John Carlson

Like, let – I'm sorry about Leo barking, but it's players over the plan sometimes.

Obviously, Jonathan LeKaramaki has, like, this – eliteness to him there's there's that to him and I think giving him more time with the big clubs don't giving him like the pat on the back that belief and pretty much congratulating him too because he's done it in the AHL he has scored so many goals in the AHL it's yo Hendrickson alluded to the board battles and competing for pucks like learn how to do that at the NHL fail up here and not down there and yo Ryan Johnson said it a month ago like we don't want to yo-yo players Like, like, like, Karamaki's, like, been yo-yoed at some points.

Like, that's, that's got to stop.

Just let him learn at the top.

Another four players, we want to count DPD, Valander, Mancini and Breesbaugh with some serious amateur ties.

So, you know, among the 21 players, among forwards and defense, you have nine with pretty serious amateur connections.

So, you know, Ryan Johnson, man, he's putting a stamp on the seam and he's been doing the work over the years to get himself ready to prepare for a rebuild.

And, of course, end goal, Lankanen, Maryland, and Demko and Hedel on IR.

And I know Kyle also referenced making hard decisions and getting rid of, not rid of, but moving on from players that have been such a part of your franchise.

Well, the first thing I thought of was John Carlson, who was traded at the deadline last year after 17 seasons.

with the capitals and then of course you look at the off season and the trades as well being able to acquire Jordan Cairo and Alex Tuck and things like that.

And so I think that's something that maybe nobody expected, just how aggressive the Capitals would be in the offseason.
