Thread: Coping

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>WSH is a crap position right now, they need to support Ovi but they also need to rebuild because they are finished and has little in high end prospects, do they sacrifice the McMichael, Connor to try and get another cup and help Ovi beat Gretzky record or blow it up and look to trade Ovi at next years deadline.</div></div>

Agreed - in a very odd position. Ovi isn't going anywhere (from a Business perspective, Ted wouldn't ever let that happen no matter what; nor should he for that matter). I like McMichael as a middle six guy but don't see a high-end ceiling (and that's OK). My hope is that with the amount of cap flexibility this summer (Backy LTIR, potentially Osh as well) that GMBM can get creative. He's racked up a bunch of 2nds and 3rds over next two drafts so let's see what he can do with the wiggle room + hopefully another step for the young guys like Miro, McM, Lappy, Pro, etc. Think Leonard is really our only untouchable prospect (maybe Miro too?) but as you said, we lack an abundance of top tier players in the pipeline. Should be an interesting summer!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>athrin</b></div><div>that dont get chych, OTT declines

Chych has repeatedly said, on several occations during the seasons, HE WANTS TO STAY IN OTT, the reason there is rumours of OTT trading him is because they have 5 LD and to balance out the LD/RD situations.</div></div>

Ah didn't see that. Fell victim to the media hits about Chych being available. All good! One can dream lol

Thread: Making Offseason Changes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Rangers pass on a 4C they don't need.</div></div>

I'd argue an elite defensive shutdown 4C is exactly what the Rangers need, especially in this win-now mode where your top 2 C's are locked in. Lavi loved him in WSH and at 1.3M/expiring deal he's a perfect fit. Sure the price may not be a 1st (Seravalli hinted that teams were dangling a first for him) but a 2nd+ for this is more than reasonable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoofyFoFoofy</b></div><div>You really think you can get a 1st for a 4th liner and a bottom pair Dman? Rangers easily decline.</div></div>

He ranks in the 99th percentile despite being almost strictly deployed in the defensive zone and against teams' top lines. DO I think a first is an overpay? Yes but im almost certain a team that needs this kind of player will pay it. Rangers came to mind first. Rags are the least successful original 6 team....you are not above Nic Dowd lol

Thread: Kuzy to VGK

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Both the Knights and Flames are already tight to the cap for '23-24 - giving them more cap than they're sending out in a trade is nearly impossible at this point.

As far as the Yotes trade, it's quantity over quality - Chesley is a 2nd round NCAA choice so there's no guarantee he ever plays a minute in Arizona. There would need to be more than a single 1st round value asset coming back if the Coyotes were going to move a young, reasonably priced point per game winger.</div></div>

Thanks for being nice at least

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Vegas doesn't even have the cap space to fit in Kuznetsov's $5,800,000 cap hit. They're already up against the cap. Washington would have take back similar salary to make it work.

And the Elias Lindholm and Clayton Keller trades, Aren't remotely close to what either player would get in a trade they're bad.</div></div>

Cap fans keep posting this same asinine trade or something close to it for the last two plus weeks. And they keep getting told the same damn thing everytime.

Minnesota doesn’t do this. They have ZERO interest in a retained Kuzy, which they STILL can't afford even after the retention, and they're not moving the assets it would require either.</div></div>

Totally hear ya - my thinking was a 40pt guy who is known by management, can play anywhere in the lineup and can still get close to 20 goals this year may be worth it considering his extremely manageable cap hit (important for Minny obviously) and the fact that Minny has been acquiring draft capital through third party brokering.

Three straight below average seasons, outplayed by Stolarz the last two and Miller the year before that, and he's got 5 more years at 6.4M.

Why would a team pay through the nose for him instead of signing Kuemper, Husso, or Campbell?</div></div>

Doubt we go for Husso since I can't remember the last Finn who played for WSH lol. I imagine Kuemper remaining in COL. Campbell is someone I'd be interested in as well just worried that we would have to pony up $ and term in a bidding war.
