I know this is not the traditional players people show as protected. IMO the Capitals need to play a little bit of chess when it comes to expansion draft, which means maybe losing a better player (Eller, Schultz, Jensen, and maybe Oshie) at a higher salary cap hit to protect low cost high value players (TVR, Dowd, Sprong, maybe Sheary). obviously Idk what exactly will happen in the expansion draft but at some point this offseason the Caps are going to have to pay to move some cap space. There are 3 players that would I would like to see moved for cap reasons: Dillion (unless Schultz is taken by Seattle), Hagelin, and Kempny. A lot of people need to quit this delusion that the Caps are going to trade kuzy for a guy who produces at a lower rate but somehow he team gets better. The Chara & Hank signings could be other veterans that will play for a low cost contract.

2022 4th round pick (OTT)

Additional Details:

Any team with cap space and need for a goalie and return can be adjusted. This is a move to make sure Seattle doesn't take VV and using him as a way to move a contract.

Kempný is LTIR there's no reason to dump his cap... even if he wasnt i wouldnt pay to trade him. He was really solid while playing for the Capitals

He isn't going to on LTIR next season... and he has two major leg injuries in 2 years, moving his contract will cost the Caps.

Like this year he won’t play at all so yes he’ll be in LTIR unless you heard something the team didn’t release yet hmm 🤔. Lol

This is for the coming season, Idk maybe you're trolling, but he was essentially on the roster for the current playoffs. He won't be on LTIR this September.
