He's UFA so they can just wait til after the draft to re-sign him.

If they want to keep both then both will be protected. Not sure why they wouldn't keep both at this point.

Thread: Detroit Red Wings signed Lucas Raymond (3 Years / $3,425,000 AAV)

Definitely should play at least a few NHL games before the season ends. I'm sure he's moved on from that disappointing WJC and he's ready to go.

Thread: Washington Capitals signed Conor Sheary (2 Years / $1,500,000 AAV)

The thing that frustrates me about the Pearson signing is that now either Quinn, or Elias, or likely both will have to sign short-term bridge deals in order to fit under the cap for next season. When you have a 22 y.o. star #1 C and you know he's only gonna get better and more expensive, why not an 8 year deal? Same with Quinn. The entire team is gonna be coming off a relatively poor season and Benning could get tremendous value on a pair of 8 year deals. Both players could be point per game players next season and their values could skyrocket. Imagine if EDM had signed Draisaitl to a 3 year bridge, lol. He'd cost $12M on his next contract. Maybe Chia just got lucky on that one, lol.

Thread: Washington Capitals signed Conor Sheary (2 Years / $1,500,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Willian_Cardoso</b></div><div>OMG, Sheary has a bad agent. He deserved something between 2M and 2.5M. He's been playing better than I expected for Washington. And he probably would get it in FA. Great deal for Washington. The most impressive thing is the same GM which made this great deal is the one which made THE WORST TRADE IN MANY YEARS to get Mantha. And he did it in just few days.</div></div>

I voted against the Mantha trade, too for many obvious reasons. But, if the Caps win the Cup this season, or any season when Mantha is under current contract, Caps will feel pretty great about the trade. But, giving up that 1st rounder was a little overboard.

Caps choose Sheary over Panik and save some cap in the process. Sounds good to me.

There's also a a Sporting News article that details VAN's RCP with Luongo that provides good context. But, it's a complicated issue.

Thread: What are recapture fees?

Under the former CBA, some GM's signed players to long term, front loaded contracts that circumvented the cap. If the player retires, the team that signed that contract is now on the hook for a percentage of that contract. I don't believe that any contracts signed under the current CBA could result in a RCP in a player retires early. For examples, see Roberto Luongo and Ilya Kovalchuk.

Thread: (PHI/WSH) - Raffl for 2021 5th round pick

Are the Caps serious contenders with that goaltending situation? Can they beat NYI? I'm not sure they'll be able to outscore their goaltending issues against a top notch defensive team in the playoffs.

The best one is Larsson, but Loui Eriksson never did much in Boston and Vancouver afterwards.</div></div>

At least for the Bruins' sake, they didn't compound things by extending Eriksson to what turned out to be one of the worst contracts in recent memory. VAN made that mistake instead, lol.

Thread: (DET/WSH) - Mantha for Pánik, Vrána, 2021 1st, 2022 2nd

Why not 1 for 1? Vrana for Mantha straight up sounds fair to me. Vrana is a 5on5 goal scoring machine. Maybe throw in a draft pick to compensate for Panik? Last season Vrana (24) scored 14 more goals at even strength than Mantha (10). And I believe that Mantha had far more O-zone starts. The more I think about it, the more I think this was an absolute fleecing by Yzerman.

Stevie crushed it. No doubt. Caps take big gamble here. Could be grand slam HR if Mantha hits his potential. Probably not the direction I'd have gone if I'm WASH, but very interesting and very aggressive.

Thread: (CGY/FLA) - Bennett + 2022 6th round pick for Heineman + 2022 2nd round pick

I love this trade for FLA. Bennett will thrive with the Panthers and being in a positive environment with great coaching and leadership from Q and Barkov will help Bennett elevate his game. He'll be solid in the playoffs and FLA can extend him at a reasonable cost. Easily one of my top 5 trades (for both teams) this TDL.
