I want this.


And then we make move for another top six forward and trade Mantha

I also like signing Bertuzzi in free agency. Don't want to trade too many futures because you should be able to make the picks back up at next years draft when you can flip kuzy.

Counter: wait for the jets to move other pieces and try again later. The direction the jets are going is up in the air so before we all assume a rebuild let's wait and see what happens come the draft

WPG is on the fence with this one. Assets and picks are okay. The 2024 pick is the big component here. Maybe.

IF you said... WAS #8 pick in this upcoming draft, I would say DEAL!

If they give up the 8th pick I would assume it would only be in a package to get Keller but I don't see any other possibilities where they move the 8th pick.

I am a big fan of Bertuzzi. I think he would fit in so well with the Caps

A little too much to give up for danish jakub vrana imo

i love this fit tho. he ranked third in the nhl in successful zone entries per 60 and he is one of the few players comparable to guys like mcdavid skill set wise (obviously not as good). i like him better than any other option except for keller but i would much rather keep this years pick

trust me i like ehlers just as i liked vrana and i think he would be a good pickup

its funny to me though to see wpg fans claim that there's no way he's moved unless they get 8oa or multiple firsts or whatever when at every point the org has acted like he is not worth it and it reminds me a lot of how caps fans treated vrana while he was here.
