Les Capitals de Washington ont surpris la LNH du jour au lendemain en échangeant le défenseur de franchise John Carlson aux Ducks d’Anaheim contre un choix conditionnel de première ronde et un choix de troisième ronde. Dans l’épisode Locked On Capitals d’aujourd’hui, nous décrivons la fin émotionnelle des 17 années de carrière de Carlson à Washington, ce que le retour dit sur la direction de l’équipe et pourquoi cet échange signale une réinitialisation plus profonde pour la franchise. Nous discutons de l’héritage de Carlson aux côtés d’Alex Ovechkin, des effets d’entraînement sur la ligne bleue et de la raison pour laquelle le directeur général Chris Patrick vient peut-être d’ouvrir la porte à une réorganisation complète à DC. Est-ce la bonne décision pour les Capitals ? Et qu’est-ce que cela signifie pour l’avenir de l’organisation ?

Traded a legend for peanuts. Truly pathetic! There won’t be playoffs until Chris is fired.
I wouldnt be surprised if Carlson resigns on a short term contract in DC after the season if he doesnt plan on retiring and knew this move was coming with that in mind
Loved Carlson and will miss him, but a 1st round and 3rd round pick for a 36 year old defenceman is good value.
Thanks Carlson what you have done for the Caps organization. A great defenseman and I hope The Ducks organization works out for you. Even though he has not played his best this season he is still #5 in points 10 goals 36 assist – 40 points. That's alot to make up for a team that is currently struggling to score. I don't expect OV to be traded, as he's drawing fans to purchase tickets thinking/knowing this is his last season. The Caps organization will squeeze every little they can from OV name for profit. We now have 26 million in free cap space.
Sorry to see Carly go for emotional reasons because he was such a stud and a good guy for the Caps. But, as they say, it is a business. Well done, GM.
Great move!
It would be nice to re-sign Carlson in the off-season for one year
Great trade for the future. Bring players up from Hershey now for the rest of the season. Play all the young guys and give them extensive minutes in each game.
Hey, thanks for the info. I enjoyed listening. Catch ya on the next one.
Greatest D-man in Caps history??? Negative. That honor goes to Rod Langway.
21:12 Isn't 9 picks in the first three rounds over the next three seasons the basic for every team? 22 in the next three years of a seven-round draft. An extra 1st (I'll take it), but basically a reshuffling of the deck.
A 1st and a 3rd for John…wow…I'm really sentimental and would have loved to see John finish here but Geez, that's too good to pass on…and no one is gonna trade for Ovi. he doesn't even skate anymore. in fact he is now a liability on the PP. there is no such thing as one timers from his office anymore and he is a statue. PP is basically a 4on 3 on just the RT side of the zone. That's why the PP is last in the league
Greatest d-man in Caps history – a great player but I beg to differ. Rod Langway was not an offensive juggernaut, but winning the Norris twice is not exactly chopped liver. He was the main piece of the turnaround in the 80s. The team was pathetic most of the 70s and became an annual playoff team/contender in the 80s. Without the turnaround, is there a Caps team in DC today? Likely, Pollin would have sold the team. Carlson's had a great career and I hope he adds something for the Ducks. But I remember Langway's battles with Tim Kerr and others and stuffing the opposition's forward at the blue line along with his physicality and strong play in the Caps end of the ice.
Who gets his jersey A 🤔
