The Washington Capitals will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Who are the untouchables on the Capitals? Peter Laviolette's future

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Hockey Troll of the Caps Chirp podcast joins the show as we talk about how the Capitals have been officially eliminated. We then talk about the injuries and how they impacted the season. Later they talk about the "untouchables" on the team and that all the players that aren't the untouchables should be open to consideration for trades to help improve this team. This year will mark the first time since 2014 that the Capitals have missed the playoffs. How will this team be better next season or are we just looking at defeat again next season. Many fans don't want to part with some of their favorite players, but that's what might be needed to make this team competitive again. In the last segment they talk about Peter Laviolette and what his future is with the Caps. The last time they missed the playoffs they fired their coach Adam Oates. Will Peter suffer the same fate?
