To say nothing of 10M over four years for Chimera. Both have had great careers, but yeah, the numbers are pretty high for expected future performance.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>Panik is a capdump for MTL so Kovy vs Panik + 1st rd pick or Kovy + a pick alone if you don’t want to deal Boyd</div></div>

My mistake. I agree the cap space is different between Panik and Kovalchuk. But he's eight years younger, and also picking it up a little bit after a slow start. I thought long term, three years out, Panik could be more valuable, but with all the Habs' great prospects, I could also see them just wanting to keep a space open for Barbour or Vejdemo or someone.

Thread: Why I think Ryan Suter could be traded if he waived

I think the retention has to be the same each year. But they can write up a list of how much it should be at each age, and then average it out somewhere around 2.5 or 3. That should make it a good contract this year, even if it still ends up bad at the end. That would allow Minnesota to still get good value for a player who's still pretty decent.

Thread: Danault BUF Petry VGK Tatar COL Kovy WSH Scandella NYI

Kovalchuk has five points in his last five games, and four of them are goals. If he can stay healthy, he could be an interesting pickup for the Caps' third line and second power play unit. Someone's going to comment that he could help Ovechkin push for the Richard trophy, but again, four of Kovalchuk's last five points (and most of his career points) are goals. Will he stop teams from covering Ovechkin as closely? A few years ago, totally. Now? I'm not so sure.

Reuniting Boyd and Barbour to push for the Calder Cup is already worth more than a great third line rental, before adding a third round pick. More likely that the Caps would want to deal Panik, though.

Thread: Deadline Add

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dwight_Schrute</b></div><div>I don’t think it’s a good idea for Vancouver to give up future assets for a rental. Kreider is the difference between losing in the first a second round, if that. He’s not a player that can transform Vancouver into a cup team before he immediately leaves for the states in the offseason.</div></div>

The Leafs have two forwards who grew up in the States under contract for the next five or six years. They seem happy. Admittedly, one was born in Calgary, but don't assume everybody hates Canada, down here. We mostly think y'all are good people, if we've heard of you. :)

Agree that the 'Nucks don't want to give up anyone they could build around. Agree that Lind might be a stretch. Is the rest enough to rent Kreider, if it doesn't get outbid?

Thread: Rumors SJS has been taking calls

Dell, with retention, is worth a 2nd. Ceci is moved for cap space.

So you're offering Burns, with some retention, for Kapanen, Liljegren, Robertson, and a 3rd. Still sounds slightly high, based on age and a slightly down year, but acting like all of the above are valuable pieces for Burns makes it sound worse than it is.

Take out Liljegren and I think a few Toronto fans might come around?

Thread: Hanifin

I think a publicly trade-demanding Bracco gets you RFA rights to Travis Boyd or Christian Djoos, if either of them also wants a change of scenery. Plus a late pick to balance age.

Thread: Trade Deadline with Mtl

Solid offer on Gudas, but he's not for sale, and the Caps aren't throwing in picks.

edit: or their top prospect. Scandella, Folin and Kovalchuk for Gudas is fine though. I think Montreal wins it, on value, but it gives the Caps some interesting options, in terms of lines and pairings. Folin isn't close to Gudas. Folin is almost Djoos, in terms of age, style, and career stats up until this year. Djoos didn't make the Caps this year, but is on the top pain in the AHL. Kovalchuk, the Caps could have signed for nothing last week. Scandella isn't quite as good as Gudas, but if Montreal prefers Gudas, and is willing to add two usable players to upgrade, that sounds like something the Caps should look at.

Thread: Does buying out Martin Jones make sense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>Buying him out this offseason will save the Sharks between 3-4 million in cap space for the next four years, than cost them 1.6 million for another four. The cap is also already tight, so that 1.6 million may be a detriment in the future if the Sharks end up rebuilding.</div></div>

So if they buy him out this summer, they're paying Jones for one year past Karlsson and Couture, two years past Burns, and three past Kane.

Sounds like they're not doing that, if they're thinking long term. More likely a trade, or they just keep him and try to help him get back on his game.

They're only asking a 1st, two 2nds, a 3rd, a stay at home defenseman with five fewer even strength points than Dumba this season at half the cap hit, and one of the stars who just helped Team Canada win the WJHC. Where's your objection, exactly?

edit: whoops. and a usable NHL backup goalie on a three year 1.2M contract. Totally forgot Copley. Sorry.

Thread: 2019-20 Deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>grobkenwood</b></div><div>The Capitals 4th line has been great but the underwhelming production of the 3rd line is somewhat alarming. Panik does not seem to fit the system and Hagelins contributions are predominantly on the Penalty Kill. Eller is having a solid season with terribly inconsistent linemates. There are plenty of LHD in the system to replace Orlov long-term but RHD depth is lacking after Carlson. Perreault should add offense to the 3rd line and Travis Boyd's skillset is better suited for 3rd line if he will ever be a full time NHLer.</div></div>

Look at Panik's game log. He was injured early. he had two points in like his first twenty games, and played a lot on the 4th line in that time while Boyd and Hathaway took turns at 3R. Now Panik is doing okay at 3R and is looking like his usual, boring, 30-point, defensively-responsible self.

That's not to say that Washington won't hold a slow start against him and let him go cheaply, but they aren't going to give up Orlov to move him. That's crazytown.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rja40</b></div><div>You just summed up Sanford. Your proposed trade thus seems to be swapping the same guy plus giving the Note Djoos. Like <a href="/users/STLBlues17" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@STLBlues17</a> said, that appears a bit redundant for the Caps, and if Djoos is decent, it would strike me as a losing proposal for the Caps. Not sure that really helps Washington.</div></div>

Yeah. Probably better for both sides to just do Sanford for Panik. The Blues get a wing that's got a few years of top six experience, and the Caps get more total depth, rather than less. WSH does have extra LHD, but that's a good problem to have.
