Initial Creation Date: Aug. 7, 2023
Published: Aug. 7, 2023

Description
No term commitment with Fantilli soon to be 1C. Sillinger either earns a spot out of camp or plays down and Jenner slides to the center with Texier and maybe someone like Kessel as a late signing.

He might, but the $15.7M in cap space for next year doesn't look so great if KJ and Marchenko earn some long term contracts this year as some people expect they might. That $1.2M in cap space for this year is scary too with near $6M in ELC bonuses between Fantilli, KJ, and Marchenko, plus another $1.8M that could be earned by Jiricek and Sillinger if they make the roster. Voronkov or Chinakhov would look far better in the spot you put Kessel too.

Ya the ELC bonuses was a worry. Maybe Bean is dealt and hot dog man signs for $500K less to free up $3M more against potential bonuses. Kuz with Laine and JG could be really potent.

I wouldn't mind taking Kuzy, but he's on an almost identical contract at an identical age to Ryan Johansen, who was given away for nothing. CBJ aren't chomping at the bit to add, and Washington isn't dealing from a position of strength. I honestly don't see any reason to trade more than Roslovic + 3rd for Kuzy at like $1.5M retained.

I think if the Caps have to retain on Kuzy then it doesn’t really make sense for WSH

Maybe a Roslovic for Kuzy swap 1 for 1 would be better

I could be amenable to that as a Jackets fan. Might prefer to add another player with some minor cap hit as well, like Robinson/Bean/Danforth just for more balance so that Wash doesn't have to retain but there's more breathing room for performance bonuses for the kids in Columbus.

GOD I FEEL SO DIRTY FOR THIS BUT

Roslovic+ Bemstrom and if they need additional flavoring throw the 2024 3rd round pick

I need to take a shower over giving the meme answer as a legit offer...
