Capitals cant retain anymore contracts

Ah ok good call. Skip the retention then, NYR will just send down Rempe or Edstrom to fit Patches. Or pay a 7th to a broker to retain, they really only need like $75k of retention.

Do not trade Rempe to a rival lol

I think that that's fair value for Kaliyev. The issue is whether Los Angeles wants to trade him. He's kinda like a mini-Ovi: shoot first, ask questions later. He has flaws in his game, but he's young and seems to be teachable, but of course we on CapFriendly aren't privy to the team's internal analyses or even thought processes.

I think Caps keep Patches if that's the return.

BMac came out and said not going to just give away UFAs

I dont think LA had any interest in making the team smaller. They'd like to upgrade in size and snarl on the left side.

My question would be this: Whats going on with Robertson? Does he have a path to the NHL with New York, or is he similar to Kaliyev in that he's getting squeezed out?

Something immediately useful. Neither of these players are useful to the Kings this season.

I'll admit it was a lowball, but it's based on Patches saying he only wants to go to NY and BMac respecting his wishes and sending him there

Caps would just keep him
