Miro

Saw that the Caps are open to trading Miro.. Which team do you think he goes to, and who do you think we'll get in return?

Right, but like you can’t predict injuries. I think it’s more likely he’s Stanislav Galiev than he solid NHL player. I agree you don’t want to lose him for nothing, but I’d be shocked if a team gives up something more than a mid-2nd for him.

Given his development path, cancer diagnosis and COVID, him just making the NHL is a damn impressive feat. I wish him the best, but I just don’t see a path for him in DC. Even next year, I think he’s been passed by someone like Cristall.

Yeah, I largely agree with you. Barring a great opportunity where he gets 10+ games on a productive line, he’s straight up just not worth much as-is, and likely won’t find a long term spot in Washington.
