Still a lot of buzz about Nate Schmidt
Nate’s tweet out:
Thank you to the @Capitals, my teammates, and to everyone that has given me an incredible amount of support. I really appreciate it!

Will replacing Schmidt be as easy as MacLellan is making it sound? #Caps https://t.co/nTvUL5NbNf

Caps re-sign Christian Djoos, who could get his NHL shot next season https://t.co/6jDEGfOp2i

Christian Djoos had a very impressive season and hopefully will get a real shot with the Caps. This deal is a good sign.

If the #Caps preseason started tomorrow, here's what I imagine who's on the blue line:
Orlov-Niskanen
Djoos-Carlson
Ness-Bowey— Bryce Jurkovac (@Jurky88) June 22, 2017
Ovi speed walking with the Mrs. Gotta get your exercise somewhere!
We already knew about Bowey and Djoos possibly getting a look next year. Mahoney today threw Lewington's name into the mix. #Caps

Follow Isabelle for draft info–oh and us. We’ll be there too!
Off to Chicago for the draft. Caps have been active there in years past, and now they're in the market for a D.

The #Capitals must replace Nate Schmidt. Here are 3 replacements for the perfect flawless unicorn and American hero. https://t.co/7KoCf5ivBQ

With Schmidt gone, Alzner likely to follow, Caps might look like the 2008-09 team. Good forwards, thin D. Diff is, that team was on way up.

Interesting comment:
By the way, there is still absolutely no guarantee Trotz is the coach of this team at the start of the season. #Caps
— Jason Rogers (@HeyJayJRogers) June 22, 2017
Expected #Caps development camp attendees on Monday:
Forwards – Pilon, Gersich and Malenstyn.
Defense – Siegenthaler, Hobbs and Johansen.

Fans continue to say goodbye to Nate and other stuff!
The Caps had a D-man named Nate
Who made everybody feel great
With his incomparable smile
And his fast skating style…— Charlie McManus (@CharlieMcManus9) June 22, 2017
Thank you, Nate, for your spirit, your talent, and the sunshine you brought to your Caps family. All the best. pic.twitter.com/X5haLutwhw
— Charlie McManus (@CharlieMcManus9) June 22, 2017
It was great having you on the team. Good luck!

Other thoughts on the Caps moving forward:
Make no mistake, losing 88 hurt the team the most of the exp picks. But, I'm not in panic mode like others are. Youth movement is needed
— CapsYapp (@CapsYapp) June 22, 2017
Todd Rierden will coach these young D up to be good at the NHL level. Look at what he did with Orlov & Schmidt.

Saw Djoos play in Hershey in Jan. Very good skater. Great w/puck. Needs to learn his own zone better, but he plays a style like 9 & Schmidt.

#Caps schedule looks fairly odd compared to recent seasons:
– Several home and home games
– Many periods of 3-4 days in between games— Michael Remeikis (@reMIKEis) June 22, 2017
