Dylan Strome will be their 1C replacement for the injured Backstrom? If so, they may not make the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, they may not make the playoffs. Wouldn't Kuznetsov fill in the minutes that Backstrom will miss? I get your point, and I'm not saying Strome is the answer but I can understand why the Capitals would take a 1-year flyer on Strome. He put up respectable offensive numbers with CHI last year and could still be a potent offensive player at the NHL level. Much cheaper option than attempting a trade.

Coconuts Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 His defensive play, or lack thereof, is going to drive Caps fans nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Really starting to feel like if JT is going anywhere it is gonna be Philly with NYI having a outside chance. No one wants JT. He need to eat some humble pie in his salary demands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the real question. Thus far talks haven't gone all that well from what's been reported, both sides are a ways off. Gaudreau had a preference for the US, time will tell if Miller does too but it's a very real possiblity.

I was thinking that he walks and signs with CGY. If we trade him then yes, I’d love something decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, they may not make the playoffs. A lot of the potential spots for JT have gone the cheap route and they will regret it. I can't believe teams aren't clamoring to add a power forward like JT, with his contract. Reminds me of when the Tanev to the Leafs rumors were flying way back and the Leafs wouldn't offer up anything legit for Tanev. That was a big mistake that may well have cost them a playoff round or more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus far talks haven't gone all that well from what's been reported, both sides are a ways off. I'm not sure they've really begun. 'lil Johnny should be the ceiling. Kardi the floor. If thats the range, then its what term can we live with? People talk a lot about what 'good teams' do, and one thing I've noticed is they tend to try to retain their best players. So lets try that thing. Edited July 14, 2022 by JM_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very clear Miller isn't going to fill that trade gap either. I just don't see how its not a 3-4 year job to restock the prospect pool to the point where kids are ready to step in and play.
