They need defensive depth and cap relieve to fill those areas. Not more forwards.

Not to take anything away from Cale, he's amazing, but scoring is much different since he came in, and especially for defenders.

they need a power forward star who will get in the dirty areas and cap relief to go after a real top 4 D and a decent starting goalie on the market/trade

Scoring is up especially compared to a decade ago. Makar is only behind Carlson by 2 points who 60 more games played. Keith and Letang are ahead of him by 17 and 18 points with around 85 more games played. It isn't only catching but it is in how few games he is going to do it in
the valiant effort

2008 preseason hockey was a richer brand of the sport than what they now call playoff hockey. Brutal…

No. They're a division leader, so we need them to not get to Semi-Finals. Edmonton is a better option.

I guess since Ryan Leonard hasn't been signed by Washington he's going back for another year at Boston College. That's a good decision.

There it is, Rags advance.
Wow, Caps have not won a playoff series since their SC win in 2018.

You need as many teams that have less points than Winnipeg to go to the Conference Finals. We are picking 27th and we will pick 1 spot higher everytime Boston, Colorado, Oilers, Leafs, Preds, Kings, TB and Vegas goes to the Conference Finals. Out of those 8 teams, in the East, only 1 team betwen Boston, TB and Leafs have a chance to be a Conference Finalist. In the West, ONly 1 between Colorado and Vegas could be a Conference Finalist. While there's only 1 between Kings, Oilers and Preds that could be a Conference Finalist.
So if my extensive analysis is correct...lol, seems that the earliest we could pick is 24th....if EVERYTHING goes well.
In essence...all this to say...it makes no difference...lol.

Caps are a bunch of old poops…I don’t think they can start trading their young guys (people always making Leonard trade suggestions too)

I can't see Caps trading him. He's essentially their #1 center. He played well, though, as did McMichael.
Caps do have a lot of young players mixed in with Ovechkin, Oshie, Wilson & Carlson.
Lapierre, McMichael, Protas & Miroshnichenko up front. Fehervary, Sandin, Alexeyev, Iorio & Sandin on D.
They have Ryan Leonard & Ryan Chesley on the horizon.
They've done a much better job than Pittsburgh in moving veterans out & drafting young assets.

Who would they play next, Nucks? I think they could beat them. Canucks are pretenders with 2 injured goalies.
