Thread: Since Greenway trades are hot fire today
Doubt the Caps move a goalie during this season.

Last year a Minnesota fan suggested Greenway and Hartman for Eller, but if Hartman is playing well at #2C now, that's probably off.

I imagine Greenway has more trade value than Hagelin, but Hagelin seems like a good fit on the Caps fourth line.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>I think the issue on Caps side is where they'd play Greenway. They are already stacked at wing: Ovi, Mantha, Wilson, Oshie, Sprong, Sheary with McMichael most likely replacing Sheary next season. So maybe if they move on from Sprong?</div></div>

" if there’s salary you’d want to clear out..."

Sprong plus minor-league Kempny almost adds up to Greenway's cap hit. Should be a workable option for each side, if Cholowski makes Kempny available. No guarantee on when/if Kempny makes an impact in the NHL again, but Sprong led the Caps in points/60 last year. If Kempny can come back for the playoffs, that's a bonus.

Kempny played top pair for the Cup run in '18, but he's been through some knee injuries, so I don't know if he has any trade value right now. On top of Sprong, WSH probably adds a 5th.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div><strong>DADANOV!</strong>

Capitals realistically won't have the space for him, while Oshie is out for a while and Backstrom is on LTIR, Backy should be back soon which really effs the cap situation regardless of a dadanov trade.

Edit: just looked at Dadanov's contract and there is no way the caps even consider it. Not only does it mess with the cap this year it takes away most of the space the Caps will free up in the offseason. With the need to resign guys like Sprong, Vanacek, Samsonov, and possibly Dowd and a limited amount of Cap to work with even if/when they let Kempny and Schultz walk, the Dadanov contract all but guarantees none of the previously mentioned players could realisitically come back.</div></div>

Good player, though. I tried to post something yesterday that could make Dadonov and Smith to WSH work, if Buffalo retained, if that was the way they could get an Eichel deal done. Today, I think Buffalo is less motivated to pay that $7M.
