I prefer they make a trade to gain assets instead of walking on pins and needles waiting to see who Seattle takes
Tailor made to get absolutely destroyed by Washington for the next five years. With Mantha, Ovechkin, Wilson etc all locked in for a little while I find this top 4 pretty soft and underwhelming (besides McAvoy).I still think Lauzon is the one who goes. If they resign Reilly your top four is
Gryz-Mac
Reilly-Carlo
Very strong defensive group tailor made for today’s NHL
Absolutely! Been saying this for a long time.Don’t give Seattle anything.
Let them take whoever they want not protected.
Bruins in great shape whatever happens.
Is that the same capitals that this Bruins team is 4-1-2 this season? The same Capitals team that has losing or mediocre record against every other team in playoff contention? Are those the capitals your afraid of?Tailor made to get absolutely destroyed by Washington for the next five years.

Ovechkin is literally a UFA lmaoTailor made to get absolutely destroyed by Washington for the next five years. With Mantha, Ovechkin, Wilson etc all locked in for a little while I find this top 4 pretty soft and underwhelming (besides McAvoy).
And I “literally” can’t see him not resigning. Oshie 5 years, Mantha 4, Wilson 4, Hathaway 3, and Ovechkin most likely resigned. Reilly was awful in the last Caps game, Carlo is a good defender but overmatched against bigger teams, so I’m hoping Grz is exposed over Lauzon. Hate that contract.Ovechkin is literally a UFA lmao
4-1-2 is a skewed way of looking at it. So they are 4-3, basically even over a spread out season series. It’s a helluva lot different in a seven game series getting pounded constantly () by their oversized forwards. I’m pretty sure we saw that against the Blues not too long ago.Is that the same capitals that this Bruins team is 4-1-2 this season?

Honestly what are you watching? The Islanders are much more of a threat than Washington and they haven’t been the same since Lee went down.
The only regulation to the Caps this season was the 8-1 game where the Bruins best defenseman in that game was Lauzon.
Why protect DeBrusk?
Use his $ to sign Hall and keep Lauzon.
Is Carlo still an auto protext over Lauzon? Hmmm?
Their exact record against a team is a skewed way of looking at it? That’s certainly a “this doesn’t jive with my opinion so it’s wrong” way of looking at things.4-1-2 is a skewed way of looking at it. So they are 4-3, basically even over a spread out season series.

I can’t fight this battle on two fronts lol if you don’t think they’re physical enough that’s fine, it’s a fair point and I won’t disagree.Is it though? You’re missing nasty in there and come playoffs, that is needed. McAvoy is the only one here that plays with any type of nasty/physicality.

I personally think that a transition game is more important in today’s NHL than an overtly physically aggressive one. Lauzon and Miller play a physical game, but I understand they both can’t be relied upon all the time for a variety of different reasons.
The best teams in this league right now aren’t “nasty” or especially physical IMO, but if this is how you feel I won’t outright disparage it. Just don’t share the same view on it
