Washington Capital proves that transformation is working properly during the correct completion

The Washington Capitals are one of the most surprising teams in the NHL this season. However, the capital quickly revamped their roster. Just look at the summer moves, bringing Logan Thompson (now with a new extension), Andrew Mangiapane, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Jakob Chychrun, Matt Roy, Brandon Duhaime and Taylor Raddysh.

Not to mention, they have already brought in Rasmus Sandin for a season and a half. Players like Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie have been no longer on the team due to injuries. After the capital entered the playoffs only last year, it discovered a way to stay competitive before being swept by the Rangers.

In addition to the players added, new coach Spencer Carbery also brings new advantages to the team. Even if the team wins and performs poorly, he lets his players know. Players are also purchasing the system. He will prepare for the Jack Adams Trophy, coach of the year.

Remember, this should have been Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record. He did this because the team won the victory and they were very happy. There was a special connection in that room, which is why they didn’t take a lot of action on the transaction deadline. GM Chris Patrick and Hockey Operations president Brian MacLellan knew that was right.

What everyone seems to forget is that the capital knows how to win in the Metro division. Washington won the championship with all its competitors. That’s why they can play in the in-depth playoffs this season. No one, including the writer, considers it number one in the subway and almost the president’s trophy. But they are here.

As Dave Pagnotta of Phase 4 explained on TSN Radio Montreal earlier this week, everything is right in the Washington capital this season.

Dave Pagnotta: “Everything needs to be moved forward is right. The acquisitions they made, the construction of (Brian) McClellan, Brian, Maclellan and (Chris) Patrick, Chris, Patrick, Chris, Patrick, Chris, Patrick, Chris, Patrick, Chris, Patrick, Chris, Patrick, Chris, and his performance and workout for this club.

(Connor) McMichael is amazing. (Aliaksei) Excellent quality. Let him score 30, Wilson score 30, and obviously OVI is doing what he is doing. Everyone contributed. You have a guy like (Andrew) Mumpahn (Andrew) in the fourth line. You can call some extra reinforcements, and Ryan Leonard entered the mix last week. I mean, so far everything the capital needs to be good.

It’s a bit sluggish lately. But maybe it’s just a reminder that we’re approaching the playoffs and you don’t want to get your feet out of gas. Again, since the focus isn’t necessarily on the record anymore, even in the next few days, I mean, the whole week, that’s going to be the subject. But they can recalibrate a little and turn their attention to resting here for a few days to compete for the championship.

NHL Rumor: What is Alex Ovechkin, the capital of Washington now?

So this is a group, and I agree with you. I didn’t expect the benefits of them this season. When the season started, I thought, well, maybe they were fighting for a third time in the department. Probably more likely a wildcard team. Well, no, everyone in this club proves that we are all wrong, let’s see how much they can go. ”

That is, the capital still has to complete the deal. With Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit, they can go back to playing hockey. They need Thompson to come back from injury. It’s obvious that Charlie Lindgren also got a new extension and was tired.

But as Washington can turn things around, more and more teams will follow this pattern of revamping at the trade deadline and go through trade instead of signing players. The capital is ahead of this, while others start too late and there will be a few tough times for several seasons.
