Your savory breakfast links:
- With many months of rest ahead of them, the Caps players as well as the coach and GM are putting together their personal to-do lists and their wish lists for the team. [WaPo]
- One thing on that list? Find a way to take the weight off of Alex Ovechkin, who shouldn’t have to (and realistically probably can’t) carry this team anymore. [RMNB]
- Count Max Pacioretty as another aging Cap (for now) whose future is murky, at best. [THN]
- Pacioretty is one of a small handful of players on the current roster who will be a UFA or RFA come July 1. [S&S]
- Grading the Caps’ 2023-24 offense. [S&S]
- The Caps’ early playoff exit frees up Cap One for the Mystics when they host Indiana and Caitlin Clark in June (although let’s be honest, it was probably going to be free anyway). [The Comeback]
