The Isles need a healthy Boychuk, 1 or 2 physical defensemen, and someone in the top 9 that isn't soft as butter. I guess Okposo is kind of physical when he wants to be, but none of Tavares, Nielsen, Lee, Grabo, etc are going to bring that type of game. Adding Byfgulien and/or Hamuis would go a long way, or if you could pry Brent Burns out of San Jose.
A lot has helped the Caps this year. The additions of Oshie and Williams. Kuznetsov establishing himself as a top 15 center. Burakovsky is now taking a step forward. Chimera is having a career year. Wilson has found his offensive touch now that he's not being asked to punch faces and play 7 minutes a night. Orlov and Schmidt have added tremendous depth and versatility to an already strong blue line. And yes, Holtby. The likely Vezina winner. The Caps are a complete team. They're no longer the Washington Ovechkins. A lot of guys have stepped up and thrived in new roles.
