What do we do if we make the playoffs

lose in 5 to boston

Great

I mean, obviously not going to happen. But I for one would love it (selfishly). I am not ready to have such a long summer without Caps hockey lol

So sure - 10 extra days (losing in 5) -> I'd take it.

depends how far down they could drop in the standings, I love watching them play too even if for an extra week or so but if I have to choose between that and ~5% chance at Bedard ...

Oh yeah - great point. 100% with you.

It is only detrimental to make the playoffs, we will get killed by whoever we play in the first round. If not, absolute best case is losing in the second because we are too inconsistent.

We need to lose every game we can, pray for Bedard and hope we can trade up for Michkov

Toms value is prolly Knies, 1st, and a second.

What it will take to trade him is prolly Knies, 1st, 1st, Robertson, and maybe more

That’s what I’m saying.

Orlov has 8 points in the last three games. Good for him showing the league what he can do. He is a terrific skater and he is using that rocket of a shot

He's always been a guy that can show Norris caliber offense. Its weird cuz it only happens a few times a season in the role he was in here. He is very skilled

Need boring GMBM to break the league and make a wild deal

Trade sheary. What’s taking so long. Also trade Mantha for some good sh*t

People dont like bringing NAK back but I am a fan. He has speed and can kinda play up and down the lineup.

Hathaway will be priced out so Protas - Dowd - NAK will be solid.

No more trades for the team is disappointing. Id give our deadline a B-.

Sheary is not going to be resigned so not trading him doesn't make sense and if we do not resign tvr it will be annoying. Shouldve shopped craig smith pretty hard as well.

Traded:

Eller (31% retained)
Gus
2023 BOS 1st
Mojo
Orlov
Hathaway

For:

2025 COL 2nd
Sandin
2024 MIN 3rd
Craig Smith (worthless)
2024 BOS 3rd
2025 BOS 2nd

disappointed they couldn't move out at least one of sheary and smith, but otherwise great TDL all around

Donato would be a good 4th line pick up next year

Hate that we won but love that Sandin had 3 apples, Iorio and Carlsson both got points in their first games, and that AA led in ice time

Would be real happy with this l

There was concern about Milano and Stromes play since signing contracts and Oshs overall:

Strome: 6 points last 4 games
Milano: 4 points last 4 games
Osh: 4 goals 7 points last 4 games

I think they should be the new second line and bring Backstrom line down.

Good times

Sort wanna see us make the playoffs with the youngings

We can do that next year, detrimental to us this year we have no shot.
