Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

This could easily turn into terrible stretch of games. Lost 4 in a row and 5 of 6, and next they'll face Calgary who destroyed Montreal at Bell Centre tonight.

After that it's the inevitable loss away at 'hawks.

I drank too much koolaid and now I feel bad


everytime

 

[Capitlols]

No honor for Connor

 

[KevinM]

Imagine McDavid, Bura, and Kuz down the middle in a few years

 

[Dr John Carlson]

If McDavid is a generational talent like some say he is, then surely he will have no problem transitioning into a top-flight goaltender for us when we get him.

 

[KevinM]

If Oates understood goaltending I'm sure McDavid will look like Hasek

 

[trick9]

McDavid would look great alongside Bura on our 4th line.

The odds of getting McDavid or Eichel aren't any good unless you can REALLY suck, and we can't out-suck Buffalo...so tanking for a solid prospect, but not a game changer doesn't sound like any fun.

Don't underestimate us! We're on a roll right now.

 

[CapsJunkie]

Caps need to make some trades, Trotz has to many options. this line juggling is getting insane

 

[msrulo]

Don't underestimate us! We're on a roll right now.

hey buffalo won against detroit... we lost against them... there's always a possibility

 

[searle]

Apologies OP, I spoke too soon!

Apologies OP, I spoke too soon!

I feel like a wise old man seeing how people flocked to this thread after the Coyotes game.

I feel like McDavid's and Eichel's stardom has made other 2015 prospects underappreciated. Oliver Kylington and Noah Hanifin and Dylan Strome and Travis Konecny are game changers.

 

[Corby78]

I don't know about tanking just yet, but put me in the "very concerned" group.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Not concerned. We'll make playoffs as a 7 or 8 and go out in likely the 1st round.

 

[Hivemind]

Glad to see people lining up at the edge 15% of the way through the season.

 

[MrGone]

There is no tanking here. To tank you have to be a good team first. Take away the loser point and shout wins and this team should have been a lottery team the past two seasons.

I think Tortz is the right guy and on the right track. It’s just he has to fix problems that were started way back in the BB days. It’s going to be a long road.

 

[g00n]

Too early for tank talk. This team needs a boot in the ass first, then some roster moves, then rum for Jobu, THEN a big fat tank.

 

[toolboy]

I'm all in on tanking. It makes watching the games easier. However, I think the team is too good to suck that hard. Unless people start getting hurt...

Could you imagine the prospects that McPhee could have traded away if we had tanked earlier in the season the last 7 years? It is never too early to tank. The good teams begin in July.
