Given his prediction...I think not.Do you know much about the Capitals?
Do you know much about the Capitals? Tom Wilson won't be on LW. Johansson won't be on RW. Malone won't be on the team. What did you do with Winnek? The 3rd line?
To be fair, for an outsider, that wasn't a bad guess. Of course, little research would have pointed him to a more accurate lineup. If Winnik starts the season on the 3rd line, I'll kill myself.
I do think that it's kind of lazy to have Eller as both a player to watch and one on the rise. There are also much better options for players on the rise, with Kuznetsov, Burakovsky, etc. Orlov is another player who will be interesting to watch. And if OV rises any more, he'll end up in heaven. For players on the decline, how you overlooked Orpik, I have no idea.
I do like your final prediction though
That happened already last season.
I could see Johansson on the RW if Sanford makes the team as a LW. MoJo has played RW before. Or perhaps during some mid-season line juggling. I wouldn't project it as a likely outcome, however.
