Acquire Boone Jenner. He can be our not so loose cannon Tom Wilson and/or sign Schaller or Maroon. I'd be interested in Smith-Pelly for 2x$1.5M if Caps do not resign him.
guys I would be checking in on would be guys like Charlie Coyle/Chris Kreider/Anders Lee/Josh Anderson/Boone Jenner. see who of these guys might be available.
they thought they were buying a big strong fast winger when they got Marleau and Babcock turned him into a marshmello , we got a big strong fast center in Fehr but Babcock got his feelings hurt and made him disappear even tho he really did go out an do the job he was hired to do every night .We had a five way battle for the last 2 D spots and went with a big strong fast kid in Borgy and Babcock sent him away in favour of a small playing euro D in Dermott , We brought up big strong fast Holl when Morgan Lebda was out and replaced him with Carrick when he came back .etc......
Can you people not see that Bobcock thinks he knows better than the actual winning teams and is going to prove it no matter how long we suck to his ego .
We will be getting John Tavares but I already started similar threads earlier this summa and told it so. We need one of these suckas real hard with our suckas. Boone Jonner or Pat Maroon should be examples we should be getting. Also T.J Brown for the dirty 4th line would be aaight. They some real cheap suckas. Doing hard thangs on mans.
But yeah, we needs and will get tougher. Also our D is getting a guy like De Haan or some otha sucka treal hard on that thang. Y'all see. And learn.
Wishful thinking. No way Chia would do it.We could trade Marner for Larsson.
Completely agree.Not long sir, cause I only spits the real. I can only be that big bad kahuna on the block still. It's all about where you from and what you follow. I'ma leader miself so I'ma spit that hard ball on the real. But yeah we needs to be real too with our leafs. We needs to get tougher and harder. Bigger and heavier too. We needs that maroon, JT Brown type of a killa. Also that De Haan type of sucka too. They real hard ballers for life son. Y'all will be learning bout this thang soon enough. Babcock already lost and learned his. Now they needs to get tougher and fast. Even when the Tavares is brought in our rear ends will purchase that hard baller efect after that one. We'll get some real juicy suckas back. Brown, Maroon.... De Haano. Some of that Van Gogh type. Biting that ear off type of tyson dirt. Ya'll know what I'm talkin bout. That hard balla status. That big dogg status type of thang.

Grundstrom and Borgman are not guaranteed to make the team though. By all accounts they should.
Borgman has done absolutely nothing to show why he deserves to be in the NHL at all, never mind guaranteed a spot. At this point Dermott, Rosen and Marincin all deserve to be up there before he does.
Ozhiganov can provide physicality if he is in the lineup. Although we are not going to look for toughness. They were more than content with sitting two of their tougher players (Carrick and Martin) for almost half of the season. Clearly it is not a priority.
funny how at the time I took those comments from Burke seriously...
fast forward all these years, and if I heard him say those things today I'd be like wtf is this guy smoking
I don't think anyone can deny Wilson, Oshie, Smith-Pelly, Orpik were all significant contributors to the Caps Cup. What do all 4 have in common? They are hard to play against, they all like to be physical, they all intimidate through physical force. What do 3 of the 4 have, a high level of skill. Pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence alone is a 4th line scrub that is as effective in the press box as he is on the ice with his 5 min a game.
The tough thing is everyone is looking for a skilled power forward. the good thing is our top 2 center positions are filled , so our PF will come at the wings. It may sound very odd to say but Hyman was a beast in the Boston series, a few times he knocked around much bigger players and was a hound dog on the puck. He may not be at the level of Oshie but he has scored at a pace better than Wilson and Smith-Pelly.
