Thread: Move EK

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Caps pass. Strome is a good middle 6 center, not a top 6 center and if you're giving up an elite skill player like Kuz you better get at op 6 center in return.</div></div>

They have McMichael who projects to be a Top 6 center as well as Protas who could be the eventual Eller replacement. Trading for another center isn't a necessity. I'd like to see Kuznetsov moved for a LHD and a pick.

He also led the teams forwards in SH/TOI on the 5th best PK in the league that already lost Dillon and Chara on the back end.

Thread: Why not go crazy

If this were to come to fruition i would only hope that Kuznetsov gets moved to LW. Landeskog actually took over 500 faceoffs last year and won 56.6% of his draws. I'd rather see Kuznetsov gone and Eller stay but Landeskog would be a hell of an addition to the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Fehervary is ready and was ready... Capitals wasted a year of his career by signing Chara they also trade JS bc of Chara. Capitals more than likely use one of the 2nd round picks to dump Hags and Kemp to AZ and sign a Vet to a 1 year deal. after this year AA is ready and our young guys should be on the NHL roster</div></div>

I wouldn't mind hanging onto Hagelin for a year. As mentioned before, the penalty kill was excellent and Hagelin led the forwards in SH/TOI. Add to the that the 4th line was probably the most consistent line all year and they're already losing or have lost Dillon and Chara so who steps up to join Eller and Dowd as PK forwards?

Thread: (WPG/WSH) - 2x 2nd for Dillon

The only reason I don't like it from a Capitals perspective is that they had a very good penalty kill last year and both left shot defenders that played 100 PK minutes are gone (Chara and Dillon). Kempny and Orlov are capable but Orlov was healthy and played very sheltered minutes on the PK. Can Fehervary be trusted to fill a key role on the PK?

Tarasenko is a 5 time 30 goal scorer and averaged 36 over those 5 years. He's been severely limited the last 2 years but when healthy hes way better than Kuznetsov. Mantha scored 4 goals in 4 games after the trade but that was it. No more goals including the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BIGRUSS62</b></div><div>Don't trade Kuzy. https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2494065</div></div>

So the solution is to not bring in anyone? The Top-9 remains the same and Hagelin gets moved even though the 4th line was the most consistent line they had all season and he was #1 in SH TOI/GP among forwards on the 5th ranked PK in the league? That makes zero sense.

Thread: Kuzy-B-Gone

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BIGRUSS62</b></div><div>Spot on. Even if you think McMichael is ready to be a top 6 center then move Kuzy to wing and the team will be even better.</div></div>

They still need to clear Cap space in order to sign Ovechkin and Samsonov. I only picked Stastny because he's a versatile veteran who is strong on faceoffs, can center any line and is someone who may take a cheap 1 year deal to have a chance at a championship. Something has to give to work McMichael into the lineup. Backstrom isn't going anywhere, they gave up a ton for Mantha, Oshie and Wilson are heart and soul players, Sheary was just re-signed for 2 years and Sprong is young and cheap. What's the solution?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Caps aren't going anywhere with Stastny as their 2C. <strong>If they move Kuz they need a much better option than Stasnty</strong>.

And Caps get destroyed in that EDM trade. Sammy will be a top 5 goalie. He's young, cheap, and incredibly talented. Giving him away for a late 2nd is terrible.</div></div>

McMichael will be ready by mid-season if not right out of camp. Eller is one of the best 3C in the league and can play 2C in a pinch.

Thread: Kuzy-B-Gone

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>"Late 1st and 3rd in a crap-shoot draft." then why trade a great center for such a terrible return...? if the best we can do is Stastny at 2c whileonly getting a fraction of the value for Kuzy why do anything at all? Devil will paya late pick forSchultz no need to pay to dump. Dillon isnt a good top pairing option and the biggest issue we have is we are slow. You replace one of our fast players with Stastny.. and sign Chara again... is Driedger really an upgrade?</div></div>

I am not of the opinion that Kuznetsov is a great center. He's very talented but not engaged as often as he should be. McMichael will need a spot in the line-up by mid-season and that won't happen with Backstrom, Kuznetsov and Eller all under contract for multiple years. Stastny is just a fill-in and with a reasonable cap-hit he could be moved as well as utilizing the 3+ million remaining at the deadline. Chara played very well on the 3rd pair and while I don't see Driedger as an up-grade over Samsonov I like Vanecek who was the starter going into the playoffs.

Thread: Crazy Off Season

None of this garbage makes the team better. Marner makes way more than he's worth and acquiring another LHD just hinders the prospects (Fehervary/Alexeyev) from gaining NHL experience. I'd rather just move Kuznetsov for a pick and roll the dice on plugging McMichael immediately into the top 6/9 depending on the opponent and possibly trade for a center if he's not ready. Eller has done well as #2 when Kuzy has been out in the past but McMichael has the offensive upside you look for.

Vanecek has been terrible his last 3 starts since shutting out the Islanders and by the time the playoffs start it will have been 3 weeks since Samsonov won a game. Anderson turns 40 in like 10 days so that would be a hell of a story.

Thread: Cap management

I don't like any of those trades for Washington. You're giving up way too many assets in order to protect a back-up goaltender and Rakell is a downgrade on Sprong when you consider salary implications. Laviolette is really high on his 4th line as it is currently constructed so i doubt Hagelin gets moved and Sheary and Eller have good chemistry and they already re-signed Sheary for 2 more years so doubtful that he would play 4th line even if Hagelin were moved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Kuz improved his defensive play considerably. He's actually positive in xGA. Faceoffs are overrated. I have no problem moving Kuz but not for Monahan who's worse in everything except goal scoring.</div></div>

His xGA would be higher if he was good at faceoffs wouldn't it? That would lead to more offensive possessions. Kuznetsov has not had more takeaways than giveaways in 5 years while Monahan is +79 TKA/GVA in his career, Kuz is -69.
