When did I say it's a top 10 pick look up to when I said a pick in the 20s lol when I first quoted your response. Capitals also aren't getting a top 10 pick next year lol

The Capitals have a Top 10 Pick This Year. What do you expect to change so drastically next year? You don’t seem to understand anything about the Capitals. Understanding the team you’re proposing a trade to is a pretty big part of proposing trades in AGMs.

Actually change up the team and try to make the best use of ovi's tenure. Look at when the caps got Forsberg that was a time they missed and then they made a bad trade but the point still remains they should be a better team and ultimately they should ve better how much better I think around where Florida/tampa finished

You just made the best possible case against the trade you’re proposing. The Capitals should not trade premium futures (like any 1sts) for aging veterans. The last time they did that is all the proof you need. Ovi will be fine with the team as-is. The team needs to at least consider what happens after Ovi, Backstrom, Carlson, and Kuznetsov. They should absolutely not make trades that make the team older.

Yeah but no way they fully tear it down with ovi there, signed Kuemper, strome signed, Carlson still playing great. They either go and trade everyone or are a mid team that doesn't suck enough for a top pick but not good enough for the playoffs and when they need to rebuild its the same amount of time if they spent a couple assets trying to get that 7/8 seed in the east.

Caps aren’t the team for this deal but this value is accurate imo. 50% retained Scheifele is worth a 1st.

Thank you I knew I was making a statement with the caps so I think I may have just chosen the wrong team. Can't go wrong with him to Colorado.

Nothing about a small 5M winger is good and for 3 years term lmao you have no clue what a cap is, i cant believe you users are on this site. Its capfriendly not hfboards.. You understand there is a thing as a bad contract and its a negative asset. You dont pick up players like pokemon cards. You need to fit salary in this thing called a cap or you cant ice a team. Keeping Garland means no extension for your good players that will be paid during that same 3 year term. But why let practical thought clearly dissuade your fairy tale. Bjorkstrand can be given away, a strong 2 way play driver winger but nope not little midget Garland that is famous for having Mackinnon throw a helmet at him. Delusional

Replace Stanley with DeMelo

What helps a rebuild more: a Top Prospect and 1st Rd Pick OR a 30-year old already showing signs of declining?

I don't think he gets a top prospect along with it though. If Orlov at 50% (plus Hathaway) is only worth a 1st that was gonna be 28th in the absolute best case scenario, a 3rd next year, and a 2nd two years later, then Scheifele at 50% isn't getting a prospect of HL's caliber along with a higher 1st. I think teams have really wised up about giving up major assets for rentals not being worth it.

I was like "I thought we had him already"

I would be all for this deal for Detroit.

Lol ya this one spells his name a little different

Nobody wants Scheifle. You would be lucky to get a second

Lol someone is a scheifele hater

Lol, someone think a locker room cancer is worth a first and a good prospect

As a rental I'd personally guarantee that a team gives up a 1st foe him how many rental options are previous 40 goal scorers. I'm not saying that he's worth the world here but look at the o'reilly deal. He could probably get around the same minus the 2nd round pick and maybe a worse prospect. You do realize that scheifele is a top 6 player that can be at a 3m cap hit which is quite manageable with the cap of many contenders. Someone (you) just hates him for the Evans hit and just won't let your bias get out of the way of effectively analyzing what he'd realistically get via past trades and comparables. He doesn't have to be a voice in the locker room like he is here and I'd say it's more reflects on wheeler as he was the actual captain and many still see him as one. You're just bias no way around it to not see how a team would rush to pay a 1st a 3rd and b- prospect.

The Evans hit was clean. Scheifle at deadline could get a Tarasenko type of return, not more. A first, a fourth, roster player and a C prospect. Not a pick who is probably going to be around 15 and a good prospect

Yes that's what I'm saying bruh idk where Capitals go. Just imagine I did it to Colorado for 2024 first and olausson for scheifele not retained (with landy out for the year it's less needed) I keep saying the ror deal and look where the 1st is 26th overall. I think you paid way too much attention to the team rather than the concept. Sure I picked the wrong team that's on me but to say scheifele ain't worth a first is just preposterous

I agree, I think its a 1st alone or with a little extra. Not a top prospect
