Thread: Big time deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CastingCouchGuy</b></div><div>I think all 90% of caps fans who understand hockey are okay with the idea of trading Kuzy. His time has come and gone here and he is hurting the team big time right now. If they can narrow down a good hockey trade for Kuznetsov I think Brian MacLellan pulls the trigger. As far as Marty I think they hang on to him. With the right coaching and D partner he will be good for years to come</div></div>

Marty was a bit of a stretch as an ask, but since the Canes already have 2 Marty party players, why not collect another one. Plus, I just really like his game. As for Kuzy, I’m not a fan by any stretch, but Rod apparently liked what he saw from him when he has coached him at the All Star game, so it would be an interesting fit.

That being said, I think MacLellan sees the writing on the wall. Selling off Orlov is just the first stepping stone. I would not be surprised if we see some more big moves very soon. The East has become exceptionally competitive, and the Caps are more than likely on the outside this year. Unless they make some drastic changes, Ovi likely won’t be making the playoffs for the rest of his career.
