Grabner scratched?
What an amazing trade by Grotans.
Got great assets for a guy we signed as a UFA and then beaned the Devils, all in one fell swoop.

If the Capitals lose in the first round, does Trotz get fired? Associate coach Todd Reirden is often talked about as a future head coach. Washington did not let him interview for head coaching positions last summer.
Better then the articles I see about Scott StevensYes and I'm low key worried that he'd be high on the Rangers' list.
Please no. He was horrible with the Habs.a coach I think would be a very good hire is J Martin from the Pens. He is the brains behind the system and D success of the team. Very low key but he can coach. Raw deal in Montreal and wtf have they won since he left. He is great teacher, knows the system and is a winner.
If we want to win in the playoffs, Trots is NOT the guy you want coaching.Going strictly off of Gorton's words, I don't think we need to be worried about Trotz being hired here.
That being said, anything can happen.

Happy Calvert got the goal from a personal POV, but that probably will drive his price up. He's a guy a few of us have been lobbying for. He's all motor. Similar player to Fast/Callahan.
Trotz has a pretty good track record with younger players. Sometimes it takes a coach a few teams to get over that playoff hump (look at Claude Julien).
Only problem with Trotz is the Shattenkirk comments. I'm not saying that's a dealbreaker, but from management's POV, they could view that as disrespectful.
I have a better question. Does Washington even think about blowing it up? I mean, how many times will they win the division and/or Prez trophy only to get knocked out in 2nd round and now maybe even the first. When does this madness end?If the Capitals lose in the first round, does Trotz get fired? Associate coach Todd Reirden is often talked about as a future head coach.

Would be horrific for Hank AND Ovie to never hoist Lord Stanley.
They both hit UFA in 2021, just sayin...They probably would if they were on the same team...

I love Calvert but he's going to get a bloated contract for what he brings as players of his ilk always do.
He's really good at what he does though.
