Thread: Backstrom and Wilson return

Would tweak the lines a bit - 8-17-73 has been fantastic, one of the best lines in the league, so I think we leave them together. Backstrom probably not ready for first line minutes right away anyway, so put him with Oshie and Mantha and make a responsible and defensively capable 2nd/3rd line and leave Kuzy with Milano and Wilson, which I think would work pretty well. Love the 4th line as is. Also think Gustafsson and Carlson have been great recently after some early rough patches, and they don't need to get the tough defensive usage when you have 9-3 and 42-57 as really good shutdown pairs.

Love it. Obviously a lot of overlap. I kinda decided I wanted the challenge of getting both McDavid and Matthews to work.

Oh for sure, totally agree with you there. But as we've seen with NHL GMs, just because they shouldn't do something, doesn't mean they won't.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Holland has already stated that he isn't trading Puljujarvi for less than he's worth and he's not interested in futures.</div></div>

Some money has to go, whether he likes the return or not (esp with Connor Brown reportedly coming in via trade). And it doesn't make sense to take a player back if the whole point is to shed salary. So I'd bet he ends up getting traded for futures.

Thread: Second Tier FAs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qc14</b></div><div>You cannot bank cap space while you are using LTIR, so they would need to have the full 9.2m available</div></div>

Right, my mistake. So either Backstrom sits out until the playoffs or they go a little cheaper on contracts and maybe mess around with not carrying scratches or something.

Yeah, you're right. I'll change it.

Thread: 22-23

Made a couple changes based on the feedback - retention on varlamov and flipping Eller for a pick instead of spending one.

Thread: 22-23

I think Samsonov takes under his QO for term (maybe 3 years/1.5 mil isn't enough, but I don't think it's impossible to get him under 2). Eller you probably have a point, just didn't feel like searching out a specific trade. Kulak again you're probably right, more just looking for a LD for that bottom pair. Not sure Alexeyev's strengths translate so well to a bottom pair role, but I support giving him a chance and bringing in a cheap free agent to compete for the spot. And I'm clearly a little more bullish on Varlamov as a clear upgrade over Samsonov/Vanecek, though agree salary retention could/should be a piece of the deal (though that may mean us adding a pick).

Thread: Party Time

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dontwhine2me</b></div><div>Hahahaha....
Hes got EXPRESS SHIPPING STAMPED ON HIS AZZ AND FOREHEAD.
Caps are not interested AT ALL in keeping him around their few young players.... hahaha
It's ok to just admit you didnt know something.
Like, the Caps dont want Kutzy and most if not all teams view him as an overall loss at a 7.8 cap hit in a flat cap.
Get a clue.
Grow up.
Or just research a little bit, you will find the same.
There is no market for a 29 yr old, already peaked 2 yrs ago, has 7.8 cap hit and let's just say has off ice issues. (like his current team wants him and his **** GONE!)
You act like I'm making this up....</div></div>

Thread: Minnesota Russians

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>For the 1000th time, the Wild are removing players like Kuznetzov from their organization, not adding them. (Them = cancerous types)</div></div>

Kuznetsov isn't at all a "cancerous type." He's absolutely beloved by his teammates. Caps organization is somewhat annoyed about him breaking covid rules (to hang out with teammates!) and getting caught doing cocaine, which reflects poorly on his personal decision-making but not on his ability to fit in with a team's culture. He's not a locker room cancer.

Thread: Major changes in the next 72 hours

Yeah this is an interesting thought and there's certainly a lot of unfair Kuznetsov bashing on this here website but I don't think MTL parts with Kotkaniemi for a 29-year-old

Thread: Goaltending

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Not sure we really need to give up a pick in this deal though. They want to move on from holtby after last season and there are plenty of other goalie options, not exactly a sellers market, you know?</div></div>

Point taken, though I think to ensure salary retention it needs a little bit of sweetening. VAN isn't in a great cap spot either, and taking on a 3.9 or 4 mil d-man plus 1.4 from Holtby is a tough sell without some more incentive, I think.
