I like the picks Detroit made behind us in Landon Ferraro and Tartar (standout kid from the Czech team in the world juniors). I was hopeful that Ferraro would be in the Caps' system. Best of hard work to all the youngsters. Go Caps! Both Johansson and Orlov look like they might be decent picks for our position in the draft.

Can you bring him in as a second line center? Nik Antropov is available. Can you bring him in as a second line center?

Might be a couple of years, but you have 1-2 draft choices this year who can "rock the red," particularly your second round choice, Orlov (?) from Russia. Not big, but skilled. You did free up some cap space with departures, so signing one good second line center -- which you have suggested previously -- should be a priority. But with the richness of depth that you have in Hershey on offense is a blessing. Congratulations on the draft — you have it exactly right.

I think Lepisto is worth much more than a fifth round pick, I don't see a player equal to him coming that late in the draft. I would have rather seen him stay on the team, but if he was going to be dealt I think there should have been a larger return. The one trade that was made by the Caps doesn’t make much sense to me.
