    NHL with EJ Hradek
    • EJ HradekThey're going to have some tough decisions. They have an abundance of really talented young guys. It looks like they have worked out deals with three of their better players in Towes, Kane and Keith. They have run into some problems in the CBA as far as the cap. But if we assume that those three guys will be back, it still creates some challenges. They'll have to make some decisions about some of the other guys and while it's nice to be in that situation, it still means you have to make some tough decisions.
    • Christophe (Washington D.C.)If you were George McPhee and the Caps what would you do to remedy their deficiencies, read: defense, between now and the trade deadline for a better shot at the Cup.
    • EJ HradekI think the Caps like their defense and some of their younger guys they have in their system going forward. The fans and those of us in the media look at it and say they need to add some help back there, but I don't know if they look at it that way. They need a veteran that's won before and has a little bit of a snarl to his game. They need that kind of player that would have a positive impact on their team going forward. They have a lot of young guys and they haven't won before. Someone like that who brings a little bit of an edge would be someone that would be helpful for them.
    • Joe (NY)Do you think Team USA really has a shot to compete for a medal in Vancouver?
