Ryan Leonard Negotiations W/ Caps

ngl i thought he was looking for more playing time too man, just got the sense the caps weren't really willing to give him that @capitals4life

yup that's what it sounded like, caps weren't willing to commit @joe_capitals

@Capitals88 sounds about right. Expected as much from Reirdel's crew, always hesitant to commit to kids like Leonard.

@capitals4life i think that's a fair point, reirdel and co have been pretty cautious with the young guys

ngl i think that's true, reirdel's crew has been pretty cautious with young guys like leonard and also pettersson who just got traded btw @joe_capitals

tbh i think leonard was a casualty of reirdel's goalie obsession, honestly they've been riding with a tandem and didn't see him as the answer @section5wsh

tbh idk if thats an unfair take, man leonard did look solid but they gotta think about that tandem and reirdel's gotta feel like they got someone behind him to bring in

man i agree, reirdel's crew hasnt exactly shown a lot of faith in leonard or pettersson tbh, pretty weird considering the kids looked solid last season @doug_g

honestly i think u might be being too harsh on reirdel's crew man they gotta think about the present and future of the team and if leonard/pettersson arent in it then thats a tough call @Capitals4Life

man i think u might be giving em a pass too easy lol, we saw what happened w pettersson and now leonard, reirdel's gotta own up to those decisions @joe_capitals

yeah reirdel's been all about that tandem thing for a minute now, idk if its sustainable though honestly @nbrennan

ngl thats been my thought too tbh leonard did look solid but u gotta wonder what kinda system we're really building here @section5wsh
