Thread: Realistic Fun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Minnesota doesn't have the cap space to fit Kuznetsovs $7.8 mil caphit in.
They'll figure it out.... if low retention is needed. maybe, but I dont think the caps do that. Minnesota needs centers.

And why would Mark Scheifele waive for a team that's trending down in Washington? he grew up a Red Wings fan Yzerman was his idol growing up. I can see Scheifele waiving for a young up and coming Red Wings team. Then a Capitals team that's trending down and heading for a major rebuild once Ovechkin retires.</div></div>

I see his NTC is only 10 teams, doubt the caps would be on it as usually it is the bottom rung of nhl teams with zero playoff hopes... so he may not have a choice. caps take a chance that he has a good year and wants to re-sign. at this point its year by year trying to build a better roster, otherwise they might as well hang onto picks and maintain status quo of either getting a wild card or missing out...this is the type of bold move Brian McClellan makes

Thread: Get the right Karlsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>I'm confused. The title clearly says, "get the right Karlsson," and then there's no mention of William.

Plus for some reason you've let John Carlson walk, which is totally unrelated, because he actually plays defense. Erik Karlsson might get more ppg than JC, but he took a little over 5% more shifts starting in the offensive zone this year and wound up worse by -25. So the other team gets a lot more ppg off EK, too.

I wouldn't trade Vrana for him, straight up.</div></div>

I'm not big on plus/minus for comparing players on different teams...Ottawa was a bad team with average (maybe even below average tending, I dont care to look it up)...Washington was not...you let Carlson walk to free up cap space to make a big splash...he'll be good for the next 3-4 years, but the last 3-4 years of a long term contract for him are going to be brutal...already slow skater, he'll just get slower
