that Backstrom and Ovechkin are the faces of the franchise and should retire in Caps Jersey.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>Backstrom like Johanson before him will be leaving soon whether its trade or as a free agent .
Eller's consistency on 3rd will allow them time to replace backstrom after likely trading him at the TDL unless they're on a playoff push then they'll just lose him for nothing as a UFA because they wont pay a 32 year old term .
i think if WSH is smart they keep Eller
i know MTL regrets moving him
3 consistent years of growth from Chucky beside eller
the moment we trade him Chucky goes from 30 goal scorer on the rise
to problem child who cant hit 20 goals 3 straight seasons and is now on his 3rd team in 3 years .
Eller's Mentor ability as a player /coach is hard to replace
we brought in Shaw trying to do it
now we got a hole that needs filled .</div></div>
Backstrom isn't going anywhere. The fan base would storm the front offices with pitchforks and torches.

Dont get me wrong. He was awesome during the run to the cup but when given the chance to capitalize he failed and was demoted. He's a great story with a great moment but not a great, or even good, player. I wish him well wherever he goes but he has to go

I could see a situation where the Caps and Ovechkin come to an extension agreement but hold signing it until after the draft. That way they could protect more players while still having an agreement in place.

Quick question. Since Ovechkin will be a free agent the summer of the expansion draft doesn't that mean there's no need to protect him?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boush</b></div><div>The Caps window could conceivably slam shut after this season. I believe Faksa is an improvement on Eller in several different ways, and gives the team a better chance to succeed this season before truly difficult decisions have to be made.</div></div>
I'm not sure the Caps have too many difficult decisions next year. Backstrom- yes, Siegenthaler - yes, Holtby - no, Boyd - probably no. Samsanov will be up and taking over the starting job so Holtby will either be traded at this season's deadline or allowed to walk at the conclusion depending on how the season is going. I like Eller and he fits here well and has a very good contract. Just my thoughts. Go Caps!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Heiskanen4Vezina</b></div><div>Because he's a RFA, Burakovsky cannot make any less than he made last season. He has to make at least $3.25M on his contract.</div></div>
If I'm not mistaken he only has to make that much if the team gives him a qualifying offer. If they don't he becomes a free agent on July 1 and can be signed by any team (including the Caps) for any amount.

That's a comment you need to walk away from. Luck had NOTHING to do with them winning last season.
