He has got to go. They have enough targets anyways. Cut the dumb fvck - DirtyDan
Beasley should be a spokesperson for nfl players association. The guy couldn't be more right, and possibly the best slot receiver in the league. |

this is from sbnation and his top 25 under 25 for the caps
11) Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, LW, 23yo, 6’0” 185lbs (Previously Ranked 15th)
AHL: 31GP - 10G - 5A
The Skinny: Fjallby has been a fan favorite for quite some time now. It’s his buzz saw style of play with blazing speed that makes him so appealing. And, of course, the hair. He’s been improving his game every season in the AHL and was on pace for a career high in points this season. He’s one of those interesting players where he has more goals than assists over his career with the Bears: 24 goals and 17 assists. He was on pace for 25 goals over a full 76 AHL game season. It’s not too surprising since his speed gets him quite a few breakaways and odd man rushes where he can capitalize with his wicked wrister.
When he played in the SHL he was known as a clutch playoff performer. In his last two seasons in the SHL, he played 30 playoff games, scored 13 goals and 20 points (0.67 pts/game), while during the regular season he played 78 games with just eight goals and 26 points (0.33 pts/game). The point totals shouldn’t worry you too much since he consistently kept getting the least amount of minutes among forwards on his team. Unfortunately he hasn’t played in a playoff game for Hershey just yet due to the pandemic cancelling the playoffs the last two years, so we don’t know if that clutch play will carry over to North America.
Potential and Comparable: Usually I just focus more on players that will have higher ceilings, but Fjallby has that ability to be a really high end bottom six player in the NHL, and though it isn’t sexy, you need those players to win Cups. The Capitals probably don’t win their Cup without the clutch goals by the fourth line, specifically Devante Smith-Pelly.
A good comparable for Fjallby is what Carl Hagelin is now. A very strong bottom six player that’s elite on the penalty kill and can get you 20+ points every season. The difference between the two is while Hagelin has arguably the worst shot among forwards in the league, Fjallby’s shot is lethal. It’s hard, accurate, and fast. He might score 5+ shorthanded goals alone every season due to his speed and shot.

What’s Next: There’s really nothing else Fjallby could learn at the AHL. He’s one of the few players I’d have no problem at all if he was the 13th forward for the Capitals. It won’t hurt his development to watch the games from the press box, practice with the team, and get a game here and there. Plus, there probably won’t be a better mentor for him in the league than Hagelin. - Michael Pachla

The fact he hasn't played a preseason game, we are now over the player limit and were trying everyone else except Eakin at C indicates he is gone and for the better  - DirtyDan
I think he played Thursday.

the goaltending on this team is so bad, we should just ask the league if we can play 6-5 and turn our net around.
I do think we will be a little better playing a wide open team game and i think these kids will play hard for meatballs but I fear its going to be another long season of 6-2 blow outs.
I am so sick of Tanking, we have been tanking for 8 years purposely or not and are still n the same position, LAST. Definition if insanity, Being a Sabres fan.... |

Hes gone.
They can find a younger version of him.
I wouldn't be so sure he makes it through this season at this point. |
