Nature’s pimple

I don’t think Slaf has to be mean. He just needs to grow into his body and realize he’s bigger than most guys. Takes a while for players like that.

I don't think management is looking to move Xhekaj/Mailloux, but if they're trading for a centre with a team that has a surplus of them, one would think that GM will be asking for a defenceman in return.

You’d have to think the team walked away from their first playoff series together thinking, “ok, we gotta be ready for playoff toughness next time.” You’d think, anyway…

That’s what I’m saying though. If a “nuclear deterrent” is just a guy, not sure that moves the needle in actually making the team better.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d welcome a Tom Wilson type, but the Caps got steamrolled in round two and he wasn’t as impactful. I like Arber too, but can he have that physical impact against the better teams? I dunno.

I’m curious as to what you think that entails? I definitely think they need to build up overall team size and toughness, but I feel like some fans want an old school goon out there, and we saw what happened to Ryan Reaves…

I think starting Dach on the wing to start the season will help get him going. He’s played his best hockey on the wing.

They need a 2C, but not at all costs. You don’t want to get saddled with some expensive mistake right now with the team still improving.
