Thread: zegras

Obviously with any trade up/down scenario you need to wait to see the actual board, but even with that and considering the fact that this draft is supposed to really suck after ~20oa that still seems like a lot to move up to the Caps pick

AA has been not bad to me but he I don't think he looks like anything more than a 6/7. Don't really care if its on the right or left side, but we need to bring in a real top 4 guy this summer IMO

Thread: Post Wilson Suspension Playoff Push Lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>No chance, Wilson is a must in the lineup. Sgarbossa definitely gets scratched.

Wilson put the team in a terrible situation getting suspended for something so stupid. He wasn't playing particularly great before, and no one in the lineup (especially if Milano is good instead of Sgarbossa) has been playing bad enough to necessitate a change. Got to earn some trust back

Thread: Demidov

As always with prospect swaps teams need a <em>very</em> good reason to do so because it's basically admitting that you got your pick wrong. Caps have zero reason to -- Leonard has been even better than expected and the only reason he doesn't go higher in a redraft is because of how insane that whole class is.

They should spend 7.75M at D but should probably do it on one guy who is good instead of two who are bad

Thread: One last run

Much more open to Laine now that Kuzy is gone. Idk why you get rid of Milano or buy out Kuemper unless you absolutely have to and in this scenario you don't. I'd bring NAK back before trusting Sutter -- don't think he'd break the bank on another 1yr deal. I like Pesce as an add, would also want one more depth guy on the left side. Bear you just have to hope finds his game with a full offseason

Thread: Stayin to Compete

Malenstyn is not getting that much money. Duchene contract isn't bad but I would be so wary for both the team and for him being outside of Dallas where he only really has to be their like 8th best forward. Di Guessepi is fine but can get guys like him internally or through UFAs. Would be surprised if Leonard doesn't sign.

More generally though, it would be a <strong>massive</strong> disappointment if the Caps leave 5.5m in space and don't upgrade the defense at all. They have a ton of room and assets to make some real swings this summer, and while once again I like Duchene and that contract running back literally the exact same team as this year with Pacioretty swapped out for Duchene isn't good enough

Thread: How much to move up 20 spots

From my perception of this draft it seems like there's a pretty big drop off around pick 16. I think that would be enough to move up from 27 to 16 (although as always with moving up/down really depends a lot on individual teams' lists and how the board falls). There is zero chance any team is dropping out of the top 12 this year with how bad the draft gets after around that point I would think, especially in the top 8. Last year you at least had teams like WSH, STL that in theory would do it if the right roster player became available, this year I don't see any team looking for a move like that and no player on MTLs roster that would be that enticing.

Thread: Offseason Series - Ducks

I've made my thoughts known on Chychrun quite a bit so I won't repeat them here, but I will say there is zero chance the Caps head into the season with 9m in cap (even if it is actually 7m accounting for pacioretty's bonuses)

all of these are at least one asset too high. If OTT moves on from Chychrun, they are not getting back the assets they gave up for him

Wilson's was bad, but Trouba's literally a two handed baseball swing</div></div>

Just means they have the option to go >5 games, doesn't mean it will definitely happen.

Wilson has been one of the biggest disappointments to me this year, consistently taking horrible penalties, not scoring enough, and his underlyings aren't great

Thread: 2024-25

I like Johnson but an OS and therefore unprotected pick is super risky. Don't hate Montour but don't love it either as I'm not convinced how well his game will translate outside FLA. Absolutely zero reason to literally give away the best 4c in the league just to sign two worse fourth liners to more money. Borgstrom didn't make the team two years ago and is a 26yo playing in Finland, not NHL quality. If you have the cap space might as well keep Bear and hope he's just getting back up to speed from his injury

Thread: Picks the Caps have traded away

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoringBrianMacLellan</b></div><div>haha you can throw Jeff Schultz and Mike Weber on that list for me as well</div></div>

Schultz (much like Alzner) at least had a 3 year run where he legitimately was a solid top 4 guy
That 08-12 run was completely killed by McPhee's refusal to make a big upgrade at D. Makes what he's done in Vegas all the more infuriating

Thread: Picks the Caps have traded away

Some of my biggest changes:
Cowan was WIDELY seen as a huge reach at the time, literally no one predicted the breakout he has had this year, knocking that deal up a bit in my eyes (even if Sandin hasn't been quite as good as expected as well)
Shattenkirk was the right move to make at the time and was the best Caps D that playoff run. Would also add that Copley and Sanford were considered pretty good pieces at the time and while both have had solid NHL careers, they never really panned out.
The Winnik move wasn't really for Winnik but more to get off of Laich's deal and Carrick, not the 2nd, was a bigger piece at the time -- they made the right call on that one

Your Glencross analysis is spot on though. On the Mount Rushmore of my all time least favorite Caps right next to Tim Gleason, Dustin Penner, and TFB

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jazzykiwi</b></div><div>Being bottom 5 in offense begs to differ</div></div>

and a large part of that IMO is they have 4 complete black holes with the puck on the blue line. Carlson at 39 points, Sandin at 20, Fehervary at 12 (!!!!) is not good enough.

I like that WSH trade a lot for both sides. OTT really should just throw $5m at the best goalie coach available though, feel like its getting to the point where it can't be that every guy they bring in suddenly becomes the worst in the league

Thread: if norris is out for the year

I think "value" wise it's pretty even (although I think Chychrun is one of those players like Zegras who has a crazy range of potential "values" around the league) but I don't love Chychrun as a fit in DC anymore and would be very hesitant to move Lindgren

Thread: Summer fun

Don't hate it but Batherson wouldn't be who I would target with those assets. Montour also would be a big risk IMO
