Thread: 2020 lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>staytru20</b></div><div>Orlov isn't very good on the right side. I have no idea why this site has him listed as an RD. Jensen is also not great on his off-side. Forward group looks good, I like Sprong on the third line with more defensively responsible players like Eller and Hagelin.

I think the defensive corps end up looking like:

Dillon - Carlson
Orlov - Schultz
Fehervary/Siegenthaler - Jensen

I think TVR is more of an insurance policy for Schultz, since he's pretty darn injury prone. I really think that's why Jensen hasn't been moved, since he's still capable of a second or third pairing deployment. What I'd really love is Schultz getting some sheltered deployments.</div></div>

Yeah I totally forgot about Siegenthaler because he's an RFA and I just didn't really think about that.

Thread: 2020 offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markykins1</b></div><div>You've put a lot of thought into this one, good effort. First, I would say they wait until next summer (after the Q season ends) before they sign Hendrix to his ELC. I think they (and the hockey world) want to see if he's recovered and how his game looks first.

As for Panik, I now believe they would have to send a pick or middling prospect (that said team likes) out with him. Caps can't start sending picks out again as they end up short every year. At some point, they have to covet their picks more and just say NO.

I also don't think they move Orlov. I think they might consider it next year if the Ovi and Vrana extensions become too much, and with a flat cap it just might.

I can't see Tampa moving Cirelli, I would be very surprised. They are in deep right now it's true but Tampa always seems to get bailed out by some one. I say let them burn. They should be sending out a Johnson, a Gourd, a Kilorn with pick or prospect or both. Teams should fleece them to help them out but they always seem to find a sucker...

I like your UFA contracts but don't need Maroon. We have some Hershey kids that finally need a shot.</div></div>

I agree with most of what you've said. But with Boyd now a UFA and not coming back. Who's gonna be the next man up. Gersich hasn't looked good in Hershey. I guess Sprong could be. But he's been awful during his NHL stints. I think Maroon would be a good player to have if they move on from Panik or Hagelin. The caps need an energy guy, and I personally think Maroon could fit that whole.
