Rumors: 2024-25 Season

[CH1]

I'm still skeptical of the D overall.

Me too…. but I have to admit I find it refreshing that for the first time in decades, our talent upfront outpaces our blue line.

D needs Reinbust to be worthy of his draft slot, and we need a UFA signing. So a solid D is within reach

 

[Habsy]

Karlsson with retention > UFA signing because of talent and contract remaining. He fits the timberline timeline

 

[CH1]

Is Hot Karl at 35 that much of an upgrade over Matheson. The stats and underlying numbers suggest “not much”

You're not replacing Matheson, you're replacing Savard. You're adding.

EK is not a good defender and his offensive game no longer makes up for it

The UFA market is thin

Ekblad too injury prone to throw dumb money at

Rasmus Andersson probably wont hit the market but is a great fit

Chykrun dont think the Caps let him go

 

[Krustchev]

No EK, please.

With Hutson and Matheson already in the fold, my preference would be to add a more well rounded two way player

 

[Habsy]

That's the left side of our D

Thinking next year’s class.

In the interim find another Carrier type.

Savard is cooked

Reinbacher and Mailloux panning out would be nice

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Malkin for our 1st, 2nd and Roy

I saw Malkin play live last season along with Crosby. He doesn't look like he's got much left in the tank.

Chychrun is a good target for Summer. Otherwise not much. Pretty sure Ekblad will resign in Florida.

Florida will probably lose 1 ......Ekblad or Bennett

Chykrun is too good a fit in Caps land and likely is retained

 

[lecoqsportif]

No EK, please.

We need some like Savard. Except better and who doesn’t run out of gas after 12:00 TOI.

 

[Krustchev]

Actually Sam Bennett would be a great UFA add.

 

[GEEMAN]

Actually Sam Bennett would be a great UFA add.

yes but he is like Stammer or Skeji a product of their environment and system and a candidate for a huge overpay

 

[worm]

Savard for Crosby.

Dubas is bad.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Wonder what SJS ask would be for Nico Sturm… as veteran 13F to replace Pezz-dispenser

Left shot a size, speed and can slot in at C or W

 

[Krustchev]

Reinbacher and Mailloux panning out would be nice

One of them is replacing Savard next season.
