Unless the Canes move Skjei first, they really won’t have any interest in acquiring your Aho.

I don't think Wahlstrom and a 2nd is worth the "upgrade" from JGP to Kuznetsov. If the Isles move a package of JGP/Wally/picks it needs to be for a sniper, not a guy who, if he has a good year, might score 20-25.

Kuzy will help the powerplay and he's an elite playmaker. That means he will help everyone else more. But he's also really clutch and good in the shootout.

I just did it cus it was funny

Caps keep kuzy before retaining 3 million for that package. I don’t think he will be moved because the caps likely won’t retain and no one wants him at full cost

Does not make sense for Wings to Trade Veleno for a 29 year fringe player

He's not an elite anything anymore. And I'm fine with adding someone that can help in a shootout (god knows they need it) but that's not worth the package you proposed.

Call me crazy if need be, but I would take this for the capitals. We get a center and a good young prospect plus a pick. Yes

Caps pass. That doesn't do anything for them.

One down year and that's it for you ah? I think he bounces back..

I’d take it if the retention was less. Puts us in a worse cap situation otherwise.

I agree, the retention is the deal breaker here

He's been meh two out of the last three years and is on the wrong side of 30 to be banking on a bounceback. Plus isn't he rumored to have a problem with the nose candy? That's not going to help him get back to his previous form. I'd pass on him.
