Tough to see Oshie and Backstrom stepping away, but I feel the Caps have done a fine job of retooling on the fly while staying competitive and helping Ovie attain the unthinkable. Mangiapani has a bit of fire to his game like Oshie and may be a good middle man on the PP. And John Carlson is very good defensively, just playing way to much. Should be a great battle for 3/4 in division with Devils, Flyers, Pens and Isles and I really don’t think Carolina is that much better they lost some key pieces.

PLD is not a power forward at all he plays very small and very soft his game is almost the opposite of Tom Wilsons game
