Thread: Who Wants Kuznetsov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I've been wondering the same thing honestly.</div></div>

I thought wrong earlier today on thinking Kuznetsov would be an option for Detroit lol. Was helpful insight on what Yzerman might be looking for but still don't fully see why it wouldn't be considered at least considering their center depth is not great.

See my post in the forum right after yours

Would Carolina actually be interested in Kuznetsov and why?

Thread: Jumping Sumertime

Washington's not giving up one of their few top prospects for a winger who's turning 34 this year. Caps need to get younger and Hoffman barely has more goals than Mantha

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Detroit passes, We want no part of Kuznetsov.

And that offer for Alex DeBrincat is easily beaten by other teams that would have interest in him. Like hometown Detroit.</div></div>

I will have to go the Jeannot route and throw the kitchen sink for him, but considering Capitals don’t have the best prospects/picks, we’d theoretically lose every time. Chychrun trade was underwhelming return for Arizona based on what they asked which was the 3 firsts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoreHitzSeider</b></div><div>Cheap? Mantha isn't a cheap contract. He's a lazy Floater with no compete level.</div></div>

Like the assets to get him would be cheap because we want to get rid of him. 5.7 isn’t cheap but for a year with possibility of retention at probably a 3rd at the highest? Not terrible

Definitely fair! My idea for Detroit was because after Larkin, there isn’t much center depth. But thank for the constructive feedback, appreciate it

Just for clarification purposes, may I ask why? Would be a cheap target who maybe could find a finishing touch in Carolina which is what y’all need since Patches hasn’t been able to play

Thread: Sweep n Swap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Yeah no ****. I’m not suggesting they take him for free but Mantha is a player with upside that can return a decent draft pick at the deadline. I’m not paying a to 50 pick in a deep draft to dump him. They can have the Boston 2025 2nd. I bet AZ would take him for less than the suggested price here easily.</div></div>

After this season his value is at an all time low and I think everyone is now aware of just how MIA he can be in the lineup. A 2025 second works just fine to get rid of him, but I doubt we’d be getting anything of value for him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Yeah capitals aren’t wasting the #40oa pick to dump Mantha. Other teams will do this for way cheaper.</div></div>

I disagree. Teams want compensation to take cap dumps. Especially if it's almost 6mil

Thread: 2023 NHL Draft according to Rev

On one hand, we need the defensive prospects. But overall, we need prospects, period. Based on how poor our offense was this year though, I think the Capitals take a forward who has a shot at making the lineup to start the season

Thread: Hot 3 way

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>Caps probably do that if it's a 2024 first. I know management has been saying that they want to contend for another Cup with Ovi, but they have to be smart enough to know that's probably not happening. Trading a top 10 pick doesn't seem in the cards for them unless there's somehow a 1C that's on the trade market</div></div>

Was gonna say this. I know there's been rumors that we can use some of the picks and a top prospect (McMichael/Lapierre) to get a more established top 6 player for these last few years with Ovechkin. However, I personally think the 2023 first rounder is off limits. Has a strong chance of being a top 10 pick and a chance (even if only 5%) at Bedard

Noticed about the retention with you guys. Maybe adds some veteran depth down the middle to have if Krebs or Jost need to be rotated out for a playoff push

Thread: Rumors and Trades from Comparables

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>Oilers say hell no… Eller isn’t worth a 3rd… and Boeser is a much better player than Mantha, even while accounting for their contracts.</div></div>

Which is why I said “what do they add” on both sides. Boeser is on his way out and it’s like 90% certain Mantha is too.

I don’t see why Oilers fully say no if they can’t get Karlsson. Much cheaper and easier trade option for a guy having a career year and is on PP1 rn

And Johan Larsson got a 3rd from Washington last year which is pretty similar. Teams value depth centers. So maybe not a 3rd usually but retention helps, he’s not worth less than 4th period

Thread: Rumors and Trades from Comparables

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>lol Zaitsev contract was just taken for a 2nd plus 4th and he has another year remaining you think Oilers are giving up a 2nd for 1/3 a year of JP gone?</div></div>

Zaitsev is turbo bad and you would pay more to get rid of a longer contract. JP’s contract is worth more against the cap which allows them another $2million to spend even after getting Gus. I’m thinking along the lines of what the Capitals paid to get rid of Paník in the Vrana/Mantha trade

Thread: Rumors and Trades from Comparables

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>There IS no comparable for Los Angeles under GM Rob Blake buying an expensive rental, and no rumors that we would be interested in Dimitry Orlov.</div></div>

The comparable was the Savard trade and 4th period suggested if Chychrun is being held up, Kings could look into Orlov. Also it’s not a rental if you plan to re-sign the player.
