Offseason Tinker Toys
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoringBrianMacLellan</b></div><div>Maybe downgrade Suzdalev to a Karabela or Hyland? I thought it was a bit of an overpay for sure, but to get a guy that I think could thrive in our system like Laine, I'd do it.
And for Toronto, my thought process was I know they'd probably rather have Jensen, but TVR is a mil cheaper which is huge for them. And he could pair nicely with Reilly I think</div></div>
I think it's just so hard to ballpark Laine's trade value right now. He's missed a large majority of this season and has been so up and down his whole career, but I swear he has the potential to pot 50 in a year in the right scenario. Maybe he meshes with McMichael or Lapierre and just lights it up. I can't see this offer being beaten out by anyone else. I think the 2024 1st and a low level prospect should be more than enough given his injury history and where Columbus is right now in their rebuild.

I'd want to take out Suzdalev but would otherwise I'm not against the columbus trade. Not sure if Toronto has interest in TVR but if they do this could be good for both sides.

I’m honestly…not against that Laine trade?
I see it as Elvis-for-Kemper in a change-of-scenery swap, and the rest of the package for Laine. So, a mid-1st, a late 2nd, and a few lottery ticket prospects?
Cool by me.

Dear Leafs Fans
Good explanation and I agree with some of your points:
1/ Kampf is not going anywhere; he has a lot of value for Leafs not so much other teams. I agree trade is unreasonable.
2/ Lil & Robertson might be on the block because some fans think they are not Tre style players; pure speculation at this point but time will tell 🤷🏻. Lili > Jensen now, not even considering Jensen’s contract, so on that one - we disagree
Allow me to explain something you may not (although you should be , tbf) be aware of…Leafs Nation is the biggest fanbase in the league, by a wide margin.
Even within our own ranks, there is massive disagreement so just unreasonable to speak to Leafs Nation as an entity. More like a loosely associated group of leaderless people who all think they know the best path forward 😉

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoringBrianMacLellan</b></div><div>Lapierre has played his way into a full time center role next season, and Chesley is one the few good defensive prospects the Caps have, so I would imagine MacLellan would have to REALLY like Kuzmenko or Mangiapane</div></div>
I didn't say it would happen, just that they are more realistic than the others

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoringBrianMacLellan</b></div><div>would there be a way to swing Dellandreas RFA rights to Washington as part of the deal too? or is he pretty solidly set in Dallas?</div></div>
He's a pretty solid asset in Dallas. Not going to try and blow smoke and tell you that he's a future all-star or anything, but he's a cheap bottom-6 forward that plays a very good swiss army knife kind of role. He can play up and down the lineup & in just about all situations. Not saying he would cost the world if Washington wanted to trade for him, but I don't see him being added to a deal like the one above.

Elvis Is In The Building
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoringBrianMacLellan</b></div><div>I dunno... I love Elvis' athleticism and always felt like he's been dealt a **** hand in Columbus ever since the Kivleniks incident. I think a change of scenery, and new system, could be huge for him. Plus Elvis' buyout is cheaper than Kuempers (not sure how, but I saw a Jackets fan say that), so if it doesn't work, you could go that route after next season and bring up Stevenson.</div></div>
You can check it out with the <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout-calculator/darcy-kuemper">buyout calculator</a>. Cheaper here means lower cap hit. It seems to be due to Kuemper's signing bonuses. Merzlikins does not have any. It is also the reason why I, as a Columbus fan, am now against this deal and I think Columbus would not do it.

100% sure they don't want to get tied for Kuemper for 3 years while they can just bury Petersen to AHL and get rid of him next summer when his contract ends. The team is performing well above expected, but they're not in "win now" mode, and even if they would be, Kuemper ain't the answer. They can just go with Ersson and a lot cheaper veteran/Kolosov next season.

In or out of the program, the Hawks accept that trade all day every day. If Bear can't play, so what. Hawks have plenty of cap space.

Picks the Caps have traded away
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qc14</b></div><div>Some of my biggest changes:
Cowan was WIDELY seen as a huge reach at the time, literally no one predicted the breakout he has had this year, knocking that deal up a bit in my eyes (even if Sandin hasn't been quite as good as expected as well)
Shattenkirk was the right move to make at the time and was the best Caps D that playoff run. Would also add that Copley and Sanford were considered pretty good pieces at the time and while both have had solid NHL careers, they never really panned out.
The Winnik move wasn't really for Winnik but more to get off of Laich's deal and Carrick, not the 2nd, was a bigger piece at the time -- they made the right call on that one
Your Glencross analysis is spot on though. On the Mount Rushmore of my all time least favorite Caps right next to Tim Gleason, Dustin Penner, and TFB</div></div>
Read Tim Gleason and immediately got angry. I'd throw Justin Peters on this list too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoringBrianMacLellan</b></div><div>haha you can throw Jeff Schultz and Mike Weber on that list for me as well</div></div>
Schultz (much like Alzner) at least had a 3 year run where he legitimately was a solid top 4 guy
That 08-12 run was completely killed by McPhee's refusal to make a big upgrade at D. Makes what he's done in Vegas all the more infuriating

Losing Wyatt Johnston hurts for the caps but imagine the wings, trading UP from that pick only to pick up the second best goalie of the draft class (when the #1 was still available)

I love when people do this kind of research. Shesterkin one hurts but the chances that the caps would’ve drafted him there is so slim so I’ll try not to lose sleep over it lol. Plus Walker got an assist on one of the goals in the 2-1 game 6 win against PIT in 2018 so all is well!
