Charlie O'ConnorHOST
Okay.
Bill MatzHOST
My dark horse is Ilya Protas.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
Interesting.
Bill MatzHOST
Like, I think the Capitals are gonna be good this year.
Jeff MarekHOST
Yeah.
Jeff MarekHOST
You know, the one guy that I'm really curious about is Ilya Protas.
Jeff MarekHOST
And like I watched him play in the Ontario Hockey League and he was full stop the best player in the league with the Windsor's midfires.
Jeff MarekHOST
Like full stop, like the best player in the league.
Connor McKennaHOST
10 points in 14 games last year for the Capitals.
Connor McKennaHOST
Ilya Protas, another brother.
Connor McKennaHOST
He is the brother of Alexei Protas, the gigantic winger of the Capitals.
Connor McKennaHOST
He was the AHL Rookie of the Year last year.

Matt MarcheseHOST
Uh, then you had Dylan Strome between Alex Ovechkin and Ryan Leonard.
Matt MarcheseHOST
And then we had wondered, where does Jordan Kyrou fit into all of this, and how can they get the most out of Jordan Kyrou? Well, how about you put him with the law firm of Protas and Protas, Ilya and Alexi? Ilya, Ilya Protas in the middle, Alexi Protas on the left wing, Jordan Kyrou on the right.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Really like the upside of that line as well.
Matt MarcheseHOST
And then Justin Sortef, fresh off of a new contract extension [smacks lips] he's on a line with Anthony Beauvillier and Boone Jenner.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Like Pierre-Luc Dubois is a big dude.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Tom Wilson's a big dude.
Matt MarcheseHOST
We already know about the Protas brothers, who are like six five and 240 pounds each, and they can play.
Matt MarcheseHOST
I get why Spencer Carbery [chuckles] was so excited for this group because it looks like a lot of fun.
Chris MeaneyHOST
This is a good problem for the Capitals to have, not only for now to have one of the most robust fantasy pictures in the whole league in terms of their forward group, but also for the day that comes eventually where Ovechkin's not on the team anymore a year or two down the line, and you have to kind of move forward.
Chris MeaneyHOST
You have all this young talent, Cole Hudson, Ryan Leonard, Ilya Protas.
Chris MeaneyHOST
Whether it happens this year or down the road, keep an eye on Leonard or Protas on the waiver wire.
Chris MeaneyHOST
And Alexi Protas is a damn good fantasy player as well in his own right.
Matt LarkinGUEST
So, um, in terms of a team that's gonna take a huge step forward in production, the Washington Capitals are absolutely stacked.
Matt LarkinGUEST
Even if you're reaching at the end of your draft, you could take rookies like Cole Hudson and Ilya Protas.
Matt LarkinGUEST
They have major potential, and there's just no bad line on that team.
Matt LarkinGUEST
So whoever's out there, whoever they're with, whoever their line mates are, they're gonna be piling up points.
Sammi SilberGUEST
Um, but at the same time, you also have to consider, you know, who's gonna fit where.
Sammi SilberGUEST
You know, where do you put Alex Tuch? Where do you put Jordan Kyrou? Where does Ovechkin piece in all of this? Ilya Protas is a center.
Sammi SilberGUEST
Justin Sortof is a center.
Sammi SilberGUEST
Boone Jenner can also play center, but he's likely to be utilized on the wing, you know? And then you look at guys like Anthony Beauvillier, who he, he might have to really fight for a full-time spot in the lineup, whereas he was playing top line minutes last year.
Matt LarkinGUEST
So in terms of a team that's going to take a huge step forward in production, the Washington Capitals are absolutely stacked.
Matt LarkinGUEST
Even if you're reaching at the end of your draft, you could take rookies like Cole Hudson and Ilya Protas.

Alexis Lavoie-MartelHOST
Ryan Leonard qu'on vient de prolonger longtemps.
Alexis Lavoie-MartelHOST
T'as sûrement Ilya Protas qui va commencer aussi.
Alexis Lavoie-MartelHOST
T'as son frère, t'as Ovi qui revient, t'as Dubois, t'as Strom.
Alexis Lavoie-MartelHOST
Présentement, Sourdif est prévu comme le quatrième centre de cette formation-là.
