Can the Washington Capitals aging roster still compete in a young and fast NHL? Did the Caps hang on to this roster too long?

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan is joined by Dan and Brandon of the (What the Puck) podcast and they talk about this past season and if there was something that GM Brian Maclellan could've done to help salvage the season? Mac knew this team was hit with a myriad of injuries. Could he have made a big trade to try and get the Caps to make a push for the playoffs. It would have been tough, but I think if he made some timely trades it could've helped. Later they talk about this aging roster and if they can compete in an increasingly young and fast NHL. Later they talk about Peter Laviolette and how much of the blame was on him for the Capitals poor performance. Then they talk about if the Caps tried to Hang on to this roster too long. If they made changes sooner, could this team still be young and viable. They then talk about the importance of Tom Wilson and how he could be the future captain of the Capitals.
