Thread: Guilty about trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>A "3rd pairing guy" on a team that cycles 3 lines quite frequently, also is on the 2nd power play line. I'll take a player that played well up until recently, when he was <strong>Injured</strong> over an at best fringe 3rd/4th liner and a contract that would just put the Caps in a similar situation with Kempny's but with more years on it.</div></div>

Justin Schultz hasn't put up many points this season, so it doesn't look like he is contributing much to the Caps second unit power play. I think the Caps would be comfortable just stapling Poolman to the 3rd pair because he actually thrives in a 3rd pairing role, but struggles noticeably given too much responsibility. Not to mention of course Nick Jensen is having a suprisingly good year this year, so that helps

I break down the Ottawa trade something like this: Myers + Poolman for Zaitsev + Holden. Myers contract isn't very good, but he's still a decent no. 4/5 defenseman, and Poolman is actually a decent 6/7 defender even though his contract is iffy, but it's not back breaking. Myers and Poolman's contracts aren't nearly as bad as everyone makes them out to be, they're both useful players, just not top of the lineup guys. If you'd bother to watch the players actually play rather than just looking at the teams record, you'd see. Holden is just a throw in to make the cap work. Last but not least, there is the 4th for Brannstrom

The Seattle trade is for a 1st, 2nd, two 4ths, and some quality depth pieces, they are anything but spare parts

With where the Islanders are at, I don't see how any of their bottom six players still remain untouchable, and Cizikas's contract has an absurd amount of term on it
