you guys realize dvorak is 25 and signed for 3 more years BEYOND this year... lars is 32 and signed for 1 more year. youre paying for a guy in his prime to be your 2c. hense 1st and 2nd for dvorak. I dont think eller gets moved for a 1st. I saw a couple point to foligno trade. thats desperation for a player that fills a hole. foligno shouldnt have commanded a 1st... the market was pretty bare in sellable players and toronto vastly overpaid.

His behavior? please explain? he did coke in 2018? yikes... yeah most GM played hockey coke is hardly a deterrent.. im sureBG did a ton in his day

His character you know like missing playoffs games last year.? Getting covid 2x due to his own behaviors. Washington fans being so defensive over teams GM's like Minnesota which just got rid of Parise and Suter for lots lesser is weird, and baffling

I'm simply pointing out comparable 3c that would demand more than a 1st + to acquire. Its not crazy to think that Eller would be able to get a 1st given how good of a hockey player he is... Dvorak is 25 but have been terrible defensively and has god awful possession numbers. you think Eller couldnt get a late 1st? a 45p amazing 2 way center that could play 2c in a pinch?

the 2 are the exact same point... he missed playoffs games bc he tested positive for COVID. Does MacKinnon have character issues? how about Guentzel? so many examples of players testing positive just a really weird way to evaluate a guys character bc he got COVID like 44.7m other people just in america

Well, I guess you can keep him then. Nobody gives up a 1st for him.

stay logical lol

that was an overpay, and a panic move in response to the Kotkaniemi offersheet

My guy, he is a 32-year-old 3rd line center, who has 2 years left on his deal.

Stop acting like he's not responsible for himself getting COVID. Flat out. He's also been late to practices that was reported on by media. That there's this unwillingness, or denialibility by Washington fans that everyone don't see, or read what is in front of then is beyond baffling. Kuz was suspended by NHL for not following COVID protocols and both times missed significantly amount of time . People that get COVID, yes some of them are at fault

i agree but worse players have received 1st round picks. its not impossible its actually pretty realistic all things considered. would i trade Eller no but if i had to i would expect 1st or a 2nd and a prospect

Columbus traded the forward for a first-round pick in the 2021 (33) my guy lol. again stay logical

Nobody wanted to pay a 1st for nick foligno, that's a fact that was reported on. No team is paying this price for 32 years old with 1 year left on contract especially Minnesota. There's a reason foligno didn't end up @ Minnesota, or any other c's this offseason because our gm is smart not to throw away high picks, or prospects for potential lottery team. No team besides championship contenders Are giving up 1st round picks in the most loaded drafts on 22, 23 in good long while

Yeah again because toronto gm is stupid, and bid himself up. This is the only point you keep making proving you don't have any argument

first... pace and actuals his pace might be great hes never been a 40 point player. Second, i liked eller with the habs, thought he woulda been bruins perfect 3c when he hit FA but no, i dont see him netting a 1st back to washington

GUY!!! you need to ACTUALLY read article and not brainlessly regurgitate misinformation. Kuzy was LATE for ONE practice since being on the capitals. He Ovechkin Orlov and Samonov were suspended for hanging out in a hotel room after a game. Tampa was allowed to watch the super bowl in a conference room lol.... yes! "he's responsible for getting COVID" i dont even have a response to this... its just dumb im sorry i was trying to be respectful but you are just so out of the loop on everything that actually happened its quite embarrassing lol

you have no counter besides saying nobody does this but they clearly do.... lol every year a team does this. its not rocket science you are just to arrogant to admit this is a completely possible thing. so focused on it being the WILD it could literally be any NHL team.

You are just too ignorant yourself and childish to keep calling peoples names, and to think I would believe you over a Journalist is comical. Stay mad though and disrespectful because you don't want to believe media. According to you , nothing media says is true including about Kuznetsov. Yeah he's responsible for getting COVID 2x. Stop being childish, and argumentative over this issue. Yes, it's his fault no Matt how you spin it

Not only here who said no. That you are so defensive proved a nerve must have been hit

Pace and actually pace are exactly the same thing lol. same logic would apply to Dvorak. i guess my main point is its not unrealistic to think he could net a 1st. people made claims that it would never happen...all hypothetical but given his stats vs comparable seems possible

not at all just love how logical most people are esp you. people act like a guy in his 30's wont get a 1st bc ...... no one states the reason and there countless example disproving it. most recently last year with a player less talented in foligno. Again stay logical lol

not childish just calling you out for spewing garbage/ untrue statement...besides you claiming its everyones fault they got COVID. like 5 teams stopped playing bc they had outbreaks lol.

5 teams out of how many? No, I am claiming it's kuz fault. You are just too blind and too much of a homer

1 team, 1gm who was beyond dumb to do so isn't an example. You aren't worth arguing with when you keep pushing the same bs

thats 16% of the league lol. thats a pretty large sum
