<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>All_Knowing</b></div><div>I am sure I am in the minority here, but I do not think the Caps should trade Eller anytime in the near future. I don't think McMichael is a 3c right now, especially on a contending team. He certainly didn't have the production last year to warrant 3c (I know he was a rookie so that is okay), but this team is trying to contend, and contending teams need very solid, confident, and established players down the middle. I just think Caps fans are overhyping McMichael, thinking he needs to be in the 3c spot only because he is young. But contending teams don't necessarily worry about "developing their youth".

Side note, reports say Eller has hit highs in every speed, strength and conditioning tests. Apparently, he looks really good. So why are we trading him when we don't need to and when McMichael hasn't come close to proving himself...? I am actually higher on Protas than McMichael right now...

I don't want to get rid of Eller, but I think he's the first out if Backy comes out. We'll need the space.

I think McM could be 2C right now, he's that good. He averaged like 13th forward time last season and was arguably out best possession player. He was a beast. Put him on the 2nd line full time and I be he cooks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qc14</b></div><div>Pilon is an ahler and Johansen might end up being a 3rd pairing guy, but they aren't that important in this IMO.

The reality is that any team that is willing to move their first round pick, as I'm sure the caps are, will only do that for immediate upgrades and help. Lundkvist and Kravstov are not that. I honestly don't think Kravstov beats out any winger currently on the caps' roster and is probably in a battle for the 13th forward spot at camp with Borgstrom, Snively, and Leason. Lundkvist would probably be an upgrade over Gustafsson this year, but giving up a first in the best draft in 10 years to give a guy who has played 25 NHL games averaging 13 mins a night is not smart asset management.

Unless they can get them for pennies on the dollar which is unlikely as a divisional rival, Lundkvist and Kravstov make no sense at all for the caps. Why spend a first on two lottery tickets that probably wouldn't even get the playing time here they are looking for when you could get Miller or Severson or Sanheim instead?</div></div>

Caps need youth and skill and they bring both. It's a little bit of a gamble but they both looked promising. It wouldn't be for this season as much as for next season when a ton of holes open up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>i think you are overrating pilon big time.
1. Mantha/Oshie/Backstrom all missed a significant amount of time this season
2. he can't be that amazing because Hagelin, Sprong who might i add is still a FA, Snively, Protas, Fjallby, Leason, malenstyn all got play time over him even mcmichael who didn't live up to the hype could have been sent down for another year of AHL development
3. with all the opportunites available if he was that good he would have been given them


and no johansen will not be a top 4 dman ever lol he hasn't been that effective of a player since his last year in Kelowna.

maybe johansen is a top 4 dman on chicago and pilon a top 9 forward on arizona but currently they are just depth guys still and given they are 24 now their hope of breaking out is slowly dwindling</div></div>

There were just too many dudes in front of Pilon. Lav loves his defense first guys so Pilon never got a chance and when he did he scored.

Johansen had a great rookie AHL season, keeping his top 4 progress on track but then those 3 years of injuries were brutal. Had a great resurgence season last year. Could still see a #4 there with his speed and brains, but should at least be a good #5, but he needs to stay healthy to do that.
