Can the Caps win a tough Metropolitan Division?
The Caps made Grade A offseason moves according to Sean O'Leary of The Score. He writes this in the opening paragraph
"The Capitals appear set on being much more than a team content to be on the playoff bubble while watching Alex Ovechkin chase down the all time goal record. Washington was more active than arguably any other team this summer and looks to have improved throughout the lineup."O'Leary/The Score
Obviously the big move was acquiring Pierre-Luc Dubois from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Darcy Kuemper. But as our contributor CJ writes, what kind of PLD are the Caps going to get exactly?
Giving up Kuemper meant the Caps had to get another goalie and they did just that in The Sphere of Las Vegas as the team signed Logan Thompson. It looks on paper that Charlie Lindgren could be the starter but that's another matchup to watch as we're 48 hours from the start of training camp.
It is going to be an interesting season. It will be historic either way.
