Their lack of center depth is one problem
They don't have a true 1c. At least half the teams in the league don't. Strome is ok but he is a 2c.
Dubois is borderline 2c. He doesn't score enough.
Backy and peak Kuzy..they are a far cry from them. This is what it takes to win a Cup
I read blogs with fans saying get top 6 forwards, maybe a center. Lol. They do not grow on trees. Failure in Caps drafting over the years.
I do agree there are some young prospects that seem promising. So the future could be brighter. Unfortunately the brightest prospects are not centers.

I love the youth, but Hutson's size as a defenseman is pretty alarming.

It's concerning, but he is strong. I worry about injury with his size**

If they go 8-1, and everyone above them goes .500 they will squeak in.

I don't think so. He is still productive. 30 goal guys are valuable. But
