Man cannot live by Redskins alone
And the rebuild continues, it was due but still sucks. Gotta hit on the draft.
 
Quicky aging and far too slow team. Should have started earlier tbh.
 
I agree. One of my biggest beefs the last 2 years is the refusal to play the younger players. One example, and I've loved what the guy did for this team, but they trade for and then resign a guy like Johannsson, when they could have been playing younger guys to see how they develop. It's not that those younger guys are better, it's just at this point in his career, Johannsson is what he is. He isn't getting better and won't deliver anything more. So you can playing the older guys or you can play the younger guys to see how they develop. Laviolette chose to play the older veterans instead. Maybe all those young guys suck and won't ever develop, but we may never know. Meanwhile, they trade Burakovsky a few years ago who blossoms in Colorado and kept some of these same veterans they are trading now. Just a lot of bad decisions the last couple of years.
 
Yeah. All those newly acquired draft picks won’t mean a damn thing if they never let them play and develop.
 
This was long over-due...


imho it truly makes you appreciate how relevant we've been over the last 15 years. Barring a crazy couple weeks, this will be only the 2nd time in that period we missed the playoffs.


btw... the Forsberg trade may go down as one of hte worst in history.
 
Finally some good news on this bummer of a season.

 
Maybe they can re-hire the guy who took them to a Stanley Cup win :)
 
He is now the GM of the Nashville Predators. But, I get the sentiment. Colossal error not retaining him.
 
Never understood that one - like he had nothing to do with that season...
 
Trotsky wanted 5 years and personnel control, and big money and the team knew this window was closing. The fact we waited this long to trade assets for youth is still mind boggling
 
I’m just a casual fan, but guy wins the Stanley Cup I would think you give him whatever the **** he wants :) We’ve now seen what not giving him everything he wants gets. But again, I’m not knowledgeable about the Caps like you guys so maybe it was more complicated than that.

Yeah, the team has been old and slow for too long. The team’s absolute disastrous record in OT games alone highlights it.
 
Not sure it matters with the roster as it sits at the moment
 
I like this guy. He's already got a history with a number of young players in the organization, a bunch of which are currently playing for a Calder Cup. Additionally a bunch of those guys had NHL experience this past season because of injuries. Not to mention the first time we're picking in the top 10 in forever.. Could be a quick turn around depending on what Backstrom does.
