Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Kind of amazing how good the Caps are right now.

And a pretty huge indictment of Dubas, given that everyone thought the aging Pens were still in a much better position than the aging Caps going forward.

Caps brought in young guys to prop up their old core over the last few years. Strome, Sandin, McMichael, Protas, Logan Thompson, PLD, Chychrun, etc.

Smart. If PLD gets his head out of his ass and Vrana can overcome his personal issues (rumour is painkiller addiction fucked him up after the injury fwiw) that's a good looking group over there.
 
Another indictment: only 9/23 on the roster are dubes additions…

And 5 of 9 are bottom lineup guys… holmberg kampf Mcmann Robertson timmins

And another: the only dubes draft picks on the roster are woll, knies and Robertson.

Dubas did one shitfuck job here.
 
and most want to ditch Krok Kampf Timmins. not to mention tavares' contract.


holmberg was a dubes pick tho.
 
Every time I've seen backroom chatter about the NHL front office types, they've always downplayed the severity of head injuries, the existence of CTE, etc.

They downplay it for legal reasons just like the NFL still does. Whether it's CTE or sexual assault, the NHL doesn't want to know because as soon as it acknowledges that such things exist they will then have to actually do something about them which might cost money.
