That sounds awesome.Djoos absolutely can QB a PP. He just never got a shot to do so in the NHL with Washington's PP structure

As a Caps fan I always liked Djoos. He can play in the NHL as a regular. Sad to see him go, but glad he was part of the cup winning team.
I've watched a lot of both Djoos and Carrick and personally think Djoos is a much better player alreadyActually he hasn't proven yet to be an NHL regular as he has only played 63 games at most in one season of two. Djoos has good speed and offensive instincts for a d-men, but his defensive game and durability are lacking because of his small size. As long as his TOI is sheltered around 13 min, then he's probably serviceable as #6 d-man on a bottom 15 team. As a coach you have to pair him with a d-man who is defensively responsible. Maybe he could QB your 2nd PP unit, but he has done none of that at the NHL level yet. The only reason he worked in the Caps playoff run in '18 becuz he mostly played with Orpik, who almost like a player who coaches on the ice.
I think his best case scenario can be a Connor Carrick player but with more offensive upside
I mean I've felt for a while that he's overrated by the fanbase but it's not hard to understand why. He showed something of a goal scoring touch and Anaheim isn't exactly a world beater offensively. 29th in goals for leaguewide as of today.He is putrid when it comes to defense. Not sure why a lot of Ducks fans have a hard-on for the guy.
But wasn't Crosby-Sprong suppose to be good at some point?
Shame to see Djoos go. He was just a victim of circumstance here, but absolutely is an NHL regular. Potential top 4 D. I can't understand trading him for bloody Sprong. If you can't get a decent return, just a conditional 3rd or something.
