Capitals 2022 Offseason

I like Jensen, but NSH can get someone else to play 3rd pair via FA and can keep their picks. Would be more interested if he had 2 years left instead of 1-- but I could probably be convinced.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to take on a goalie, as I doubt Smith will retire. I’m hoping he does.. but I don’t think he will. Someone else can take Samsonov, but I feel like you can get more than that for him..

Don’t you have Lauzon to do that? Josi, Ekholm, Farrence, Carrier, Fabbro, Lauzon. Also, you have Myers too that you guys could try out.

Jensen >>>> Schultz. I like Schultz but he's a bottom pairing defensemen now, Jensen is a very strong defensive top 3 defensemen.

Oshie won't be traded and if he is, no way BMac sends him to OTT. Oshie would have to ask for a trade and BMac would make sure he'd be traded to a team he wants to go to.

Keep Sammy. Not worth sending him away for scraps. His ceiling is too high.

I have a feeling Farrance starts in the AHL, so they have Josi, Ekholm, Carrier, Fabbro, Lauzon, and Borowiecki -- if they can get someone to split games with Lauzon and Boro then they're set. I don't think Myers has a future in NSH unfortunately. I wouldn't mind signing a guy like Braun to a 1-year, higher AAV (just to secure him) deal since NSH has the cap space.
