    Default Washington & Holtby - 2 Year window

    The current Washington program and Holtby's performance this year are scaring me. Washington is slow and does not seem able to keep the puck out of the net.

    Is this a long term problem? I think so - but for how much longer can we at least expect the wins to keep piling up?

    When does Washington fall off the cliff? What are the 2-3 year projection here on this program. Do they get faster and lock tighter on D? Where is the Barry Trotz we all love for D?

    Definitely do not see Washington going very far in the playoffs - no surprise... but this is the worst I've seen them since Trotz has come to town.

    They finally aren't expected to do much in the playoffs, which means they probably will now.. HaHa..

    Holtby has been terrible for a month now. Got pulled again tonight. Not sure what is going on with him. Grubauer seems to be doing well playing behind the same defence. I would be concerned if I owned Holtby. Problem now is that shopping him at this time would yield you lowest value.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I think they have clear defensive issues, and the young guys they've been bringing along need to get better, and probably will next season. HOltby is my starten in my dynasty league, and while he's been shaky, this is a one year blip, I think.

    There are some metrics which show him as average considering the chances faced, but that's still a problem, and they have 3 defenders making $5 million next year, excluding Carlson.

    Last night the ducks got an early PPG, then a double deflection in front of the net and then a 3on1 to end Holtby's night, I haven't watched much caps games but the defense look weak at best, not sure if it's Holtby or the team in general.

    That was basically on the team. The PPG is somewhat on him, but, as noted it's a PPG. Nto much you can do about a double deflection, and a 3 on 1 is often stoppable, but requires some luck, and a lot of skill. I pretty sure it's mostly the defense.
