Preseason is rolling on quickly for the Capitals. They are 1-3 with the lowest GF in the league. Capitals fans were not happy with the GM when they traded one of their "top 6" forwards in Nino for a what the fans are calling a "third liner" in Sanford. There has also been criticism of the GM for signing some low rated players like A. Anisimov and J. de la Rose who didnt really help the team secure a playoff spot last season.
Capitals GM was not happy with the team after being the worst PP team that the team hasn't scored a single PP goal in 4 games. To makes matter worse, the team went 0-8 in the PP in their last game and gave up a short handed goal. Changes needed to be made. We think Sanford while rated lower can find a way to improve the line he plays on. We need all our lines to be clicking to be an effective team or else it is going to be a long season of scoring problems.
Below is our current projected roster.
A.Iafallo (72) - P.Danault (73) - P.Kessel (72)
