Who move where at TDL
Washington already has Orlov, Fehervary, Gustafsson, Van Riemsdyk, Alexeyev, and Irwin who can all play the left side better. No way is MacLellan, who has not wanted to move 1st rounders since 2020, going to suddenly cough up a 1st for a guy who; by both the eye test and analytics, is <em>this bad at defense</em>

Vancouver Canucks signed Andrei Kuzmenko (2 Years / $5,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MadLin27</b></div><div>Good deal.
I disagree with everyone saying he should have been traded.
Keep him for now and he can still be moved if needed down the road.
I think his value will go up with additional experience. I don't see teams lining up to make a big offer for Kuzmenko at this point.</div></div>
While I can see your point, I'd think thought of getting a premium package for a top 6 player because he's only making 975K against the salary cap would make GMs more likely to sell him.

I think you have Mukh going to the wrong team, SJ, at the very least, would need him as part of the deal as 2 firsts and one good prospect is the price for Meier alone, not Meier and Karlsson.

I certainly don't love it, but that seems like a real possibility with Carlson out long term. I'm not sure Schenn is the right fit for a Laviolette team as compared to other cheap RD options, but I doubt they'll let Matt Irwin get full time minutes until the end of the year.

2nd and 3rd domino
The Caps are not interested in Boeser, El-Bashir has already reported that there were no legs to the Boeser->Washington connection.
As for the proposal itself, it seems to be wishful thinking on the part of Boeser's value to Washington. The Caps already cannot take on more salary cap for next year with Strome, Fehervary, Milano, Orlov, and others due extensions so adding an extra over 4 million in cap is not feasible. I also don't see a world where Washington gives up their best defensive prospect in Iorio for a winger that is just a more expensive Mantha.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>All_Knowing</b></div><div>Islanders getting Horvat really doesn't concern me. I still think they will miss the playoffs, despite this move. I am concerned about the growing rumors about Meier to the Devils.
I seriously think as of right now, Devils are not contenders. I know they are doing well in the standings, but I don't see them being built for the playoffs (I feel the same about the Kraken). Now if they get a guy like Meier, that does change slightly...</div></div>
I definitely see where you're coming from on the Devils and Kraken. The Devils don't have much playoff experience on the roster and I don't know if I trust their goaltending to keep playing up to this level, but Meier is certainly a threat if he goes to NJ (Bratt probably is gone though, I'd think). Kraken to me just need some stable goaltending. I love Grubie, but he's cooked, and perhaps someone in the goalie market can help them out. (Varlamov maybe if NYI wants to move salary?)
Right now, I think Washington is built well for playoff time and the amount of depth + playoff experience makes me think they can surprise someone in the first round, they just need to get to the dance first. With BUF having the 3rd toughest schedule from here on out, FLA dealing with inconsistent goaltending, and NYI still seeming to be more of a two gun team on offense, I think WSH will just have to deal with PIT from behind to get into the playoffs. Hoping the All Star break can reset the team and give them a jump to try and get past NYR for 3rd in the division.

Since the All Star game is just around the corner, some questions I've been pondering:
Which team will benefit the most from the All Star Break:
Which team will suffer the most from the All Star Break:
Which team that isn't in a playoff spot now will make the playoffs:
Which team that is in a playoff spot now will miss the playoffs:
For me, I'd go Washington/Vegas, Carolina, Buffalo, Pittsburgh

Couple Interesting Prospects I'd watch for the next few months:
Mitchell Gibson has a .919 sv% and some enticing film so far in his final year at Harvard. He projects as a high end, Lindgren-esque backup to me but his play has been turning into a believer. Hopefully he'll sign and continue to develop.
Bogdon Trineyev has had a decent season in the KHL as a 20 year old. 11 points in 30 games for Dynamo Moscow is nothing to scoff at, could be an interesting player going forward if Washington can lure him to Hershey. Another big player, could be developed similar to Protas in terms of tall forwards.
He's gotten a decent amount of love but I can't emphasize Alexander Suzdalev enough. Could be a steal in the 3rd round.

Oh, gotcha. 3.375 seems reasonable for him, I've projected him anywhere between 3.25 and 3.75 and I expect it to be on the lower end. As for the deal itself, perhaps I am too low on Bloom. With Miroshnichenko, Suzdalev and Persson already in the LW pipeline from the 2022 draft, I think Washington would be lower on Bloom than others and would at least look to get a prospect at a different position, but I could see Washington going for this offer if they believe that Bloom has a higher ceiling than Suzdalev/Persson.

I may get crucified for this but I would not mind upping the price Washington pays for 2 years of Deangelo at 2.5 retained. In a better team setting (like CAR last year), I think he can be the perfect Carlson replacement.

Playoffs Playoffs who would have thought it in October
First of all, good lord that’s a mighty large contract for Jensen. I doubt any team will go anywhere near over 6 mil for a 32 year old, especially when Buffalo will have other important contracts coming up.
It is incredibly unlikely that Washington would move Jensen in the first place since it seems that they will push for a playoff spot and with Carlson out, Jensen is their best RD by a long shot. In the unlikely case Washington will sell him, it’ll almost certainly be for a 1st. With Buffalo’s 2nd being a middle of the road pick and Bloom being a bit of an uninspiring add (decent OHL production but I don’t see his ceiling being high enough for Washington to bite), I think Washington would get better offers and would likely force any prospective team to pay at least a 1st for his services.

Dumo is more expensive and doesn’t fill a need, Washington is far more likely to use Eller in a swap for an RD instead of a pylon LD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>All_Knowing</b></div><div>We really are missing Carlson. You can tell in pretty much every part of the game, especially on the PP. Having Gus at point limits Ovi to his office. With Carlson, the team could swap Ovi and Carlson to a) throw another look at the PK and b) give the team an option of a one-timer at the point or in the office (whether it is Carlson or Ovi).
Without Carlson, Ovi is glued either to his office (where he is taken away by a player) or down near the net, where he only has a chance for a hard-earned rebound goal.
I thought last night the team played well last night.
Defensively - Top to bottom, the guys played fine-ish. Started out rough, specifically Orlov and Jensen. But to me, it looked like Lavy split them up (Orlov with Feh and Jensen with Irwin...I think...). Thought Irwin played his "best" game in recent memory, but I still think the Caps need an upgrade there.
Offensively - I thought the team played pretty solid actually - just couldn't buy one. Loved Sheary, Protas, and Eller's play. They were flying out there and really battling on the boards. We need more out of Kuzy. And although MoJo played fine (and has played fine in recent memory), we could use an upgrade over him.
Goaltending - Again, I thought Kuemper played okay. The 3rd goal HAS TO be stopped - it was a slick shot, but still, gotta be stopped.<strong> I personally would like to see more of Chuck</strong>. Nothing against Kuemper, who I think has played solid, but the team seems to play slightly different with Chuck in net.</div></div>
