The Capitals held their break down day this morning at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. The team cleaned their lockers and spoke to the media one last time before they endure another summer of “what if’s”. One of the players the Capitals want to keep on their team next season is T.J. Oshie who enters the offseason an unrestricted free agent.
A lot of fans want Oshie to stay and Oshie himself feels no different.
Oshie says he still feels like part of the team and would like to come back, but doesn’t know what his future is #Caps

Oshie said his agent had a very brief chat with MacLellan, just to ask if he likes it here. Oshie said he loves it here.

Oshie scored a career-high 33 goals and was an integral part of a top line that included Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. We shall see what happens in the coming months.
