Description

Capitals ideally drop into bottom 5 and draft Demidov or one of the high end D men

Trades

WSH

Yevseyev, Nikita [Reserve List]
2024 2nd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

2nd + mid level prospect. People are hoping for more and that would be great but I’m okay w this.

EDM

Dowd, Nic

WSH

Carter, Jeff
2024 2nd round pick (PIT)
2025 4th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Add depth to a weaker bottom 6. Doesn’t have to be Pittsburgh but they’ll likely make a move to try to make playoffs

PIT

Aubé-Kubel, Nicolas
Mantha, Anthony ($2,850,000 retained)

WSH

Additional Details:

Leafs get 2 draft picks to try to add more depth for a playoff run. TVR is a solid option especially at 1.5m for the next 2.5 years

TOR

van Riemsdyk, Trevor ($1,500,000 retained)
2024 2nd round pick (EDM)
2025 2nd round pick (WSH)

WSH

2024 3rd round pick (CAR)

Additional Details:

Optimistically a 3rd. I’d do a 4th. Doesn’t really matter just gaining picks at this point and trying to send him somewhere he’s comfortable and will have a chance at a cup

CAR

Pacioretty, Max

Additional Details:

Capitals pay the 2m bonus.

WSH

Kaliyev, Arthur

Additional Details:

Kings gain a pick to help add depth at the deadline or to draft. IMO they can flip the 2nd for a bottom 6 gritty winger

LAK

2024 2nd round pick (PIT)

WSH

Brännström, Erik

Additional Details:

Doesn’t need to happen till offseason but imo Jensen at 2m = a 3rd +. Brannstrom = 3rd. Seems like a solid 1 for 1

OTT

Jensen, Nick ($2,000,000 retained)

WSH

2026 3rd round pick (NYR)

Additional Details:

Could be anywhere. Apparently teams are looking into him

NYR

Edmundson, Joel

WSH

2025 3rd round pick (COL)

COL

Lindgren, Charlie

Kings would love to have Lindgren. 1-for-1 swap for Kaliyev would probably work.

I'd do that deal from Ottawa's perspective.

Probably not. Maybe Washington agrees to ship him to a contender? If possible
