The up and down season of Alex Ovechkin. Who will be in net in the fall. Unrestricted free agents on the Capitals

 Alex Ovechkin had a sluggish beginning in the first 43 games of the season, concluding with 31 goals.

This brought his total career goals to 853, just 41 goals away from matching Wayne Gretzky's record of 894.

Ovi is now closing in on Gretzky's record.

Changes in line combinations resulted in a lack of chemistry between Ovechkin and his centers.

Assurances were given to Ovi regarding playing on a competitive team.

The question arises whether this team is competitive.

Players like Backstrom, Oshie, and Kuznetsov are part of the team.

There is a discussion about which players in Hershey deserve a promotion, including Todd Nelson and Spencer Carbery.
