<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theBeer_Leaguer</b></div><div>Some things I'll argue you on:

Samsonov already began skating three weeks ago and is back to practicing, the team knows the degree of the injury, in that he is 100% and it's healed already.

Kuznetsov had 52 points in 63 games in a down year. Unless he gets injured, I don't see how he could ever get less than 50 points, given he always plays on the first PP and plays with Ovi half the time. If the season is limited to 60ish games, maybe in the 50s.

Ovi is one season off of yet another 50+ goal pace (if a full season had happened), and you predict a potential 18 goal season? I don't think he's really a wildcard, maybe he regresses a BIT in goals, but you think he'll go from 48 to potentially not even 20?

I don't know where you are getting that Orlov is a liability... he isn't at all

I'm not even going to bother arguing about your Wilson comment... I understand hatred for Wilson as a player given his history but if you deny his skill and power forward ability in the top 6 you obviously don't know enough about hockey

One year of age does not bring this team from first in their division to missing the playoffs lol. Multiple years away from that imo. Now if you were to say 'if this team doesn't get younger than in 2/3 years they will be a bottom 10 team' I might agree with that statement more</div></div>

Caps are loaded up front. I'm not a big fan of the bottom 6. Carlson is a beast, Dillon is decent, Orlov is average but after that?? It's tough.Ovechkin is not gonna score 18 goals in 60 games. He's going to score more. As a penguin fan, I hate Wilson to the core. Can't stand him at all. But he's a impact player for Washington. He makes big hits happen in a big game when needed I guess. I think the Caps are just like the Penguins but a year late. This is a huge year for the Capitals. If they don't win this year, then there will be tough decisions made for sure Imo. Oshie will probably be gone. Couple other guys too. We've seen it with PGH. Fleury, Kessel, Hagelin, Hornqvist, Murray, and Schultz are gone. Others as well. Core ages after winning. Just the way it goes.
