That trade makes sense for the leafs.

If Minnesota want to give up all of that for Kuzy, I'd do it. I'd rather not trade Orlov though, he's our best defenseman at actually defending.

Did my research on Jensen. This guy's good. When He was with Detroit he was amazing. Sure he regressed a bit with the capitals but maybe they weren't the right team for him or he needs to play a bigger role to perform. Who knows, but in my eyes this guy is worth it, 4th this season in penalty kill minutes and has solid defensive stats with the capacity to play 20min+ nights.

So deal. Johnsson should be good for Washington. His resume of accomplishment s as a 7th round pick has been amazing and honestly he adds good forward depth for them.

I think the coyotes will take whatever they can get for Lyubushkin’s rights because I don’t think they’re resigning him anyway. It wouldn’t cost a 3rd more like a 5th/6th

I actually am coming around to the idea that Orlov is the asset to trade this offseason, even though I like him a lot. But the Caps only have Carlson and Jensen as natural RD, and with Siegenthaler and Fehervary hopefully getting normal shifts at LD, Orlov's cap hit makes him the LD to move. (Particularly if they resign Dillon to a $4,000,000 or less deal.) Then Kempny is effectively the 7th D, or traded. The D I really want from Min is Matt Dumba, who would be a fantastic 2nd RD behind Carlson. If the Caps line up Dillon-Carlson, Siegs-Dumba, & Fehervary-Jensen next season, that feels like a solid 6 w/o crazy cap commitments. (All of this is predicated on the notion that BMac and coach to be named later deem Fehervary ready for a regular shift. No way he should be 7th D in DC at his age. If he needs a season in Hershey, then a placeholder LD makes sense. Lyubushkin's underlying #'s this year and likely inexpensive cap # are making him a popular CapFriendly trade target. I admit I'm intrigued besides barely seeing him play, & I wonder if there will be the same interest from actual GM's.

I can’t see anyone trading for Kuzy, the guy is about to go for his third shoulder surgery. Sounds like his career could be in jeopardy. Not worth giving up big pieces.

That’s tarasenko not kuzy...... lol

Hahaha damn it, my bad!!

I'd do that Jensen trade. He's probably another Holl, but he's a cheap RHD signed for 3 more years at 2.5 million. You save 900k in this trade, upgrade the defense by a tad and get a pick out of it.
