Description

Both players are struggling and really need a change of scenery.

NYR gets 2+ younger and have control of Bura as he's a RFA this summer. They'll also save $1M. They have room in top 6 to really get the best out of Bura's speed, skill, and vision.

Caps get another Russian. They get slightly older and more expensive but seems worth the gamble. Vlad has 1 more year after this one, which is a bonus.

Caps are $450k over the cap but can fix that in a lot of ways.

It's a valid proposal, but honestly I don't know that I'd consider Vlad to be struggling. Obviously he isn't putting up the points that he was with Stamkos and Kucherov, but he's still been pretty solid (he started the year a little shaky). IMO he's the Rangers' best penalty killer by far

if caps could swing it, it would prob be pretty good. Could they put namestnikov in a position to succeed tho? He prob would be a 3rd liner. Would this be sufficient to get enough production out of him? Maybe...maybe not...or maybe...or.....maybe not (period). Orrrrrrrr maybe it would be...unless it wouldnt be

Understandable. For some reason I thought he was a healthy scratch this season but looks like he's played almost all the games. The reason I though to this is someone said he's deleted all of his New York Rangers pictures off of his Instagram, so I thought maybe he was pissed about the scratches or upset at the team and maybe would want a change of scenery.

He was scratched early in the season, but not a big deal.
He might be available, not sure if its a lateral deal like this, at this point in the season. Not a horrible proposal, though. I like burka. Spooner, Names, Strome... They arent opposed to making deals for these types of players
