Sujet: Oshie LTIRetire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>Really shallow take here. People expect Oshie to eventually LTIRetire not because of the number of injuries, but what's been injured. The guy's had back and ankle injuries that he's stated has made it hard to do daily life activities, so it's not unrealistic to expect a guy who has struggled with back problems to eventually hang it up. I don't think he will, I've met him multiple times and you can tell his drive to play is unmatched, I expect he'll play until no one gives him a contract anymore. But it's far from moronic to expect that he'd retire with some of the chronic injuries he's faced.

Backstrom injury is also not comparable. Anyone who knew anything about hip resurfacing surgery knows it's not one NHL players come back from. Only one NHL player who had the surgery before Backstrom had ever played after (Ed Jovonovski) and he only played about a half a season before retiring, and the only other sports/entertainer to come back was the Undertaker (who worked about 20ish matches over the next 8 years and required a hip replacement after). It was sadly a matter of time before he retired, everything in that surgery's history led to that logical conclusion.</div></div>

You literally just said that you expect him to play until no one gives him a contract....so why would he retire until said contract expires....................

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>SOOO points dictate if you are a top 6 player or not? GARLAND never had 50 points...? Sheary had 50 points in the last 10 years? Wilson hasnt scored 50 points ever? lol solid take my man :)</div></div>

Connor Sheary is a top 6 player in your mind as well? I guess I can back off my arguement since that'll make it for me....Can he step up and fill in if need be...absolutely...is he a top 6 player on a competitive team...**** no

Connor Garland is 25 years old and has averaged .5 ppg in at least 2 of his 4 seasons

Wilson has averaged above .6 ppg in his last 3 years....he can't stop doing stupid **** and he hasn't played more than 70 games in that time frame...

I will say again.....If you think a guy 71 points in his last 4 seasons(171) games...is a top 6 player in the leage....as a 30 year old...lololololololololol

Solid take on your part

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>people hate Kuzy but watch Washington trade him and he scores 75p and win a cup and those same people will complain that we moved him</div></div>

Caps fans are some of the worst fans in sports....They're blinded by some of the past mistakes and always assume they know better than the GM's(especially this one when he actually won us a Stanley Cup)

90% of the people that complain about the Caps letting Trotz out of his contract were the same people who wanted him fired in November/December the same year...I was a season ticket holder for 15 years and can't remember the number of times I've heard some fo the stupidest **** from "fans" in the seats around me lol

Sorry for bombarding your post...just letting off some steam lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NegativeIQ</b></div><div>Henrique didn't get claimed off waivers for the same reason almost no skater didn't get claimed off of waivers: the flat cap. Henrique's value isn't negative or anything; he just costs money. He's likely still a 50 point center or more if he's playing on a team with established players and not on a team that has yet to develop all of their talent. As for Steel, he's played 129 games in the NHL, I doubt his development is completely finished. In fact, the last Duck we acquired whose development was stalled nearly matched his season goal scoring total in a shortened season.

McMichael is definitely the expected future option, but I'm not sure that he's completely NHL ready, and I don't think management is prepared to throw him in if he's not completely ready.</div></div>


Adam Henrique has had 50 points twice in his 12 year NHL career.....I'd highly doubt "he's still a 50 point center" since he hasn't been one 2016
