In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about Evgeny Kuznetsov and what they should do with him. Kuzy saw a dip in production this past season but was top 3 in goals just two seasons ago. According to Washington Hockey Now: "Kuznetsov’s 2022-23 season was uncharacteristically unproductive — 12 goals and 43 assists in 81 games — he is only one season removed from a 78-point season across 79 games. He tallied 24 goals that season, which is the second-highest total of his career" Late Dan Talks about if Kuzy has a future on the team, and if not, what are some good trade options for Kuzy and the Caps.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan starts the show by talking about the elusive Matvei Michkov. Teams are having a hard time interviewing hime and he doesn't seem like he's interested in the lime light. According to the 32 thoughts podcast: ""Teams want to get to know who they’re dealing with here. What I'm hearing is that in Russia, the teams that could get there to meet him, it wasn’t easy to get to talk to him. You would try to talk to him, set up appointments; he just wasn’t interested," Friedman said. "Like someone said to me the only way you could really get to talk to him was if you physically got to him right after a game and talked to him for a couple of minutes." Later Dan talks about Martin Fehervary a young Caps blue liner that's an RFA but is due for a new contract. “I think I will stay in Washington,” Fehervary said, according to a DeepL-generated translation. “I already got a qualifying offer and we started talking about a new contract. We’ll see how it goes.” Martin should play a big role on the Caps blue line next season. In the final segment Dan looks at the Caps free agents and if any of them should return.

Would the Caps want to bring him back for the third time?

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the future of Lucas Johansen with the Washington Capitals. Johansen, a 2016 first-round selection 28th overall has not shot directly to the NHL. Lucas is a prospect that the Capitals have talked about for years as being the next great blue liner. He's had a career of inconsistent play and multiple of stops on the injury list. His scouting report states: "Lucas Johansen is a two-way defenceman whose game is based on his smooth skating. Good agility, edge work, and strong pivots give Johansen the ability to change directions, and transition quickly and effectively from offence to defence. His good lateral movement allows him to keep the play in front of him in the defensive end, or to walk the line and open up shooting lanes in the defensive end. Johansen has decent speed and acceleration. He could stand to strengthen his lower body and have a more powerful stride and better balance." -Last word on sports. It's Dan's belief that it has to be his year or they should explore moving him for an NHL ready player.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about how Connor McMichael is making the most of his opportunities in Hershey and that he's looking for a bigger role with the Capitals next season. Spencer Carbery is also looking forward to working with the younger group "You have young players that are hungry to prove that they’re capable National Hockey League players and then you’ve got a group of veteran players that feel like they got a bit of a chip on their shoulder and they’re ready to prove something, that we’re still a very strong team in the National Hockey League," he added. "So that experience in that, in lower leagues and dealing with that but that’s the mix, that’s what I’m trying to bring together and make sure that we compete at a real high level.” Later Dan talks about what players in Hershey will potentially be playing on the Caps in the fall. Protas and Beck Malenstyn and potentially Lucas Johansen if he's ready. Ethen Frank and Hendrix LaPierre may require some more time. Then Dan welcomes Justin Trudel of Nova Caps as they talk about free agent and trade targets for the Caps.
