Thread: I Can Dream 2024-2025

I like the idea of locking up Sandin for 8 years. You're right that Aho isn't going to hit the market in all likelihood, but I think someone like Scheifele is a good bet to be available and would be a good player to add if the Caps still want to be aggressive

If there's a Lafreniere deal to be made, go full steam ahead and do it. He's the exact type of player to add. Young with a very high ceiling that can be acquired at a discount (relative to the ceiling).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>perrystreett</b></div><div>This team would not be competitive but it would honestly be fun to watch and we would get to have full focus on Ovi's chase.

I do want Ovi to win another cup but we need so much to go right to make a run. I don't think this years team can do it. Maybe next years if they have a massive retool.

Sadly it wont happen</div></div>

Agreed. The best scenario the team can hope for is one of those fluke runs to the Final because they got hot at the right time, a la 2017 Nashville/2021 Montreal. It would be awesome as a fan to experience that again, but ultimately this team is not going to be a champion

Thread: Rebuild Now Part 2

I one thousand percent agree that this is the direction they need to go. Caps are going to set themselves up for mediocrity while trying to fulfill the promise to Ovi of being competitive while he's still around. Make sure there's enough firepower for his line to play well and to generate enough looks on the power play, and gut the rest of the roster

Thread: How to best get rid of Goodrow

I love K'Andre, but there's no universe that he's worth a top prospect, a really good top six forward with term, AND taking on a cap dump. The second round pick doesn't move the needle

Thread: Add Nylander

Unfortunately I don't think there's a scenario for the Caps to get Nylander. The only possible way IMO would be to use Wilson, which is a) something that Caps are adamant they don't want to do, and b) might not even be ideal for the Leafs right now after the Bertuzzi and Domi signings. Nylander's play style is probably valued quite heavily in their top six after those moves and would be after a similar play-driving, puck dominant winger.

Thread: New York Islanders signed Scott Mayfield (7 Years / $3,500,000 AAV)

There's no way Lou plans on being around long enough to see these deals to the end. I wonder if he's doing whatever he has to to keep cap hits down so he can do something big to try and win

Interesting. Do you have the link to the tweet? I tried searching his account and couldn't find it. I only saw a Debrincat to Detroit from a fake account.

Thread: 2 Backys

This is the exact move the Caps should not be making. It’s time to develop the kids and make good 1st round picks. Only way a package like this should be moved if it’s for a young stud

Thread: If I was GMBM

I really like the way this looks. Maybe Seattle isn't the team that would do that move for Kuzy, but I can see Colorado potentially offering a similar package. The Mantha for Bailey trade is a really interesting idea as well. Not sure how I feel about it but I like the creativity

No way the Yotes are in a position to a) take on $50M total for Travis Sanheim, and b) give up the 12th overall pick to do it

If that trade could be made one for one, the Caps should be all over that one. I saw you mention this isn't about value, but I still imagine the Caps add a piece to this

Thread: New second line and 1LD

I imagine Arizona declines that. They need to keep guys that they've made developmental progress with at this point, and Hayton should be a top six C for them down the road. McMichael has a ways to go before he (potentially) gets there.

I love the Graves pickup. This team badly needs a real physical presence defensively, and Graves would be a great fit next to Carlson or Jensen.

I love the fit of Pesce with this team long term. As long as his skating doesn't drop off too much as he gets older, you'd think he'd be a great partner for Edvinsson to develop next to

If there was any way for the Caps to get Nylander without giving up Wilson or the 8th pick, I'd be pounding the table for it. Unfortunately that's not a direction that makes a lot of sense for the Leafs. I love the idea of picking up Schmaltz though

I’m going to pretend like Detroit gives up a lot more to get Debrincat (since you have the assets to do so) and say that overall I like the way the forwards look, but I’d be worried about the lack of puck moving availability on defense after the top pair
