Locked On Capitals - Daily Podcast On The Washington Capitals

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the possibility of Jakob Chychrun getting traded to the Capitals. On the surface it sounded like Mac made the trade for draft picks, but could he have been doing to get draft capital for a trade According to The Athletic: "• On Thursday, TSN’s Darren Dreger reported that Jakob Chychrun is “a player of interest” for the Caps. It’s unclear if MacLellan is willing to meet the Coyotes’ asking price, but Chychrun is exactly the type of player MacLellan hopes to add in the coming days, I’m told by a league source. The 24-year-old defenseman has two years remaining on his contract at $4.6 million per, and could play a big role going forward."

Later Dan talks about a conversation between GM Brian Maclellan and Alex Ovechkin about the trade of Dimitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway. But there's also rumors of the team seeking Ovi's blessing for a rebuild.

In the final segment Dan talks about the Capitals games this weekend which saw the Caps pick up a big win against the Ranger but totally fall on their face against the Sabres

• In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the trade that sent Dimitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway to the Bruins. The Caps got a 2023 first-round pick, 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick and will retain 50 percent of Orlov’s salary as part of the trade. This is a tough move for long time Caps fans but is an indication of the direction that this team is going in. Both Hathaway and Orlov were on the last year of their deals with Washington. The Caps didn't think they could bring them back so they were dealt. Later Dan talks about the Caps sixth straight loss. This time it was to the Anaheim Ducks who have one of the worst records in the NHL. This game saw the return of Alex Ovechkin to the lineup but Alex alone couldn't save the Caps tonight.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals loss to the Detroit Red Wings. This is the Capitals fifth loss in a row. The problem in the game was a one that we've seen many times before from this team. When the opponent gets on the score board first the Capitals have a hard time coming back and winning those games. The Capitals were only able to muster 12 shots on net through two periods. That not going to win you any hockey games. The Capitals attempted to stage a third period come back but fell short. Later Dan talks about despite the fact that the Caps are struggling it's not all bad news. Tom Wilson get his scond goal in as many games and tonight's game saw the return of Nic Dowd to the lineup. Nic is having a career year and looks to help this team towards the end of the regular season. In the final segment Dan talks about the importance of Alex Ovechkin in the lineup for his goal scoring and his leaderhship skills.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Bob Matthews of the Bob Matthews podcast joins the show and we talk about the Caps recent slide into the loss column. The Capitals have dropped 4 in a row and are 0-3 with Ovechkin out of the lineup. But the bigger question is that even after Ovechkin, Dowd and Carlson return is this team a contender and capable of making a push into the playoffs. Later Dan and Bob talk about the long list of free agents on the Capitals and which players should get new contracts. In the last segment they talk about the games against the Red Wings, Ducks and Rangers and how they have to treat ALL of those games seriously, that includes the games against the Wings and Ducks not just the Rangers.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stadium Series game. This was a great opportunity on a grand stage to show what the Capitals had in the tank and ultimately came up short. Washington is now in a four-game losing streak and have won just three of the last 10 games. This past was an important week to gage if this team should be buyers or sells as we approach the trade deadline on March 3rd. It's my belief that given the fact that There are 24 games left in the season and they’re just out of playoff position that the Caps would be best to be sellers. Later Dan talks about if the Capitals are in fact seller who should they move? In the final segment Dan talks about the schedule ahead and how the Capitals need to treat each game as though it's a must win if they have any hopes of making a push in the playoffs

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the latest with contract extension talks with Dimitry Orlov. Dimitry is the number one Caps blue liner in John Carlson's absence. He has been eating up a lot of the minutes that John Carlson was when he was in the lineup.According to Pierre Lebrun Dimitry It sounds like the hang up is in the term of the deal. Dimitry is coming off a six year extension. The Caps are facing a re-build within the next couple of years - Do they want to give him a lengthy extension with this re-build looming. Later in the show Dan talks about an apparent lower body injury that Marcus Johansson suffered in the games vs the Panthers. Considering the lengthy list of injuries facing the Capitals if MoJo is out for a substantial period of time that is less than ideal considering the injuries to Tom Wilson and Nic Dowd. To close out the show Dan talks about if the Capitals are buyers or sellers at the deadline. Who could they potentially be targeting? March 3rd is the trade deadline. GM Brian Maclellan has a lot of questions to answer

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals loss to the Florida Panthers. This was a game that the Capitals should've won, but found a way to lose. The Caps ended up making it close towards the end but some empty net goal by the Panthers sunk the Capitals hopes for victory.Dylan Strome scores his 12th goal of the season to cut the deficit to 3-1. Seven of Strome's 12 goals have come in the second period. Washington's 70 goals scored in the second period are tied for the sixth most in the NHL. Evgeny Kuznetsov scores his ninth goal of the season to make it 4-3. It marks Kuznetsov's 162nd career goal, tying Kelly Miller for the 14th-most goals in franchise history. Nicklas Backstrom scores his third goal of the season on the power play to cut the deficit to 4-2.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about how the Capitals and Alex Ovechkin mourned the loss of Alex's father Mikhail. Mikhail was a great man and a very important person in Alex's life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Alex. In the official statement from the Capitals “The Washington Capitals organization is saddened to hear of the passing of our captain Alex Ovechkin’s father, Mr. Mikhail Ovechkin. Mr. Ovechkin was a true gentleman and was such a significant and consistent presence at Capitals games and practices. With a constant smile on his face, he loved interacting with our fans and expressing his gratitude for their support of his son, of whom he was incredibly proud. Our organization’s thoughts are with the Ovechkin family at this difficult time.” Later Dan talks about how Tom Wilson and Nic Dowd took to the ice in non-contact jersey for the first time in a long time. They're both a way out but is promising to see them out on the ice. In the last segment Dan talks about the call up of Dylan McIlrath and what that means. Dylan is the captain of the Hershey Bears and it's Dan's belief that the Capitals want to see how he plays in Washington before they sign another defenseman.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about Alex Ovechkin and him being out of the lineup for the foreseeable future. All we know right now for sure is that he went home to deal with a family matter. It's being said that it has to do with an illness to his father. The Capitals are in must win mode and they're doing it without their leading gaol scorer. Family come first that for sure, but it's tough on the Capitals as the remaining games this season are must win games. Later Dan talks about Anthony Mantha's game and that even though hedidn't really show up on the score sheet his game is showing some improvement. In the last segment Dan talks about the Caps/Canes game and that Joe Snively, TJ Oshie and Darcy Kuemper were bright spots in a losing effort
