General Sports Water Cooler

Caps have 11th and 16th pick. Doesn't seem like any real gamebreakers to be had outside top ten but a lot of solid prospects to be had. Caps should pick 2 C's or a C and a D.

Draft Griffin Reinhart and Zegmus Girgensons and win the prospect name championship

Our minor league talent pool is basically non existent now with Holtby up. If this team isn't going to win a cup its going to take some Flyers style big time trades to shake up the the roster.

We need depth bad, the only prospects we have worth anything that haven't worn a caps jersey are galiev, grubbauer and kusnetsov and that last one is just a facepalm. There are literally no defenders I have any hope for if we needed to call one up

Center is so thin this year. Jokinen at 33 years old or Gaustad at 30? Its going to take a major trade to actually fill the 2C position.

Would definitely sign Carle from Philly to replace Wideman. I laugh every time I see Bryzgalov $5.7M until 2020 on their payroll.

capgeek.com is a great site to play around with.

I don't see any way we bring back vokoun. He's going to have groin issues for the remainder of his career from the sound of it, and we need a reliable backup if we are going to trade 30. Grubauer needs to stay in Hershey for a full season before we even consider bringing him up, and we'd be forced to do that if vokoun couldn't play.

Green's QO is around $5 mil, based on his current contract. I wouldn't be surprised if he just signs that for a year. If he wants term, it's going to be at a much lower salary than that, which I don't see him taking. Needs to show he can be healthy and commit to taking care of his body off the ice before you commit any real money to him.

Wideman is gone, most other ufa's are too. We will resign all the RFAs just because our org loves to horde all assets.

Keep in mind that the KHL has a new rule now that allows teams to sign a Russian born player, and have it not count against the salary cap. AKA someone could throw crazy money at Semin...

Whats the deal with Kuznetsov?

And I don't see the fit for Gaustad like freddy said.

He's staying in the KHL for at least another year, two according to him.

u are preaching to the choir. i see another fight for 8th place if he returns. and probably some broken bones for Ovi and Backstrom from all the shot blocking.

I think MoJo is a case of getting thrown in the fire too early. He would have been well-served with 1+ years in Hershey, but GMGM grasped and may have ruined him as a result.

Weren't we all saying the organization needs a reboot at least last year, if not, 2 years ago?

If so, sheesh...

I fully expect not to see Semin in a Caps uniform next year.
