Tell Me About Michal Kempny
Totally serviceable LD. Was briefly excellent, after bad injury wasn't great. Surplus to requirements in DC. Caps need right shot defenseman, (likely an) inexpensive veteran goalie, a little youth/speed on the wings (2nd-3rd line RW, 3rd line LW, maybe a 4th line RW but I think likely not.) Can be had for any of the above, or a decent pick.

Caps create 2021 Cap Space while remaining competitive
The Capitals do not need Brodin. Orlov is not a right defenseman. A #1center is worth more than a comparable defenseman.
The Capitals will never retain money on Hagelin.
The Capitals love Nic Dowd at #4 center. (see Tarik El-Bashir in the Athletic.
*If* the Caps move Kuzy (unlikely), they will extract a haul, addressing specific areas of need. (RD, veteran goalie, youth/speed on the wings, unless you need a top 2 C to fill the hole you create by trading Kuzy.)

I am not sure. I think there is a chance that V(2) could actually be better than that. I think there is a chance he could struggle mightily as an NHL rookie. I think there is more certainty in what you are getting from Cam Talbot, Greiss, etc. When creating a backup or 1B goalie for Samsonov, who has not handled a full-time NHL workload yet, there is value in a veteran presence, who could provide both competition and monitorship, experience, locker room presence, etc. And if you have a team that you think/hope is Cup ready, I think there is value in minimizing risk. None of that is meant as a knock on Vanacek, and I'll be delighted if he's a successful member of the Caps for years to come.

Future in NY is bright Big free agent signing in 2021
The idea that Ovi would take a $2 million dollar hit on his current salary to sign a one-year deal where he gets the honor of playing on his off wing is... lovely fantasy. I don't think he's ever leaving DC, except maybe to finish his career in the KHL, and only then if he actually passes Gretzky's record. But if Ovi does sign for another NHL team, it would be for megabucks*powerball in a perfect situation, not a one year cut-rate deal.
On the other hand, if you think the Caps could get Panarin to sign a 6 year, $4 million new contract with the Caps... then still no. ;-)

Beat me to the punch. It's not that this isn't a good or fair offer, or even a little better than that. It's that Wilson is so unique in the NHL, and is so important to the Capitals as a player, locker room presence, fan favorite, tone setter, and leader, that his on-ice production is only part of his value. Is the Nylander plus package tempting? Sure. But I think the Caps could find someone Nylander-esque before they could find someone like Wilson.

Re: Time to see if he has what it takes for the NHL
This is exactly the heart of the argument why I am *not* necessarily comfortable going with Sammy and VV next season. A mid rebuild team has plenty of time to see who has what it takes. A young team with little to lose has time to see who has what it takes. A veteran team that just fired its coach for winning two division titles but no playoff series in two seasons, with a very strong, but aging core, I'm not comfortable seeing who has what it takes. So I want to see the Caps have a goalie along with Sammy who the Caps are confident can give them 30-35 regular season starts and who could possibly step in for a month in an injury situation, though if the guy they acquire is to be a true backup but VV would be called up in a long term injury situation, ok maybe. If the Caps brass is 1000% comfortable that is VV... ok, roll the dice I guess. But I would feel much better off with one of Crawford, Greiss, Talbot, even Brian Elliot or mayyyybe Aaron Dell. (I suspect Khudobin will be far too expensive and will be in Dallas, but sure, if he wants to be in DC, come on.)

Sprong looked good in pre-bubble camp, yes. He could have a place in the Caps bottom six this year.
He is also a guy who was traded even up for Christian Djoos, so I encourage some calm before anointing him the savior of even the bottom six, or certainly the next Connolly.
Yes, he scored 14 goals in 63 games two years ago, (not 47 -- he was donut in 16 games with the Pens before moving to Ana). Last season he didn't even stick in Anaheim, and was on a 20 goal pace for the AHL Gulls when the Caps traded for him.
I'm glad he's a Caps asset and hope he's a valuable member of the team next season, but pencilling him in for 20 goals is like betting the house on rolling an 11. (Maybe a 10, but still.) (Also, can he skate a solid defensive shift? Yet to be seen.)
The Japer's Rink evaluation of Sprong when the Caps acquired him seems right on target. <a href="https://www.japersrink.com/2020/2/28/21153726/what-the-capitals-have-in-daniel-sprong-christian-djoos" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.japersrink.com/2020/2/28/21153726/what-the-capitals-have-in-daniel-sprong-christian-djoos</a>
Again, I am rooting for the guy to be great, and to be a fast, responsible, 20+ goal scoring RW in DC for a decade. I'm just not counting on it yet.

5 Goals Per Game Caps
Dmitry Orlov will not be a RD on the Caps next season. He will skate on his natural left side, or he will be traded to acquire a true RD/veteran goalie/young fast winger.
Galchenyuk could be a nice piece, but not at that number. I think he'd have to take a lower risk contract for the caps to be interested, and I think he'll get more money elsewhere.
Laine is a sexy add, but I'd be shocked if the team the Athletic says have the worst farm system in the NHL are moving two firsts and a decent prospect for anyone not named Gretzky.

Jensen is a fine RD with good underlying numbers who got off to a bad start in DC when asked to skate on his off-side and no regular partner / spot in the lineup. With a stable pair next season he'll be a fine 3rd pair RD who can easily out perform his cap hit. No need to move him at all. (Now, you want Michal Kempny, great. Orlov should be available for a good offer. But Jensen is one of two RD on the Caps or close to ready in the system.)
In the unlikely event that Samsonov is not fit to be the Caps goalie, they'll make an offer to Holtby. Andersen serves the Caps needs exactly zero. It's not that he's a terrible player, he's just not a fit in DC at all. Like the Leafs, caps need a solid 2-way right shot defenseman, plus a cheap veteran goalie, and an maybe an injection of youth and speed on the bottom six (or maybe a top six winger). Andersen just isn't what the Caps are using assets for.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kalopsia</b></div><div>Vanecek can handle the backup role, he's been an All Star in the AHL two years in a row and only costs 700K. Siegenthaler, Boyd, and Sprong are RFAs who'll be re-signed with minimal raises, say 1.2, 0.9, and 0.9 respectively. McMichael and Fehervary are expected to become full time players, and they each cost less than 1M. Kempny's likely on his way out, which saves 2.5M. Taking all of that into account you have 14 forwards, 5 defensemen, and 2 goalies with about 7.5M in cap space to add the last two defensemen. Cap space isn't an issue for the Caps this season.
Of course, even if it was this still wouldn't make sense. Orlov is their #2 defenseman and defense is their biggest area of need, so all of the savings from trading him would have to go right back into finding someone to replace him.</div></div>
Caps fan who respectfully disagrees. I think Orlov is a terrific asset to move, particularly if the Caps resign Dillon. Caps need a very good right shot defenseman, a veteran goalie, some retool on the bottom 6, and to get younger and faster in general. Orlov is a very good B/B+ LD and should be attractive to lots of teams. Now, that said... not sure Middelstadt is who the Caps need. Big flashing "might not be as good as advertised" warning, if the Caps make moves, they need a little higher degree of certainty of what they're getting in return. Also, this really makes Middelstadt look so not good... <a href="https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2020/07/11/drafting-casey-mittelstadt-was-a-bad-idea/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2020/07/11/drafting-casey-mittelstadt-was-a-bad-idea/</a>
TL;DR: Orlov should be traded, Caps need RD first, veteran goalie, young fast forward second.

Younger
I don't know about the specific returns on a few trades, but I like everything about this approach. I don't think Khudobin is leaving Dallas, I do think Kempny is leaving Washington, but keeping Carlson & Jensen and adding a strong two-way RD (Matt Dumba?) makes total sense to me. Love the idea of getting younger and faster. Contracts all seem reasonable. Domi does feel like a big gamble, I'm curious who else could fill the 2C role in a trade.
This is one of the best Caps blueprints I've seen on the site, even if the Deangelo slot is actually Deangelo or one of Dumba, Adam Larsson, Sami Vatanen, or maybe Demelo or Trevor van Riemsdyk.

Assuming Fehervary is ready for a regular NHL shift, I am also a proponent of moving Orlov. Not because he's bad -- because he's good, but at a position (LD) where the Caps have cheaper depth (and hopefully Dillon on a $4 million or less deal) and can use Orlov to address a crying need (right handed D!), or create cap space / bring in return a veteran goalie to back up Samsonov, some youth and speed at wing, shakeup for the 3rd line.
I'm torn on Kuzy. Along with dumping Kempny (sure) and Jensen (no! keep him) for cap space, Kuzy seems to get traded more than any other Cap on this site. And he's a high cap number and an attractive trade target, I think, so I get the argument. And yes, he's terrible on face-offs and not... um... the most reliable defender, let's say, but he can take over a game offensively like no one on the Caps besides #8. I have read all of the "move Kuzy to the wing" arguments, and I'll admit I'm intrigued by that option, but not sure where the 2C comes from in that case. If they move Kuzy, I just hope it's for a terrific return -- younger, cheaper, faster players and/or a terrific RD+ more.
OK, maybe I should just go make a team myself...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kalopsia</b></div><div>Jeez, is Larsson really that bad?</div></div>
Larsson is not close to that bad, and will fetch more on the trade marker for sure. He is a solid RD on a $4.16 million cap hit, who probably shouldn't have been traded 1-1 for Taylor Hall, but who will be sought after if he is on the market, and certainly won't go for castoffs. If this were on the table Caps would make this trade 100 times in a row.
Separately, I am curious why this roster (and so many 20-21 Caps' rosters) have Orlov playing RD. The Caps clearly prefer him on the left -- that's why they need a RD in the first place. I would be very surprised if Orlov is asked to play on his off-hand all season. (I actually think Orlov is a likely piece to get traded, assuming BMac thinks Fehervary is ready for a regular NHL shift, particularly if he gets Dillon to stay.)

I actually am coming around to the idea that Orlov is the asset to trade this offseason, even though I like him a lot. But the Caps only have Carlson and Jensen as natural RD, and with Siegenthaler and Fehervary hopefully getting normal shifts at LD, Orlov's cap hit makes him the LD to move. (Particularly if they resign Dillon to a $4,000,000 or less deal.) Then Kempny is effectively the 7th D, or traded. The D I really want from Min is Matt Dumba, who would be a fantastic 2nd RD behind Carlson. If the Caps line up Dillon-Carlson, Siegs-Dumba, & Fehervary-Jensen next season, that feels like a solid 6 w/o crazy cap commitments. (All of this is predicated on the notion that BMac and coach to be named later deem Fehervary ready for a regular shift. No way he should be 7th D in DC at his age. If he needs a season in Hershey, then a placeholder LD makes sense. Lyubushkin's underlying #'s this year and likely inexpensive cap # are making him a popular CapFriendly trade target. I admit I'm intrigued besides barely seeing him play, & I wonder if there will be the same interest from actual GM's.

I actually think the value in this trade is not crazy. Nylander would look great in red, and I don't know a ton about Holl, but he's a young RD who I assume can be signed to a reasonable contract. And.
Tom Wilson is the Capitals captain-in-waiting. He is a fairly unique talent in the NHL (not the best player, just a pretty unique skill set), and the players, management, and city love him. I think it takes a clear overpay for the Caps to trade him. I'm not sure this is that.

If Orlov is going to stay on the Caps, they should be skating him on the left side. Carlson and Jensen are the only NHL/NHL ready RD the Caps have. I want to see them go for a tough, defensively sound, puck moving RD, and if he can contribute a little offensively, great, but not the need. If the Caps resign Dillon (please, say, 4 x $4 million), then Dillon, Orlov, Siegenthaler, Fehervary, Kempny are at least one too many. And Fehervary needs to skate a regular shift -- in DC or Hershey. He's 20, it's not a year to sit on the bench. I like Orlov and think he's a good second pairing D, but given his salary and possible return, I think maybe the Caps move him for a natural RD.
