Wow yeah good call on Nardella he has an unreal 2 pts/60 in the SHL this season* and seems like he could replace Faulk (contract permitting naturally)

*NHL equivalent is like EK65 / Hedman level 👀

And his nickname would be Nards

Kinda wild that potentially all top 3 LW could change after this year but hey c'mon we all know 0vi will be re-signing with... wait... wha- DYNAMO MOSKVA

Nardella is a solid prospect. 31 points in 41 games last year in the AHL and lead his team in scoring in the SHL. Main reason i said “ If you don’t know who Nardella is look him up. Solid player” is bc some people assume a player sucks if they aren’t a household name. Never made elite level claims but he has solid upside 😊.

Yeah its worrisome bc the capitals have zero high end winger prospects.... unless you play Mcmichael there but imo he’s not NHL ready yet or Protas. I personally would love to sign Iafallo but cap space is a massive issue.


Lol I’m torn bc I think Capitals should rebuild now bc they aren’t good enough to win but they won’t so they will be middle of the road which is never recommended

I hereby question the validity of your post title.

Nardella, while a solid prospect, is an undersized puck moving LHD, which is the absolute last thing the Blues need (Krug, Dunn, Perunovich)

To be more clear he offer Schwartz for Vrana which would never happen but made me realize he was a UFA

Size seems to be less of an issue now days than it use to be but I do see your point. Idk why he hasn’t played for the Caps yet. They would rather have the speedy Chara and Dillon on the backend

There's a lot of defensemen that idk why the Capitals haven't played yet. Siegenthaler, Fehervary, and Alexeyev all deserve better looks so far and would be good to rotate in for Dillon and Chara

Siegenthaler Is gone now lol that was quick.

Literally right after I posted this, I checked my phone and saw the news. Bruh moment for sure. Wish we kept him and got rid of Dillon

I’m thrilled we got a 3rd for him. Fehevary is sooooo ***** good. He is a top 3 talent. Need to play and if they still had JS that might have kept him down. Alexeyev and Nardella are both better that JS also. Getting a 3rd for him is amazing considering Seattle could have taken him for free
