This is CSN's Capital's Face Off.

Welcome everyone to this week's Capital's Face Off podcast, Hark El-Bashir and Jill

Sorenson here with you. And we're going to get right into it. We have an extremely

special guest with us. Troy Mann, the head coach from the Hershey Bears, is joining us from the phone.

Troy, thank you so much for taking some time out of your downtime and answering some questions for us.

Yeah, no problem. I'm glad I could do it for you.

So we, Tark, and I have been really intrigued this offseason, obviously, because we're

going to be seeing a lot of guys that you have been coaching up in Washington.

And I know a lot of Caps fans are wondering who we're going to see in Washington.

So we decided to go straight to the source.

And I wanted to know who, when you look at this fall,

who are you guys planning to live without?

Well, I think there's a number of guys.

You know, you don't really want to center out too many guys

without forgetting about certain guys as well,

but I think there's a number of guys that certainly are going to get some great looks in September.

And, you know, obviously the Veranas and the Walkers of the world and barbers and Travis Boyd and with Stevenson,

you know, I think even Liam O'Brien.

So I think it's going to be a great battle come September in terms of who will eventually

earn those spots.

But I'm looking forward to it personally just because it's been two good years with our young

guys.
