Thread: Bye Marner

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brad_Treliving</b></div><div>We somehow got a first for Sandin and he was our 3rd pairing LD</div></div>

Sandin was a year younger than Liljegren is now, had an extra year of term, and was more highly regarded around the league. Liljegren immediately needing a new contract buffers some of his value.

I don't imagine there's a world where the Leafs get a 1st for Liljegren.

He's definitely not. Not quite sure of the thinking dealing Dowd.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LondonNight911</b></div><div>They would save 5.2 the next two years tho</div></div>

With Backstrom and Kuznetsov off the books already, and Oshie soon to follow, Cap is not a large concern for the time being. Would make more sense long term to keep Kuemper around to be the veteran presence to Stevenson, and let it ride if he continues to struggle or trade him for positive value if he manages to bounce back.

Thread: Rebuild over

With Barron losing his exemption status next year and Washington already having a glut of NHL RD with Carlson, Jensen, Van Riemsdyk, and Bear, a 2nd for Barron isn't very enticing. Maybe for a lower price the Caps could consider it but given that Barron has yet to play a full NHL season, it's a bit of a hard sell.

Thread: Devils

Who would Washington be moving up for here though? I can't imagine they move Fehervary unless they are absolutely blown away by the player they'd be about to get, and even then it's a tough sell. Would prefer to hold onto Malenstyn as well but at that price it's tough to say no.

Forum: Armchair-GMYesterday at 5:36 p.m.

Thread: One more try with Ovi

Would rather hold onto Alexeyev and play him next to Kulak in this scenario, I would hate to see Washington sell low on an effective 3LD who's signed for basically nothing, especially if McIlrath ends up as the scratched defenseman.

Seems like a disservice to Cooley's development to feed him 4th line time.

Thread: reworked bottom 6

Think the Caps just hold onto Dowd. No one in the Caps system is really capable of doing what he does, at least not yet, though Malenstyn might be there in a year or so.

Forum: Armchair-GMYesterday at 11:55 p.m.

Thread: Keeping it rolling

No thanks on most of this. Would rather go for a RD if they move Jensen than LD, especially since Sandin, Fehervary, and Alexeyev have all been good defenders this season. Lindholm at 7.9 is offputting, especially when he's producing at a level near Strome who MacLellan signed for far less. I have doubts that Lindholm can be a point per game center with the Capitals. Debrusk at that price point isn't super exciting either, especially with Leonard and Cristall waiting in the wings and the move forcing one of their best PKers in Malenstyn out of the lineup.

Forum: Armchair-GMMon. at 9:50 a.m.

Thread: Please

Can't imagine Lindholm will sign for that much. Some center-desperate team will likely give him 7+.

ahahaha you looked up when I made the account lol you don't have anything better to do?

btw I started supporting the pens in 2014 when I went studying in Canada cuz my roommate was a pens fans. luckily won those cups but that is not the point. in Italy we don't even have ice hockey, we are football fans and we don't chose teams because they win or not. never done that never will.</div></div>

Brother, the date you created your account is plainly shown next to your picture in the thread. I simply had to look over to the left of your reply for about 5 seconds to see it.

Thread: Detroit Gets Their Goalie

As mentioned before, way too low of a price for Walman. Even if you only view him as a 3rd pairing guy, which I wouldn’t, he’s on a reasonably priced contract, provides a decent amount of offense, and is fairly responsible defensively. Hes the type of guy you’d want to keep rather than paying a 4C 5 mil or Chiarot 4+ mil.

Forum: Armchair-GMMon. at 9:04 a.m.

Thread: Offseason

Brannstrom price isn’t bad I’d say but just isn’t a fit in DC now with Alexeyev solidifying himself on the 3rd pairing. Could be an interesting depth buy but would have to depend on where they see TvR/Jensen and Bear next year.

Thread: Post elimination realistic offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>where did I say this was a realistic proposal hahaha what are you talking about.

just said there is no way franchise players of the pens would ever play for a ****ty org as wsh. biggest chokers in the league</div></div>

You call Caps fans dumb for stating that a ridiculous proposal is ridiculous yet scoff at the mere mention of Guentzel signing in DC because of some perceived “sh**ty organization”, the notion of Guentzel signing in Washington being far more reasonable than the original trade. So what makes <a href="/users/brady_t12" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@brady_t12</a> “dumb” here, since it seems there’s nothing we disagree with regarding his original post?

And last I checked; Orpik, Niskanen, Schultz, Sheary, and Hagelin all left Pittsburgh to come to DC within the past 10 years. What makes Guentzel any different? Money talks, its influenced plenty of stars to stay and plenty more to leave.

But seeing as you created your account in June 2018, it’s safe to say the Caps winning a cup did numbers on your mental health, so maybe I’ll lighten up on ya. Seeing Wilson life the cup must’ve been traumatizing.

Thread: Leafs 2024-25

Caps pass here. Robertson would be a luxury add and Fehervary is far more important to the team to be traded for a winger who'd have a hard time breaking into the Caps lineup and who's never played a full 82.

Thread: How the pens should look

If Aube-Kubel walks I don't mind Acciari as a replacement. Will likely just depend on what the Caps do with the space they currently have, as they could choose to go with a Hershey player as a replacement instead.

Thread: Sens Offseason

Caps will want more for TvR. He's currently more valuable to Washington than a couple 4th round picks.

Thread: Chuky

Depending on the other moves the Caps make in the offseason, I wouldn't particularly mind this. Would have to rely on the Caps moving one of McMichael, Lapierre, or Bordeleau to the wing though.

Thread: Playoff Lines Game 1

Honestly can't see Leonard signing at this point, feels like there's too much running against it. Neither Smith nor Perreault have left BC yet, he could go back for another year to finish the job he started this year, but most importantly I just kinda don't see a spot for him. They won't bump Patches or Oshie out of the lineup, NAK and Malenstyn have been so effective with Dowd that they're likely safe, and I can't see someone like Milano getting the boot in favor of Leonard. Think we're going to have to wait another year to see Leonard (and I will be acquiring a Leonard 50th anniversary jersey no matter what my wallet has to say about the matter)

One last run for the boys. Gotta give big shoutouts to the Philly coaching staff for not letting torts know about the situation in Detroit. Was insane to watch both games unfold.

I would be shocked if Arizona moved on from Hayton for only Kulak.
