Thread: if january goes well
The Boston 2024 1st round pick will be heading to Ottawa in the Alex DeBrincat trade, On what planet does John Gibson and Adam Henrique get anywhere close to this kind of value? John Gibson has been pretty much garbage for the past 5 years or so. Copp and Petry don't waive for Anaheim either. Detroit passes on trade #1

Zero chance of Calgary accepting that offer for Noah Hanifin Johansson+Maatta+2nd+3rd round pick isn't getting it done.

Decline the Rust trade, Berggren+Rasmussen for a 31 year old making 4.5 x $5,125,000 isn't going to happen. There's a greater chance of Berggren getting moved in a package deal for either Gibson or Hanifin then for an aging player like Bryan Rust.

Trade #1 Detroit declines.

Trade #2 Calgary declines.

Trade #3 Detroit declines.

Trade #4 Who cares Reimer has little to no value anyways.

Thread: laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaysinhorror</b></div><div>I can't see either team doing this. Kuzy has less money owed and a shorter contract, so what's the incentive for Washington to take on Laine, outside of he's a younger player?</div></div>

Same reason I think CBJ would at least be somewhat interested -- just change things up. Caps have given Kuzy an incredibly long leash to get back to his best but he honestly looks like the teams 4th or 5th best center right now. You hope that getting Laine out of CBJ to somewhere where he can just be a secondary guy gets him back to what he was his first couple of years in the league. For CBJ, maybe getting Kuzy finally out of DC (where he supposedly has not been happy for the past ~3 years) will bring him back closer to what he was from 2018-2020.

Caps can also afford to be a little more generous with the money. Short term, Backstrom retiring gives them a ton of room to work with. Long term, they realistically have just this year and next before they really blow things up.
