Thread: Dream Lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>i completely agree with you. Ovechkin is 35+ years old....its silly to think hes same same players he was at 25. Lucky his playing style is timeless and he doesn't need to use a bunch of energy to produce. Sometimes people read words and get upset / make false assumptions. They other capital fan made the assumption that you think Ovechkin sucks when that wasn't the case.... just a misunderstanding imo.</div></div>

But I do agree that his age has affected his speed and agility. That is inevitable. And there are games where he does take off - but to say he has no legs / doesn't move is ridiculous, imo.

Yes - he does not skate like a 25 year old. This is true. And yes, OVI watches the puck sometimes. This is also true. Obviously age has taken a toll on his overall speed and legs. I agree with that.
But to say he does not move and does not have legs anymore is absurd. The dude still flies around to go after the puck / create big hits.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Oshie is the guy I'm watching on this team. He's 34, how far have the wheels come off.
We already know Ov doesn't really have legs anymore at 35. He doesn't need them considering he stands on the dot and shoots.
But if Oshie has problems, this team will struggle. They need his scoring.</div></div>

Haha! Ovi doesn't have legs anymore? He doesn't "move"? What are you talking about...
Guy had 184 hits last year (WITH a shortened season) and over 20 minutes of ice time.
Yes he is older and still dominates from the dot (sorry not sorry), but to say he has no legs makes me think you haven't watched him play...ever...?
But maybe you were joking, and therefore, that made me chuckle so thank you for that.

Thread: caps with sheary and no dumb taxi squad

Caps decline - at this point, the Caps do not need to salary dump. With Kempny and Hank on LTIR, the caps have enough to sign a vet goalie and keep a 7th dman + 13 forward.

Thread: Quick Power Rankings

Disagree. Maple Leafs, Pens, Rangers, Canucks, Oilers (talk about goaltending issues) should not be over the Caps...Everyone is hyped up on the Rangers yet their defense got worse (great signing of Jack Johnson).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bdawwwgy1</b></div><div>They're only adding about 2.5m by dumping Jensen (who sucked last year for them), and I was thinking they would get rid of Panik too. I think taking on 2.5m in cap for a 2, 3rd, and Coghlan is fair. Fleury is much better than any ufa goalie</div></div>

I do not mind this as a Caps fan - but as a side note, Jensen -> was much, much improved towards the end of the season. Arguable, he was the best defender for the Caps within the bubble. So we didn't overall suck last year.

Thread: Fleury Rumors - Thoughts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>understandable but, his NMC still remains if he waives it for Washington. That makes him harder to move.

It is really worth the risk if he is below average goalie and expected to get worst based on age?</div></div>

Honestly, with the window closing fast, I think some might argue yes it is worth the risk. But I am 50/50 honestly. I just do not think Sammy / Vanecek is the tandem to go with with this roster. But would love to be wrong

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>Caps need cap flexibility for 21-22. They shouldnt tie up 3.5 million for a lower than middle of the road goalie in 21-22.

If Ovie truly wants 12.5 million per season, they will need to save cap anywhere they can.</div></div>

Agreed - which is why if this were to happen, Fleury would have to be traded after next season (as stated in description).

Thread: No cap dump but adding a skater

Caps will need to sign a vet goalie -> If they don't, there won't be enough goalies for Hershey with Copley on the taxi squad.

But if somehow Haula would be signed, that would be awesome.

Thread: Hank replacement

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>It was too good of a player to pass up. These other UFA goalies aren't close to the King.

I saw those reports too.

But I still think the Caps will look to sign a vet. I think they should. The window is closing, and the Caps cannot have a two rookies (Sammy 26 games I know) as the goalie tandem. Neither have playoff experience either. And god forbid, one goes down (specifically Sammy), what then? Copley and Vanecek? I think not...

Thread: Bolster the Lineup

I like this - but need a 13th forward, especially with a shortened season. Haula would be amazing, but a 13th forward is necessary. Somehow Caps will have to come up with an additional 600k (ish) in this scenario.
