Beck will get his chance eventually. He’s an NHL-type talent in the bottom-six for sure. Love his game.

I wouldn’t expect BMAC to tinker too much anytime soon. Team is playing well. Fehavery needs to season. Siegenthaler is playing very well. Samsonov needs to get some games, but clearly team is playing Holtby as a clear number one. And personally, I really like Boyd in the lineup. Oh, and BTW... Panik is going to be good once he gels with the team. Lots of depth right now. While i love a good trade, there is no need to do anything with roster unless a crazy offer is made or a message needs to be sent.
He basically just redid the entire bottom six, I don't expect anything to change with this team this season, barring injury of course.
I talking more about trades. They will mess with all kinds of line combos. Scratch different players. I myself was thinking about trading everyone from Stevenson to Djoos to Johansson. I just don’t think there will change in top via trade any time soon.

Kempny out for playoffs was massive.
This is a great start to a season. Fantastic.
Carlson is playing out of his mind, but so is Orlov and Kempny for me. Orlov a huge huge leap up from last year. He’s now a vet and anchoring big defensive minutes whilst showing offensive flair when he can.
we have such great versatility in the bottom 6. Hathaway is a beauty down there, as is Leipsic who honestly could have a lot more points and I think is a great injury cover should something happen in the top 6. Touch wood.
Really proud of Holtby for getting his groove going. Could have been a scary moment had he not. But let’s not think bout that.
Kuzy is playing attacking and harder hockey. I think he is going to have a very strong season and another chance to dominate playoffs.
Vrana is playing with the puck like Kuzy... that shot though. Not to dissimilar from Willys shot to be honest. He has an absolute laser that most hockey fans wouldn’t know about.
ease up on Siegs. He is 6 foot 3 and 22 years old playing his first proper season. What more do you people want? He is getting good PK minutes and doing his job fine.
team is looking good.

I sometimes worry what this team will be like without Holtby, yes he’s streaky and yes samsonov is the future but he’s been such an anchor.

I just counted up the bottom six point total (Eller, Hathaway, Hagelin, Leipsic, Stephenson, Dowd, Boyd, Panik). 36 points so far, over two PPG!!
I have no idea how to figure it out but I would bet that is one of the top point totals in the league.

Can we talk about how f***ing amazing Orlov has been? He has become a top-pairing, all situations defender.

Once the junior season is over he can come to Hershey or Washington. But not until season is done. He’ll need to have the full year in Juniors. Pretty encouraging to see those numbers!

I think he’s been the same 40th-60th best defenseman since he got paired with Niskanen 3 years ago and Gudas has been a great partner for him this year
Love Gudas with Orlov. And think Jensen is better on third pair with less minutes. Our top 4 Dee is very strong. Third pair is solid but not spectacular. Team Dee has also been good. I feel good about our Dee both in Capsland and in chocholate town. Djoos is a bit lost in the shuffle but will be a valuable call up if needed.

I think he’s improved some. Still missing that offensive dynamic we know is hiding in there.

Hopeless Caps fan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Protas now leads the WHL in scoring and McMichael is tied for second in the OHL (one point behind the lead). Pretty, pretty, pretty good draft by the Caps.

Did you take into account that some of those players have played games in the top 6. The main guy being Eller who played a handful of games as the second line center. Eller got off to a hot start playing in place of Kuzy. Should those points count as coming from the bottom 6?

Just remember that it is junior. Being a top scorer in junior doesn't always translate to being an NHL star. I could give you dozens of examples.
You’d rather some other teams prospects be the top scorers for these leagues?
I don’t think anyone is saying “oh My GOD.....since Protas and McMichael are leading their leagues in scoring, that absolutely guarantees those 2 will be sure fire NHL ALL STARS!!!!”
rather it’s cool to see they are doing so well in where they are. And it also should mean they are close to being ready to move on to the next level (AHL) after the seasons are over.
or they could be Pens/Canes/Isles etc prospects and their respective fan bases could be excited?
