Can The Caps Trade Kuzy

Created by: JSzymans
Team: 2021-22 Washington Capitals
Initial Creation Date: May 17, 2021
Published: May 17, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
So the signs all seem to be set in motion that the Washington Capitals will at least attempt to move on from Evgeny Kuznetsov this offseason. The question is which team would he actually go to? And I actually think it's Ottawa. He can go there and become an immediate top six guy for them at Center or on the wing, and Ottawa has the cap room to add a big piece like Kuznetsov to try and compete for a playoff spot next year.

I don’t know if DJ will like either of Kuzy or Monahan on this team. They both can get 60-75pts a year but they play no defence. DJ would probably want a comparable to Cirelli or Eriksson Ek

I'm not sure about OTT, but I could see ANA, LAK, MIN, SJS, VGK, DAL, CBJ, FLA, and BUF all having varying degrees of interest.

Monahan's defensive game was actually pretty decent this year, when Sutter came in Sean was given a lot of PK time. The issue with Monahan this year was more his production due to playing injured all year

I heard terms like “floater” being used for both. I think if Monahan was very solid , there wouldn’t be trade rumours 😅

Agree , would love to see him with Kaprizov and Zucc. And then have a 2nd line of Parise-JEE-Fiala

Can't imagine Ottawa giving a top 10 pick for Kuzy. He's not really the same player who earned that contract, and he's a bit of a headache to deal with.

Great list. I've seen decent offers on here from EDM, MTL, CGY, CBJ, and BUF fans. SJS or VGK could use center depth, but are difficult cap puzzles to work with and Fla also doesn't want to take on much salary. I'm not sure Ana is close enough to competing to add a top center this summer, but if the cap works in LA, along with their young talent coming up, that could instantly make them a contender again.
