Vagrant
The Czech Condor
The Capitals are not so comfortably in the playoff discussion right now due to goaltending and top line scoring. There are a few things we'd like to address:
3rd line scoring - we have a fair amount of defensive options that could help other teams trying to diversify their g.roup like Alex Iafallo and Erik Haula for example, but we'd like to get more offensive if possible.
Defensive depth - we would love to get a decently strong skating bottom pairing together. We like our defense in the Top 4, but would not turn away another.
We mostly have 2024 picks to offer, but very very unlikely to move the 1st. We have mid round picks in 23. We would consider moving some players in deals that help us this year that make sense. Some players that are due to be rated much better might be good buys right now like Stephen Noesen, Blake Lizzote, Justin Schultz, Jake Walman, etc. Check on these guys production this year. Veterans like Joel Edmundson will be available. Conor Garland would move. If we got an offer we really loved, Sam Reinhart could potentially be in the discussion. Joel Farabee could also move for a more proven slightly older player. We love his upside and what he brings, but our offense needs a kickstart.
All prospects except Nikishin, Miroshenichenko, and Cormier are on the table. Including several on the minor pro roster. Robin Salo, Jordan Gross, Matthew Phillips, etc.
