Dillon is not a depth player. Neither is Kovalchuk. I'm talking about rotational fourth-liners and scratches that may have some reservations, particularly Europeans whose families may be a continent away for a few months. Sure, Gudas is likely the seventh D and could be needed but if he's mainly sitting I don't know that he';; adjust to playoff pace very well. There were suggestions throughout the last month or two that he may not really be up to it so he's likely to be a fairly limited option if he does play. With them likely having Fehervary around along with at least one if not more other D options as black aces I just wonder. He's got experience on his side and they do love their grit but what if some players just don't want to come back? How would that be handled?Yea....and if that veteran depth player, the sort you sent a 2nd and 3rd round pick off for at the trade deadline is needed in the playoffs after an injury, then what? If the Caps are going to go very far in the playoffs, they are going to need Gudas. They are going to need Dillon. What if both said, no thanks? They are hosed
A 24-team playoff format seems really f***ing weird.
