 Caps can wrap up the Presidents trophy tonight with a win and a little help.

They can capture the Presidents’ Trophy, the Metropolitan Division title and home ice throughout the postseason...and they can do it a couple of ways:

If they defeat the Maple Leafs in regulation or overtime AND the Columbus Blue Jackets defeat the Penguins in any fashion.

Or

If the Caps beat the Leafs in the shootout AND the Jackets beat the Pens in the shootout.

I'm sure Toronto won't make it easy, they are one of three teams we could face in round one, Boston and Ottawa the other two.

I would love the Senators to move down to the WC2 to play the Capitals. Not really interested in playing the Bruins in the first round.


Orlov is really good and I hope they sign him long-term this summer instead of a bridge deal.

He's a Russian, of course he's getting signed to the Caps again.

I hope the Capitals re-sign Shattenkirk and, if need be, trade Carlson to the moon to make it possible. He's such a huge upgrade unlike pretty much every single Capitals deadline acquisition going back to like Fedorov and Huet.

I'm still taking Oshie over Shattenkirk. No way we can afford both. (Maybe either...)

Oshie's good but he's really benefitting from an absurd shooting percentage. I'd like to re-sign him but his contract is really going to suck in like 2 or 3 years. I think Shattenkirk's long deal will likely age better.

How many more good years have Ovechkin and Backstrom got? They work so drat good with Oshie and we've been searching for somebody to compliment them for so drat long. That trio can rule the NHL for another 3 years at the least, it's worth it.

Shattenkirk is worth it too, but locking up that top line is so much more valuable.

I get that and if their mindset is "we know this is an overpay and we'll deal with the consequences later" then I guess it's not the worst move in the world. He's certainly not going to turn into garbage even if his shooting percentage returns to normal. I guess I'm just not sold on the Capitals not being able to compete when Ovechkin and Backstrom start really degrading. They have some nice young pieces across the board that should keep them competitive for a long time.

I'm also really low on Carlson and I'd hate to lose him for nothing when he is a UFA next year, but I want no part of re-signing Carlson at what is likely going to be at least Shattenkirk money. I'd much rather just give Shattenkirk that same contract, if he's not already set on the Rangers, and try to trade Carlson for what is likely to be a very good return in the offseason. Letting Carlson walk for nothing next offseason seems like really poor asset management and while they could get an okay return for Carlson like the Blues got for Shattenkirk at the deadline, they could get a lot more in the offseason I would think.

Shattenkirk, Niskanen, Orlov, and Schmidt is a very good hypothetical top 4.

Maybe we'll win the cup this year and then who cares how it all plays out!

They are the number one worst team in the NHL going for the number one worst pick in the number one worst draft class in the past decade or so. Enjoy that pizza!

TBH, I have no idea what McPhee's rep is but I assume it isn't too bad because it's one of the few things SAS hasn't roasted the gently caress out of Vegas for since things got rolling with them.

Since this draft isn't all that deep I'm curious to see what Vegas does with their 1st pick since they didn't get a great one. Maybe Makar or Tippett?

gently caress GM McPhee, he traded away Forsberg and can still kiss my rear end for that.
