Team: 2023-24 Washington Capitals

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 23, 2024

Published: Feb. 29, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Trades

WSH

2025 3rd round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

Can go to any team, there were just murmurs that COL was asking about him so I just picked them.

COL

Edmundson, Joel

WSH

2024 1st round pick (VGK)

Additional Details:

Mantha is definitely getting a 2nd+ but there's talks he could get a 1st now after Guentzel is moved. Again, will probably be a 2nd but hoping for the best.

VGK

Mantha, Anthony ($2,650,000 retained)
2024 3rd round pick (WSH)

WSH

Liljegren, Timothy
2024 3rd round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

They scratched Lilly again in order to go with all lefties on D. That's not good. TOR gets a top defensive RHD that can play up in and down the lineup in TvR and Caps get a young puck moving RHD.

TOR

van Riemsdyk, Trevor
2025 2nd round pick (BOS)

WSH

Kaliyev, Arthur

Additional Details:

LA keeps scratching Kaliyev. They get a good goalie on the cheap for this season and next. Lindgren will thrive under a great 5v5 team like LA and won't be hung out to dry like he does in DC. Caps get a young forward with potential.

LAK

Lindgren, Charlie
2024 3rd round pick (BOS)

WSH

Brown, Connor
Ceci, Cody
2024 2nd round pick (EDM)
2025 1st round pick (EDM)
2026 2nd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

EDM get stacked with elite defensive center for this season and next, as well as top 4 defensive defensemen Jensen for only $3.5 the next 2 seasons after this, then a great depth scorer in Pacioretty. They also shed Ceci's contract. Caps take Brown back to make money work.

Dowd = 1st
Jensen = 2nd
Ceci + Pac = 2nd

EDM

Dowd, Nic
Jensen, Nick ($500,050 retained)
Pacioretty, Max ($1,000,000 retained)

Retained Salary Transactions

Anthony Mantha: $2,650,000 (92.98%)
Nick Jensen: $500,050 (12.35%)
Max Pacioretty: $1,000,000 (50%)

Leafs pass

Liljegren wasn’t scratched, he’s day to day. I doubt the leafs trade Liljegren, they need RHD.

Vegas isn't one of the front runners for Mantha. I would predict he is either going to the Leafs or the Oilers

Yea I think Liljegren saved his spot in Toronto during that 7 game W streak.

Edmonton isn't paying to move Ceci, that's idiotic. He's a legit 2nd pairing defenseman on a good contract, that has value.

And Dowd isn't worth a 1st. Brown is a nothingburger in this deal as he can be buried for free.

Does Edmonton get any cap relief next year from his performance bonus if they move him at the trade deadline?

No idea why the Avs would be interested. About the last thing they need is to be paying 3.5 for another D on the third pair.

No, they have already paid Brown his bonus, so they're stuck with the bonus cap hit no matter what.

Eh it's a stretch to say Ceci is 2nd pair, he's a 3rd pair guy getting paid too much. Plus reports are if EDM wants to free up space he's be one of the 1st to go.

Dowd is worth a 1st. Crazy people think he isn't.

Like I said it can be any team, it was just COL was interested supposidely. And Edmundson is worth $1.75M, not $3.5M.

My bad, had forgotten MTL retained but even then I can't really see the need for the Avs to add cap for a 6D at that amount with 2C and 2G still unresolved.
