Why are the Caps giving the Canucks a 1st round pick? Mantha is not a cap dump...He still has value, especially when he will have only one year left on his contract...

Is this a good return for Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Agreed, I really feel like this is a slight overpay. Realistically, Gibson isn't going to be a part of the deal, so it's:
A top prospect center - Lapierre
A highly touted RHD prospect - Chesley
An overpaid Middle 6/Top 9 forward who desperately needs to be moved - Mantha
A mid first round pick in a very deep draft
for...
A fantastic young power forward, likely the best one available on the market.</div></div>
Yeah, I just offered what the Sharks were reportedly interested in. Which is 2 B prospects, and a first round pick. I added Mantha to maybe outbid other teams who are also looking at Meier (and they could easily flip him for more picks next year). I only threw Gibson in because I doubt he signs with us tbh

We are not good
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>westleysnipez</b></div><div>If Eller earns the Capitals a 3rd with no salary retained I'll buy his jersey.</div></div>
Yeah I agree with you...I don't think we can get a third for Eller if we don't retain half his salary. If we don't retain I would honestly expect it to just be a 5th or 6th rounder, or both.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>papishark</b></div><div>Dont think any of them are really good enough.
The only way I could see is Mcmicheal, Lapierre, 2023 first + something else of value
And thats not accounting for Mantha, who probably costs something extra to move</div></div>
I disagree on the Mantha part, hes still very good...I just don't think he fits on a team with Laviolette as coach. He definitely still has value and next year at the deadline, you can definitely move him for more draft picks.
But I definitely think New Jersey can give a better package, especially if they are willing to give up Holtz.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYRxLundqvist</b></div><div>Definitely wrong about Eller, rangers don't need to waste money on overpaid 4th liners</div></div>
He isn't an overpaid 4th liner, he's an overpaid 3rd liner...we can easily retain but that would require a 3rd round pick instead imo. But i guess I was wrong about the NYR fit, my B.
Edit: He is also still a very good Pker. He is also way better than jake leschyshyn...

If for whatever reason the Caps start losing a bunch and are looking like missing the playoffs...we accept. But, we more than likely reject because we are going to need Haths for the playoffs.

Huh? best faceoff guy on the team, arguably 2nd-3rd best Pker on the team, and him and Dowd are the only two on this entire team I would trust to win a defensive zone draw (even with Backstrom back).
If he can figure out how to stop taking penalties again, he instantly becomes a huge part of this teams success moving forward imo...

We don't need LD depth, we already have 6 capable defenseman on the left side. It's the RD depth where we could use another player, so Washington declines.

I am actually one of the ones that doesn't want Eller to go, I think he is still very valuable to the team with his faceoff and penalty killing ability. I honestly would keep him just for that as I don't like the idea of Kuznetsov, Strome, or Backstrom becoming the #2 C on the PK...Also, without Eller I would literally only trust Dowd to win a defensive zone draw...
