Can't keep waiting on him to make the leap. The skillset is there, but he is just too physically frail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volsmet Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hopefully we hold on to Burky. In other news: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max21 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Seemed like the safest pick, Dale Hunter coached the kid so probably some insight there. Thought we were gunna draft Kaliyev or Suzuki, just glad it wasn’t another defenceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we were gunna draft Kaliyev or Suzuki, just glad it wasn’t another defenceman I’ve heard more than one source claim he’d be a top 10 pick if he was a bit bigger - his pre draft ranking was between 21-35, I like the pick, I think he’s got some legitimate upside (based on what others have said) but I know jack 🤫 about hockey.

I wouldn't just get rid of him unless you're signalling a rebuild which I don't think we'll do as long as 8 is in town. I disagree that getting rid of Oshie would signal a rebuild. The Caps need to be willing trade a player here and there to keep the influx of young talent coming. Trading a guy like Oshie in the next year or two can extend the Caps ability to contend as Ovechkin and Backy get older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been us. Kings came away with an absolute haul in the draft: Turcotte at #5, Bjornfot at $22, and Kaliyev at # 33. That's three potential starters right there. Caps ended up with a nice depth draft, by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANDWARF Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Thank you Mr Orpik Brooks Orpik has announced his retirement. "I've been extremely lucky to have the best job in the world for many years, but my body is telling me it is time to move on to something new," said Orpik. "I'm excited for more family time and to experience a lot of the things that being a professional athlete forces you to miss out on. Thank you to the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins for giving me the opportunity to play against the best athletes in the world. I'll be forever grateful for the memories and relationships that hockey has given me." The 38-year-old defenseman played in 1,035 career games. Orpik produced 194 points and 972 penalty minutes.

Springfield Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Went to the equipment sale yesterday and picked up 3 new sticks. A Backstrom, a Vrana and a Burakovsky. $100 each. Total steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much his own perfomance but rather his effect on his younger team-mates. 15 hours ago, Warhead36 said: Carlson has been here longer but I don't know if he's got the natural leadership attributes that Oshie appears to have. Should be Carlson. More important player to the team and TJ is getting up there in age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burakovsky is my favorite player for some reason, I don’t watch a lot of hockey, but when I do check in he just seems to have a level of talent that’s different than the rest of the “non stars” on the ice ... I hope we keep him, he became a hero for a night down in Tampa last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
