He's a great fourth liner, that has a good third liner upside. He could be a 14-17 G scorer regularly with Larsson.

Good for him, he's a smooth skating defensemen and just needs to get stronger. He does have some things to work on.

20-25 Goals. That's what I would say is what should be a regular feature. 30 goals would be exceeding my expectations.

I love what he brings to the team, I just want him to stay healthy. That is his only downfall.

I'd rather just sign Franson for 1 year.

All I will say is it's a blessing and a credence to the work ethic of Reinhart to take last year in stride and to work on his weight strengthening program and skating/conditioning to come in and use all the press on Eichel as further ammo to press forward. It's great to have both in our stable. I truly loved watching Reinhart play as much as I do Eichel already. I would say the drop off after these two is a bit large but guys like Bailey and others have upside!

Still watching the scrimmage streamed :D

Samson will be more than just fine.

Not a terrible idea at all!

He's also a headache from what most Caps boards/fans have said. He's enigmatic and while he might play motivated this season, I don't even want him to tamper with the development of the young guys. If you want to add another top 6 forward, I'm all about Stewart or Glencross.

I'd rather bring back Stewart. He makes more sense for the team build.

Sweet, and we get to see Eichel in development camp this week. I might be going Tuesday.

Ennis-O'Reilly-Kane Moulson-Eichel-Stewart McGinn-Girgensons-Gionta Foligno-Larsson-Deslauriers How I would view it with Stewart included.

I'd be so in on Franson. Regardless of his right-handedness.

I still see a spot in the top 6. Legwand doesn't fit on the wing. Gionta is a third line RW. I could easily see Stewart here. But, that's me. They still need a defensemen. Colaiacovo is not the answer. He's a complete scrub.

Honestly, he's terrible. He's no better than Benoit from last season. If this is the defensemen to fit in the top six, we might a well bring back Andrej Meszaros.

We'll take Bickell if you're shipping us Ville Pokka. He'd be a nice guy to replace Zadorov in our system. He had a great first year in the AHL.

I honestly cannot fault their GM. He's rebuilding that porous team. They're a joke. Kassian had a horrible work ethic and supposedly was too eager to voice his opinion on things. Half their defense group is 30+, Kesler insisted on a trade where he couldn't get what he would have. Benning has done a really good job, as has Dejardins. They're expecting more than what they should, with the state of that team. Burrows, Bieksa and other issues there.

w/e. This team going forward is fine! We'll add some more youth as we go forward.

Anisimov though I'm not a fan will be a huge hole to fill. They have Wennberg up, but he's going to still be a season or two more away from being a complete second/third line player. Dano had 21 points in 30 games, and was just starting to blossom into a quality C/LW. Saad was a great trade for them, but they gave up a lot of value.

I love Brodziak at that cost. Great addition to any team for under a mil. For faceoff's alone. He's a much better player than McCormick is. How did that bum get 3 years of term.

It's all good, I'm just excited to get it done!

Any news on O'Reilly extension?

There is 0 chance Ehrhoff is coming back. That makes about as much sense as calling Miro Satan to have him tryout in the top 6.

Stewart on a lower term 2 year deal!
