not sure carlsson = nylander or that kuzy = girard, both the capitol players are quite a bit older

And in the case of Kuz cost quite a bit more against the cap.

Carlson is 33 now and just had a bad season

Vlassic is penciled in as starting his season in the NHL for the Hawks, they won't be trading him for a cap dump and a 25 year old "prospect"

Sorry I am not plugged into the Chicago defense depth - f me right

"Any decent D prospect"

Please share why it was a bad season...really curious to hear this

Dude got blasted in the head with a puck and missed over half the season. When he was on the ice the Caps were good, when he wasn't they were awful.

people really just saw the caps implode this past season as soon as carlson was out and still want to trade him to replace him with klingberg or dumba smh

I agree, Caps were better with him than without and I think people in the NHL know that, maybe not the people on CapFriendly.

I am ok with moving him for a player like Nylander though, he will be 34 halfway through next season. I do think Dumba is a downgrade from Carlson, but I believe Nylander is a dynamic addition to the forwards.

Take out:
Kuznetsov - 31
Carlson - 33
Mantha - 29

Bring In:
Dumba - 29
Nylander - 27
Girard - 25

To be honest, Frank doesn't pay to move Mantha for future considerations. Hawks already have their own version of Frank they are very high on - Cole Guttman.

Leafs dont touch that

Dumba is one of the most overrated players in the league -- does literally nothing but play a lot, strictly worse than Carlson. Girard is great but LD is not the position we need to address, better than Mantha, but those assets are better used on a forward. Nylander is an incredible player and certainly better than Kuznetsov, however they should be giving up futures for a player of his caliber not their second best roster player.

They can't solve one gigantic problem (top 6 winger) by creating another (no #1D)
