How are his wheels?
The question they ask 4th liners at the gates of heaven...

Lol! Accidental sandpaper. Posh sandpaper. Sandpaper tissue.
So GMBM said he wants more bite.
Added Gudas, Panik and this Hathaway guy.
Good luck dealing with Caps.
PS: Oshie being exclusively offensive warrior now is first thought I got.
PPS: Add better depth in Hershey comparing to last year. Lets win another cup!

My first thought with this offseason (draft included) is that the Caps aren't following the league trends and going speed/quickness. They're staking their claim to size and grit.
I like it for several reasons:
1 - If Ovie and Backstrom are still going to be core going forward, the speed game ain't gonna work with them
2 - Having a disproportionate amount (relative to the rest of the league) of a positive asset is a huge advantage.
3 - The followers of league trends are rarely the ones that win Cups. It's the trend-setters.
4 - Size and grit play well in the loffs.
Agree. Compared to start of last season, you're switching out Hags, Panik, and Hathaway for Bura, Conno, Boyd/Stephenson/DSP. Those new guys are harder to play against and have more well-rounded games than the guys going outSize, depth, and being difficult to against won Blues a cup. The Caps got tougher to play against for sure.
His first few strides stood out to me in a bad way when catching some Calgary games last year. That said he's okay once he gets going and he was still able to PK well so his anticipation helps.Hah! I called this guy! I think I was told he was too slow!

Besides his name, you look at his bio born in Kennebunkport Maine, went to Phillips Academy in Andover and Brown University, you'd think he'd be more suited for the yacht club or polo. We'll just have to call him the "Flying WASP".
A few of these penalty killers will be the main culprits for why the team may be on the PK.This is important. Oshie is probably knocked off the PK so he can avoid removing more tread on him.
Your main PK forwards:
Hagelin
Hathaway
Eller
Wilson
Stephenson
Panik
Dowd
Backstrom
