I still got fubo so will deliver game report for this one.Another blackout for streamers... oh well...
Still have not finished that game so second part post coming up later today.On DVR watch of the US vs. Sweden gamen in the 2nd period so far. Swedes up 2-0. Leonard so far is the most physical player definitely trying to wear the Swedes's D down. Has the best hit of the game. Farraby and Leonard had a two on one early in the first but Farraby elected to shoot.
I’d like to see him be consistent. But tonight he was great. Stood out more than Lapierre. I would like to see him be more dominant.Miro just keeps making great, unselfish, winning plays in all 3 zones. Really impressive tonight.
I respect Leonards decision either way. But i really do believe this is the year for him to jump to NHL. He immediate steps into a top 9 role and learns from the core (especially if Oshie stays). I just know if it is as good for him next year even though Oshie will come off the books.I’d wager the mindset of Smith *could* easily change if Celebrini joins the Sharks this summer. He (Smith) will want to be 1C. Who wouldn’t?
Celebrini will want same. Best way to do that, is start to “stake your claim” as early as possible.
Build a future for yourself, as well as with your teammates.
Caps only have 33 out of 50 contracts on books now. 8 draft picks. Some people to sign. So they actually have a some good room as they won’t all get contracts. They are also at 51/90 reserve players. All per CapFriendly.Since I saw a thread on the main prospects forum, Caps have two guys on their reserve list who will become UFAs on June 1 if not signed. Jake Karabela and Oskar Magnusson.
Any opinions on whether they get signed?
Personally, I could see maybe Karabela - he's younger, plays Center, seems better scoring in a league that might be better - but really I think both guys are more suited to AHL deals than NHL ones.
