I wouldn't bring back Chiasson, but solid roster otherwise.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Curious to see whether Copley and Samsonov together are good for as many games as Grubauer. Having one of the best backups in the league brought Holtby into the playoffs fresh and ready to win. In past years he's been so busy trying to prove he's the starting goalie throughout the regular season that by the time the playoffs rolled around, he was in pain and ineffective. Same thing forced Fleury out of Pittsburgh. Losing a center who can win 60% of his faceoffs, take 75% of them behind the red line, and still have an average-range plus/minus is pretty significant. Losing a backup who plays 35 games is pretty significant. The other teams will be thinking about how to improve. Washington should be, too. Giving Kempny 10M for one assist is a nail in their chances for 2019.</div></div>

I could see a new backup being brought in, but might be worth giving Copley a shot first.

As for Kempny, I strongly disagree. His value isn't in his offense- it's in how he can support Carlson, freeing him up to use his offense. 4 years is longer than I expected, but it's not a terrible deal.

Losing Beagle would be the biggest blow. His faceoff and defensive/PK abilities will be hard to replace.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArlingtonCaps</b></div><div>A 2018 3rd round pick for a player that would *at least* return a first rounder plus.... is trading him away for nothing.

You're also wrong about your first point. Not having Burakovsky limits the scoring depth immensely. It puts pressure on Stephenson to be something he's not (a scoring winger) instead of a playmaker. And if there is ever an injury in the top 6, there is no natural fill in.

Beagle's role can be filled by Stephenson, or my preferred option Boyd. Mostly because i like Chandler's skillset on the wing and his ability to use his speed and passing from up the boards.</div></div>

No one would give a 1st rounder for Burra. He's a 3rd line, MAYBE 2nd line forward. All of you are greatly overstating his ability.

And the Caps have no one who can manage what Beagle does on faceoffs, defense, and PK.
