<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>Schultz has been really good for us this year, and Jensen hasn't been able to play the top four role when given the opportunity in year's prior. I know he's thrived with Laviolette, but I'd still be surprised to see it play out where he gets protected over Schultz. I think that's why we resigned TVR, to be the third pairing RHD so we can lose the Jensen contract.</div></div>
I'd probably agree with you about Jensen's contract before this season. He's been playing pretty well so far, and I think he could really thrive in a role with Orlov. They've skated together as a pairing for 103:52 of TOI and have put up 57.06 CF%, 59.31 FF%, 76.92 GF%, and 68.29 HDCF%. It's worth a look, and would probably make the pairings Dillon - Carlson, Orlov - Jensen, and Chara - Schultz (who've also had pretty good numbers together this season). Unfortunately, Dillon's best pairing is with Carlson.

Leonsis would probably fire GMBM on the spot if he lets Ovi walk. Ovi isn't just a player, he's a business asset. Without Ovi, I doubt the DC market is the hockey market it is today.

</div></div>
Yeah, 100% agree on Ovi. I feel like that's the strategy at this point, and Seattle would be super dumb to waste a pick in the expansion draft on Ovi, who wouldn't re-sign with them.

Jensen has really turned his game around this year. He's looking really solid. If Schultz is taken, that obviously hurts depth, but I think the Caps can make due with a RD of Carlson, Jensen, and TvR.

I'd probably give Samsonov another year to see what you have. Don't want to move him too early and have it backfire.

If Ovi isn't the captain of the Caps, it's probably:

2. Carlson
3. Oshie

There's the business side of it too. Ovechkin revitalized the city and made DC a real hockey market. You aren't going to let the best player in the history of the team walk for nothing.

Mantha Mania
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>hard to argue that BUT the got the better player and saved nearly 3-4 million in cap space net year</div></div>
Cost certainty on Mantha was huge too. You never know what Vrana would command as an RFA with arbitration rights. That's more important to this team right now than a first in this year's draft which is likely a crap shoot.
Was the package hefty? Yeah, it took me aback for a bit. But if Mantha fits well and the Caps go on a deep playoff run, are we really gonna care? At least we gave up a first for a player with term and not for a true rental player.

I mean, I hope he doesn't get that much, but he apparently wants "McDavid money". We're not gonna let him walk. Not to mention, the Caps' contending window probably ends in the next three years anyways.

Laine
I'd be reaaaally hesitant to move out a first and Lapierre. With the cap staying flat for the foreseeable future, I'd want to keep younger assets that'll be on ELCs available in the pipeline instead of signing Laine.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>"doesnt play defense" was my point. anything above 50% is good</div></div>
Yeah, but the context is that he has good xGF% likely because he gets sheltered zone starts. I don't think Vrana is bad defensively, but it's certainly not a focus of his effort on ice.

Vrana xGF% is 51.59%
Iafallo xGF% is 48%
</div></div>
To be fair, Vrana gets 67.4% offensive zone starts (i.e. he's getting sheltered deployments). Iafallo is getting 46.2% offensive zone starts. That'll affect xGF%.

The center depth you mentioned being awful would be helped by adding probably the second best Russian center in the world in Kuznetsov lol

Taking Ducks and Isles offers beats 1-for-1
I would be veeeery hesitant to trade Vrana to a division rival. If the Caps are gonna trade him, trade him out west (like we did for Burakovsky). I'm still not convinced he's getting moved. The two healthy scratches are probably more for sending a message than anything, and hopefully Vrana gets a chance to play again on Tuesday.

Who is the capitals starter
Yeah, it's gotta be Sammy. For comparison's sake, let's look at Vanecek vs Sammy since Sammy's first start back after his COVID absence (03/07/21):
Samsonov: 8 GP, .920sv%, 2.17 GAA, 1.99 GSAA, .857 HDSV%, .81 HDGAA, 16 GA.
Vanecek: 6 GP, .897sv%, 2.86 GAA, -1.99 GSAA, .825 HDSV%, 1.25 HDGAA, 16 GA.
Samsonov has been looking fantastic lately. Sunday's game against the NYR, he was really solid in the first two periods, and then the Caps pretty much collapsed in the third (and still managed to win). After last night, I'd expect Samsonov to get the lion's share of the starts unless he starts struggling.
