Thread: Post elimination realistic offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>no no no no I did not say caps fans are dumb for stating anything. I said that caps fans are dumb period . they are caps fans that is their problem.

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.

<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: Just makes sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FireShanahanTrelivingKeefe</b></div><div>To only spend a 2nd and 4th for Liljegren is a very good sweetener to eat the Kampf contract , I am quite sure some team that is not on Kampf NTC list would.</div></div>

it's not about that, it's about the fact that we have 4 right handed defenseman making 2+ million dollars next year, with another one in Hershey ready to go. And then as long as Dowd is in town, there's nowhere to put Kampf. He's not cracking our top 9, and Malenstyn, Dowd, Sgarbossa, and NAK have a pretty firm hold on the fourth line as long as all of them get brought back this summer. And even if they don't all get brought back, I could rattle off 15 upcoming free agents that will be cheaper that I'd rather have than Kampf.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>I think it's just so hard to ballpark Laine's trade value right now. He's missed a large majority of this season and has been so up and down his whole career, but I swear he has the potential to pot 50 in a year in the right scenario. Maybe he meshes with McMichael or Lapierre and just lights it up. I can't see this offer being beaten out by anyone else. I think the 2024 1st and a low level prospect should be more than enough given his injury history and where Columbus is right now in their rebuild.</div></div>

Laine was always an awkward fit with CBJ - they only traded for him because Jarmo caved into <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USs9AXkGpMs" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Dubois' shenanigans</a> and made a panicked trade. Fluky injuries and shortened seasons have really hurt him, and his timeline doesn't line up with CBJ, particularly considering he doesn't have the term JG does.

He's still been roughly a .80 PPG guy with CBJ, which is saying something considering the mess CBJ have been since they got him, and the expectations they put on him to be That Guy, which he isn't (and that's OK!). Put him in the right system, and I totally agree he can be a legit first-line weapon again.

And yeah, I'm still in shock over how universally liked this trade is. That just...doesn't happen on CapFriendly. Or even the internet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>I’m honestly…not against that Laine trade?

I see it as Elvis-for-Kemper in a change-of-scenery swap, and the rest of the package for Laine. So, a mid-1st, a late 2nd, and a few lottery ticket prospects?

Cool by me.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>I'd want to take out Suzdalev but would otherwise I'm not against the columbus trade. Not sure if Toronto has interest in TVR but if they do this could be good for both sides.</div></div>

I'm not against the Laine trade even with Suzdalev taken out. Maybe throw in a late-round pick instead just to pick up another lottery ticket?

Laine + Elvis for Kuemper + 2024 1st + 2025 COL 2nd + 2025 WSH 5th + Magnusson?

Much less and Columbus just keeps him. But a few good draft picks and a few lottery tickets is probably enough to entice us to move an expensive player for whom we may have replacements already in the system.
