If Larkin is better offensively than Backstrom than Mantha is ridiculous because he’s only 1 point behind Larkin for the team lead and has 3 more ES points.
right?!?

Seems like hes very happy. Wonder if its because he's joining the Caps or because he left Detroit
prime what exactly? Of his life, sure. What about his entire offensive stat line says better than Backstrom today?

\I think Larkin is a slight upgrade over Backstrom as Vrana's center.
Well that's good. I was sharing to point out the comment regarding his centermen in Detroit vs. DC.I think Mantha is probably a better player than Vrana! I actually think the trade is pretty good!
Welcome, AntMan
Or is it Plant Man
Larkin is really, really good. Just stuck on a poor team. No need to trash him.
If a straight up trade was offered, I'd have to at least think about it. Save some cap space and get someone comparable.
That being said, I am happy with Backstrom. Him and Ovie are best buds and chemistry is important. I hope Backstrom remains a lifelong Cap.
No one is trashing him, but I would 100% not make that trade. Like ever.Larkin is really, really good. Just stuck on a poor team. No need to trash him.

Jesus. Just hit me in the head with a hammer.
wtf is that? Lol.
looks like Ice T circa body count days....sounds like the femmes....as catchy as that badger or whatever the hell that was repeating video from back when aol ruled the internets.

He said he's comfortable on both sides. Just today.I hate that. I'm not saying it won't work but it irritates me how often the Capitals seem to acquire career wingers and then immediately say "let's try you on the other side" and wonder why their acquisitions suddenly suck.
<Insert Niklas joke here>
I wouldn't because of team chemistry. Ovie and Backstrom should be lifelong Caps, IMHO.
I wouldnt because Dylan Larkin can't do stuff like this.
Anybody else notice how excited the guy was in his first Caps interview?
A low-key great part of this play is Backstrom's interception of the pass, followed by his stick handling and positioning through 4 Bruins.
Hockey IQ insanely off the charts, Larkin is not even close
There is no fancy stat that can account for a hockey brain like that.
Mantha plays both sides.I hate that. I'm not saying it won't work but it irritates me how often the Capitals seem to acquire career wingers and then immediately say "let's try you on the other side" and wonder why their acquisitions suddenly suck.
