So Strome has 2 years left on a very cheap deal and I was wondering what the capitals plans are with him after the contract runs its course. If you see strides from little pro do you consider trading him at an increased price on his contract year? Or keeping him around but likely for a higher cap hit. Do you have enough money to keep him around? (probably) but no guarantees. What do yall else think?

Serious ones and non serious ones. Bias or non-bias. Based on fact or opinion. I don’t really care, I just wanna know what everyone is thinking 🙃

Edit: Appreciate all the responses!

I doubt most blues fans know too much about McMichael and as someone who’s watched him play for the last 4 years I wanted to give a rundown on him.

McMichael brings tremendous speed to a lineup, and is great a generating breakouts. His playmaking is about average, defensively he’s not very good. If anything he’s gotten worse as he’s gotten older. McMichael also excels in getting breakaways. One thing to be concerned about is his finishing, which is often being a problem. He provides a great net front presence, getting rebound goals, goals in the paint, and is a great tipper. He brings basically no physicality, and takes dumb penalties. Sometimes his attempts for breakouts are sloppy and can lead to turnovers, but he’s always offense first. Whatever info you’ve seen about McMichael being a Center is absolutely false. I would hope for his sake and the blues they DO NOT put him a center at all costs. He is one of the worst faceoff takers in the league, and lost his starting center role to Rookie Justin Sourdif who was playing his first ever NHL season. Overall I really hope Mikey succeeds in with the blues and I hope the best for him. Enjoy McMichael I think he’ll be a good top 6 guy for you guys.

Heard rumors of DeBrincat going to the caps. Only rumors. For me it depends on what Detroit is asking for, but he is a hell of a scorer. 🤷‍♀️
