Washington Capitals Rumours

18 Mar 2025 23:08:07
This is just to gauge how untouchable Demidov is:
MTL sends demidov
To Washington for Dubois (50%retained), Leonard and Cole Hutson
Who says no?

20 Mar 2025 17:54:56
Habs say HECK no.

Having a player like Demidov fall to you in the draft is simply too rare. No chance a rebuilding team passes on realizing his potential within the structure of their rebuild.

21 Mar 2025 02:41:25
As a Habs fan, I've been waiting for a dynamic offensive forward all my life. Lafluer was near his end when I really remember following. Richer gave us some hope with a couple 50 goal seasons, but was to inconsistent.
It's to early to tell, will he be a Kaprizov with a little Kucherov? Or will he be Nakita Filatov? I am hoping he's gonna be great, and look forward to seeing how he plays for the Habs..
The offer is somewhat interesting . My head says.. maybe... haha , but heart says no

30 Mar 2025 17:33:36
Realistically if Habs were offered that they would take it. Dubois at 4 mil with the rising cap would be the equivalent to 2 mil in a few seasons that would be the best value contract in NHL history. Not to mention Lenoard while not as Dynamic by any means could end up being the better 2 way player some day I see him as a future Justin Williams.

25 Feb 2025 20:40:50
Chicago: connor Murphy 50% this year and next , Ryan Donato
...Washington:1st and Boston 2nd this year, Lars Eller to make cap work. Seeing Washington is looking for a middle 6 forward and a second pairing defenseman, 2 birds with one stone. Eller is 35 and Donato is a big upgrade and Murphy cheap for next year.

28 Dec 2024 19:15:14
Montreal has to think about trading evans and then resigning him this offseason, I think he could be the most sought after trade to any contenders …2 options
1st option
Mtl trades with Washington
Evans and a 2nd round
To Washington for Ryan Leonard
Out of respect to ovi caps have to go all in now
Option2
Jake evans
To devils for nemec

28 Dec 2024 21:59:28
Only Montreal considers those deals.

29 Dec 2024 02:36:39
Habs wouldn't get either of those top prospects for Evans. Best thing for Habs I think is try and keep him for 4-5 seasons. Don't risk losing him. He's a valuable bottom 6 player that when needed can play top 6 for injury relief as well as a great penalty killer .

29 Dec 2024 12:37:23
Nemec would require a serious package to even get NJ to consider it.

Evan’s will be traded, but it’s unlikely he’ll be re-signed by the Habs. His agent will rightly cash in on the season he’s had, but the challenge will be living up to the AAV he’ll earn. He’s a really good addition to any team, but every player has to slot in at the right cap hit.

30 Dec 2024 13:07:43
You think very highly on Evan's. He'll get a 3rd and a lower prospect.

01 Jan 2025 15:12:37
I suspect a trade for Evans will look similar to, but slightly better, than the Lehkonen trade that made with Carolina when they received a prospect and a 2nd.

Evans is on a 20+ goal pace, is a center who is good in the dot, defensively responsible, and he’s a pending UFA on a cheap deal.

Though it’s possible the Habs could keep him, it’s more likely they trade him. His value will never be higher, and it’s also likely the salary he’ll rightly earn as a UFA will exceed what should be paid a bottom 6 center, even one that can play up in a lineup.

Happy New Year one and all?.

06 Dec 2024 14:25:40
Buffalo Trades
Tuch
7th Round Pick 2025 (WSHs Pick)

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Benning (AHL)
Hildeby (AHL)
1st Round Pick 2026

Treliving is looking for that one trade before or at the deadline for this years playoffs, many believe it's for a Centre but adding Tuch to RWing will also help huge and what the price tag will be for a Centre imo Tuch would be a good target and help just as much, Kampf and Jarnkrok if one or both are playing before the end of the season will have to be traded away for cap reasons also.

Sabres need to do something and Tuch is probably their best trade chip, NRobertson, Hildeby and The 1st Rounder are why they would pull something like this imo.
Benning is a depth Defenceman that can still play in The NHL gives them more stability on the backend for this season.



Thoughts ?

06 Dec 2024 18:07:11
3 ahl players and a first for Tuch…………hangs up phone.

07 Dec 2024 20:09:03
UPL and Levi already in the net, they have no use for goaltending depth.

Robertson has 2 NHL goals this year so far.

That 1st round pick is likely to be somewhere in the 26th-32nd overall range, which is worth using as a trade chip but there has to be more added to it than just AHL players.

Don't know anything about Benning, but should I? I'll give you credit, at least it's not Holmberg or Jarnkrok or Kampf for once.

07 Dec 2024 20:09:59
Everything on the Leafs trade block in exchange for a forward.

Rinse and repeat again tomorrow.

08 Dec 2024 13:27:36
- puts leafs over the cap.

-Tuch is a first line RW, so would Tuch theoretically be taking Marner or Nylander’s spot?

- Robertson can’t make the leaf lineup, so why are other teams going to want him, or the the handful of others that you recycle daily in these one-sided trade proposals?

- Tuch is the kind of player that every team would love in their playoff roster. If he was available he’d draw better offers than this yard sale.

09 Dec 2024 16:54:27
Robertson isn't moving the needle on a trade at all anymore. The game for me that solidified that was against Vegas when he had the puck and essentially had Petro beat to get out of our zone. Petro turned and with one hand took the puck off od Robertson from a stand still position.

Robertson has a wicked shot, but lacks the foot speed to break away and use it on teams. He works hard, but he's still getting knocked off the puck 90% of the time.

It is what it is at this point, but he's not going to be a piece most teams want and he definitely won't be a piece included for a player like Tuch. Would love to add him, but the conversation for him likely starts with Cowan and a 1st and goes from there.

10 Dec 2024 16:08:52
@MG69 IF Tuch was on the block which the home town boy is not, Cowan and a 1st would be a hard offer to beat.

10 Dec 2024 21:21:09
@vbbbvvbb definitely would be, but team like Buffalo may put more value on more draft capital which we don't have. Team could offer a lesser prospect and tag on more draft capital to make a competitive deal as well.

Imagine a line of:

Knies-Matthews-Tuch

Be a tough line to match up against, but it's a pipe dream at this point ?.

02 Aug 2024 21:53:33
Hey guys.
I saw this potential trade but I think it was rejected. Sources do not fully know the reason why. Speculation is McGroarty's demands.
But the trade was
WPG
McGroarty
WASHINGTON
McMichael.

Like to know you thoughts and opinions on this. There was any others discussed as far a I know. One for one. Personally maybe WPG has to add something more. McMichael has some NHL experience and Center.
My opinion is you're trading an unknown value player for a needed positional player with little NHL experience. This trade gives WPG a 2C.
But IDK.
Want your thoughts.

02 Aug 2024 22:12:22
It would be okay as long as Winnipeg isn't adding. The Jets would take a hit on ceiling, but would have an NHL ready player. I just don't know what they'd do with McMichael.

He isn't a 2C now and hasn't shown much evidence of having the offensive chops to get there, so I think he tops out as a 3C, which isn't a need.

I can see why it didn't work out.

03 Aug 2024 00:21:00
McMichael is a Center but Washington is more likely be moving him to wing. I checked his stats. Not bad but not great. If he could be a 2C then maybe this trade would make since but if not then the trade doesn’t work. Jets don’t need wingers
I don’t know about McGroarty’s value but a trade must be one quality needed commodity.
Lots of rumours, but lots of them do not make sense for Jets. WPG has 2 major needs 2C and top 4RD. But not much money left. Especially after signing Perfetti when they do.
Lots of trade rumours about Habs getting Laine. Idk why Habs would make that trade.

03 Aug 2024 11:44:53
McMicheal has top 6/ 2nd line center potential but his development has been sheltered because of the depth Washington has had with Backstrom/ Kuznetsov/ and Strome.

With the first 2 now gone and Dubois coming this season, McMichael is still looking at probably playing 3rd line C or moving up and down the lineup. I think with Winnipeg he would have had an actual opportunity at more minutes and a role that he's better suited for as a 2nd line C.

McGroarty has the higher trade value but hasn't had a chance to establish his potential yet, I think thus trade was proposed because it would have given both players a chance to get what they're looking for in more NHL ice time. But instead Washington opted to extend McMichael and see what happens with this seasons new roster.

03 Aug 2024 17:43:24
I like McMichael for the Jets in a trade but I believe that McGroarty will become a Tkachuk type of player.
In fairness to McG he has a good point as the Jets have not had a good record of dealing with their young players.
Scheifele playing on the 3rd line until an injury to Little, Morrissey was to be sent down until Buff demanded that he play with him,
Connor who was sent down yet again until an injury forced the Jets to recall him 3 days later,
Heinola who has never been given a fair chance despite looking very good when in the lineup until his injury last season
19 goal Perfetti who was in the press box watching the Jets struggle to score goals.
I hope that the Jets sign and play McG but will Arneil give him a fair chance to play through rookie mistakes?

21 Jul 2024 18:52:40
Calgary: Kadri
2026 3rd.
Colorado: Landeskog barring he agreed.
High prospect
Washington sends a bad contract to Calgary in exchange for a 1st and Colorado ends up getting a young prospect in a three way deal. Just spit balling here. Landeskog is out for the season and likely may not play again.

And Washington is in cap hell. Colorado would get Kadri who is still serviceable and a young prospect to make up for what ever Calgary gets in return.

23 Jul 2024 01:32:28
“ what ever Calgary gets in return. ”
Well that’s the question isn’t it? What is Calgary getting for giving up some leadership and a serviceable player and a cap dump to boot. I hope more than the 1st. And yea, COL doesn’t come out of this with a young prospect. They get the 2nd line center they need and they pay for the dump of Landeskogs LTIR hit.
Very confusing post.

19 Jun 2024 19:07:56
Congratulations to both CGY & LA fans.

- CGY: great haul for Markstrom.

- LAK: congrats on dumping PLD and possibly finding a goalie. Regardless if Kuemper works out, you're MUCH better off without PLD.

Nice work CGY & LAK! (Good luck NJ & WSH.you'll need it.)

19 Jun 2024 20:34:26
Chickenfoot
So for The Leafs to get Saros it would probably take Benoit and a 1st Rounder 2026 (Lottery Protected), if you were to compare the Markstrom trade.
Yet didn't you agree it would take Marner plus to get Saros?
What I am trying to get at is again teams don't trade major assets in trades like you keep trying to say, that's about right for Markstrom and and not surprised at all at the price tag, including Calgary eating part of the contract.
Today was a prime example of what I have said all along.

19 Jun 2024 21:01:18
I can't believe that LA gave up on PLD so fast. Although, I don't know why they traded for him in the first place.

19 Jun 2024 23:29:26
- Saros will be in demand.

- Markstrom “can” be good, but no one knows which version of him will show up in Jersey, so the Devils are taking more of a risk.

- Marner, if he waives, would be a 1-year asset. Why give up hard assets for that if you’re Nashville? The Preds are rebuilding.

- Also, with Marners’ almost 11M ticket, he’s a huge cap hit, so you’re trading him at pennies on the dollar. He’s of no use to a contender, and no use to a rebuilding team. Like you said, he probably won’t move, right?

I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to grasp any of this, but hockey informed hockey fans will.

19 Jun 2024 23:30:31
Pinball: Saros (29 years old) isn't Markstrom (34 years old) and Benoit (25 years old) isn't Bahl (23 years old) .

And everyone here can agree Conroy still got the worse end of that trade.

But go off on your "I was right because I said I was right" tantrum.

20 Jun 2024 01:07:02
Just curious Pinball, do you consider Markstrom and Saros to be the same calibre goalie?

20 Jun 2024 01:17:31
To say Marner has no value to a contender is dumber than anything pinball has ever said. Look at the UFA market for an example contenders overpay for stupid contracts all the time that are far worse than Marner. Also IF the leafs aren’t willing to retain after they pay his bonus the actual cash value of the contract is low meaning the team will only pay him a fraction of his cap hit. Not 100% sure but I think it’s like 3mil, so 3rd party retention to a team that needs to reach the floor like San Jose for an example wouldn’t cost all that much if that’s needed to facilitate a trade.

20 Jun 2024 10:48:03
“To say Marner has no value to a contender is dumber than anything pinball has ever said. “

Wow.

- why would a contender want a whiney player like Marner? Because of his record of outstanding achievement in the playoffs? Because he’s such a great teammate?

- Marner has nothing that contenders are looking for, and his salary precludes him from most contenders.

Stay classy VB. Looking forward to your next insulting and head-scratching post.

20 Jun 2024 13:04:35
Marner has value to a contender at the deadline, but if he gets dealt at the deadline it will be a devastatingly low return for the Leafs.

He's a good player with 50P in 57 playoff games. Not great when you look at what he makes and the level he plays at during the regular season, but not bad either. His recent playoff performance hurt his value for sure.

I doubt he gets dealt. Likely finishes the year and heads to FA. 2025 free agency class has the potential to be scary good. I know I would rather enter that free agency with north of $20mill in cap space then bring back Marner at North of $10mill a year.

20 Jun 2024 23:35:04
Before Mathew Tkachuk was moved to the panthers he was despite being “playoff style player” was awful offensively for a player of his caliber and on top that he took stupid penalties that lost his team 2 or 3 games in the playoffs. Look at what a change of scenery did for him. I’m not sure if you’re trolling but you sound foolish. Respectfully. There isn’t even a comparable to players who consistently produce 90-100 point paces because they aren’t traded.

You rambled for years that the leafs were going to trade Mathews then once he resigned you went to Nylander now it’s Marner. Not one of your predictions have ever been accurate. I’d say you’re up there with Pinball for the worst takes on this site.

1st Round Pick 2026

Washington Trades
Carlson*

*Caps retain 2 million a year for the next 2 years of Carlson's remaining contract.


Before anyone says Washington won't retain any money don't forget Backstrom is done and will be on LTIR next season before he officially retires after that, good move for Washington going forward imo.

Leafs get a veteran solid 2 way defenceman in Carlson which they will be looking to add this off season.



Thoughts ?

09 Jun 2024 22:11:56
I dont believe Carlson is on the trade block, and if/ when he will be it will require a bigger return than this.

An RFA and a late 1st round pick with an AHL/ fring NHLer won't be enough to get a top 2 defenseman, when you ask for retention as well then the ask gets even bigger.

09 Jun 2024 22:18:48
How is that a good move for Washington going forward. The first rounder good but mcman and Liljegren are crap that’s why you include them and Robertson in every trade.

10 Jun 2024 00:04:14
Nashan
Tisk Tisk undervalue Leaf players once again?
Liljegren had 23 points in 58 games that's tied for second on Capitals Defense with Sandin, and Sandin played more games, and a +3.
McMann has shown to be a solid winger as well, neither is what you refer to as crap, Washington is doing a retool and partial rebuild, why wouldn't they look to the future with an asset like Carlson?
Don't understand why everyone on The Leafs have zero value it's baffling to me.

10 Jun 2024 15:23:50
So would you take nic dowd, Ethan bear and a first from Washington for Reilly?

10 Jun 2024 20:44:51
- Nashan isn't undervaluing your leaf pieces in that trade Pinball, so save the whining for something other than hockey.

- McMann is 27 years old with a total of 65 NHL games. He's not a prospect or a player, because his track record tells us exactly who he is. He's an asset whose main skill seems to be maintaining a body temperature of around 98F.

- Lilly is the softest D-man I can think of at this moment, and at 25 years old and almost 200 games played, hockey people understand who and what he is. (You must know too since you included him and your current "usual suspects" in every repetitive version of your latest trade. )

- The only asset you're giving up of value is the leafs 1st, which demonstrates your limited knowledge of hockey. The leafs don't have enough picks or prospects to hand out any more.

- You didn't include anything for retention. OOPS! A 1st doesn't get you Carlson. with 2M retained. That's just hillarious.

10 Jun 2024 21:43:15
Nashan
More like Milano, Sandin and a 1st Rounder for Rielly I would yes.
Not Dowd and Bear they aren't as good as McMann and Liljegren.
Plus you forgot to mention that The Cap top players are past their prime, this Leaf team in 5 or 6 years Will be like Washington.
That's why Washington not Toronto is looking to the future.

10 Jun 2024 22:27:09
Chickenfoot
Yes I know teams only want Leaf players like Marner for a frindge prospect a washed up player and a 2nd Rounder.
I keep forgetting I am on let's undervalue every Leaf Player site.

10 Jun 2024 23:20:23
Carlson likely just rides it out with the Caps. Big prove it year for Lily coming up. He's either going to be a bottom pairing dman going forward or he's gonna show his worth as a top 4 dman. The other thing is if the Caps want Lily they could very easily send him an offer sheet and put the Leafs in a tough spot.

11 Jun 2024 15:00:09
If the Caps top players like Carlson are past their prime, then why do you want him on the Leafs?

No need to be a drama queen and have a panic attack when people disagree with you.

You're offering a past his prime AHL player, a late 1st round pick and an RFA who will be too old when the Capitals are back to being contenders.

In return you're asking for arguably one of the top 10 right handed defensemen in the league. Don't act so surprised when people disagree with you.

Carlson*


*Caps retain 4 million of Carlson's remaining 2 years with an AAV of 2 million.


Leafs will be looking in the off season to get a solid two way defenseman imo, and Carlson checks all the boxes as well as being a veteran player.

Caps are an older team looking to get younger for the future, Carlson has been a top Defenceman for them but it's time to trade him for assets that help for the now and the future and this proposal does that imo.



Thoughts ?

05 Apr 2024 15:53:15
I think Caps would take this. Carlson is good . not the player he was years ago. but the return helps replenish the cupboard.

08 Apr 2024 17:13:02
- Treliving won't be trading 1st rounders like Dubas. He would also probably look for someone younger than 34 to commit assets towards.

- It's hard to imagine an NHL team retaining 4M x 3 seasons. Besides, WSH is all about getting Ovi the record, and winning appears to be secondary. Trading Carlson would undermine that.

08 Apr 2024 21:40:02
Chickenfoot.
Treliving won't be trading 1st Rounders?
Tyler Toffoli and what about Sean Monahan plus a 1st Rounder to Montreal for Future Considerations?
Just to name a few he did not that long ago.
You complain on my posts that I don't address Defense or Goaltending, so I address Defense and still a no iyo.
It's 4 million over 2 years not 4 million a year for 3 years as Carlson only has 2 years left to go after this season.

09 Apr 2024 12:16:58
He's done it before, but as I have previously said our prospect pool isn't that deep. Most of our guys are hitting that 22-23 mark and haven't been remotely good enough to challenge for a roster spot. Continue to add to the prospect pool, add some players in free agency, and focus to when Tavares is off the books or brought back at a team friendly deal. Cap will have gone up and we will have some space to work with to address any lingering concerns and make a very solid team.

10 Apr 2024 20:18:01
PlNBALL:

- stop with the whining and crying when you get predictable feedback. Embarrassing.

- Treliving said he wasn’t trading 1st round picks in Toronto. He’s been a GM in the past, and of course he’s trade them in the past. He recognizes that Toronto has few prospects and picks left and can’t afford to trade them as recklessly as Dubas did.

- good for you to come to the realization that the leafs D needs work. Your trades are still way off, one-sided, homer trades though, and the feedback you receive even from fellow leaf fans confirms that. If you can’t accept the truth that’s on you.

01 Mar 2024 16:56:51
Leafs Deadline deal

1. Washington: Jensen and Dowd (50% retained) For 2024 1st 3rd NYI, Timmins, voit and Niemala

Bertuzzi Matthews Robertson
Jarnkrok Domi Nylander
Knies Tavares Marner
Dowd Kampf Mcmann

Reilly Jensen
Brodie Liligrin
McCabe Benoit
Lybushkin
* Gio LTIR *

Woll
Samsonov
Jones


To Explain the Roster shift.

Marner and Matthews is to predictable as they will get shut down so they should diversfy the lines and have Tavares and Brodie more realistic roles. Also will have one extra Goalie and defencemen to rotate in and out.

01 Mar 2024 18:33:12
It's important note only dowd is 50% retained for the deal.

02 Mar 2024 19:55:13
we just traded for lyubushkin and your already benching him until an injury. nty.

02 Mar 2024 19:58:26
A 1st for those 2 is steep. Maybe Simplify it to Timmons, Volt and 1st for the two. But I don’t think these 2 will require a 1st but that’s a trade I wouldn’t hate as a leafs fan.

02 Mar 2024 21:04:38
seems like an overpayment from TOR

26 Feb 2024 18:44:31
I have a creative 3 way trade similar to the trade that brought Ryan O'Reilly to The Leafs.

Chicago Trades Gust (AHL) to Washington for Mantha and The Capitals retain 50% of Mantha's expiring contract.

Toronto Trades a 1st Round Pick 2024 and their 2024 3rd Round Pick (NYI Pick) to The Capitals for Gust.

Chicago Trades Mantha with Chicago retaining another 50% of Mantha's expiring contact to The Leafs for NRobertson.

So in the end Washington trades Mantha retaining half his salary and getting a 1st Round Pick and a 3rd Round Pick in 2024 from Toronto.
Chicago gets NRobertson and retaining another 50% of Mantha's contract.
And Toronto gets Mantha and Gust.
With 2 retaining of 50% by both Washington and Chicago yes Toronto can fit Mantha into their cap.


Thoughts ?

26 Feb 2024 20:32:28
Toronto passes. A 1st, 3rd and Robertson for a 30 year old ahler and Mantha who when healthy is an average hockey player. No thanks.

21 Feb 2024 14:31:22
- WSH & DAL decline.

- Dowd left with an upper body injury last night, but if he's healthy he'll definitely be sought after, and teams like the Rangers will definitely overpay to get him. If he's healthy I expect to see him on Broadway.

First One.

Second One.
St.Louis Trade
Buchnevich+

Toronto Trades
Kampf
NRobertson
1st Round Pick 2025 (Wild Pick)

+Blues retain 50% of Buchnevich's remaining 2 year contract.


First proposal very similar to The Rasmus Sandin trade with Washington at last season's deadline and it gives Toronto what they are looking for.

Second Proposal improves the Top Line or second LW position, the prior proposal keeps The Leafs 1st Rounder this upcoming draft using The Wilds pick in 2025.


Thoughts ?

14 Feb 2024 18:39:23
- Minny is definitely trying to build through the draft, especially given their crushing buyout penalties. They are unlikely to trade a 1st. (Do you think you might be a tad overvaluing Lilly? )

- I'm not sure why STL would retain 2 seasons of Boosh & take on 4 years of Kampf @ 2.4M/ year.

- You explain how this helps the leafs, but you leave out an equally important part: how does this help the other teams involved? There has to be a fit for both teams, otherwise what's the point?

14 Feb 2024 20:04:04
Bogo would refuse to even get on a plane to return to Toronto.

14 Feb 2024 21:17:12
1 Sure the capitals made a similar trade a year ago, but are they a better team now than they were then?
2 Exchange veteran kampf for a prospect like Cowan or mittens, kampf could easily be perceived as a dump to make the cap work for the leafs rather than value to the blues.

15 Feb 2024 06:42:02
Liljegren isn’t worth a 1st and the second trade doesnt meet the Blues needs at all

18 Feb 2024 04:21:26
Buch would require knies and first since he has 1.5 years and retention and 1 year cap dump.

Detroit says no. Washington says. hmm. maybe.

07 Feb 2024 21:11:48
Detroit laughs uncontrollably!

Stevie Y is a Hall of Fame player & Executive.

Let's give him a little credit.

Chris Tanev 50% retained Dan Vladar To Toronto maple leafs for a 2 round pick nicholas Robertson and Frazier Minton


Elias Lindhome 50 percent retained to Washington captials for 1 round pick 2024 and 2025 ALIAKSEI PROTAS


Noah hannfin 50% retained and Dillon Dube Ruzicka and 2025 capitals 1 round to Flyers for YEGOR ZAMULA and TRAVIS KONECNY



Calgary lineup
Jonathan hubs yegor sharigovich KONECNY
Zary. Kadri Robertson or pospisl
Coleman backend magi
Yegor zamula Robertson or pospisl Klapka


Weager kylington
Anderson Gilbert
Deismone and yan kuznetove

I think this works out for both team pretty well Calgary gets pick back and players miss the playoffs this year get a high draft pick and retool next year defence core lacks a little bit
Toronto gets a goalie and a defencman
Which they needed capitals get a number one center to help ovi flyers get hannfin great defence dube had a bad year needs a new area and ruzicka
your guys thoughts ?

Mabey not protas

19 Jan 2024 23:41:21
Lindholm can get more, overpayment for Konecny but also makes no sense for the Flyers and idk how to feel about the Leafs trade.

CGY - Andrew Mangiapane
WSH - Anthony Mantha

30 Dec 2023 22:02:57
Is Mangiapane that bad?

31 Dec 2023 02:50:48
@vbb he hasn’t been good at all this season

01 Jan 2024 21:07:42
But Mantha is useless.

01 Jan 2024 23:12:01
Exactly, downgrading would get them a better draft pick and he’s a UFA after this season so they also free up cap for next season.

Broberg on the block, McMichael has been on the block for a while. Both players could benefit from a change of scenery.

EDM - Philip Broberg
WSH - Connor McMichael


Broberg was drafted #8 in 2019, McMichael drafted #25 in 2019.

06 Dec 2023 18:24:43
I think that looks realistic.

WSH: Mantha & 2nd (2025)

MTL: Future Considerations


- WSH needs cap space now to improve their roster or their season will be over by U.S. Thanksgiving.

- MTL has plenty of cap space with injuries & LTIR relief.

- WSH is apparently in on Connor Garland, and getting rid of Mantha's full final year of 5.7M would provide the space necessary for this season.

26 Oct 2023 17:46:36
They get cap space by moving Kuznetsov who requested a trade.

26 Oct 2023 19:43:26
HRENKLIN:

- it is absolutely possible that WSH moves Kuznetsov.

- I suspect it will be easier for WSH to move Mantha at 1 X 5.7M than Kuznetsov’s 2 X 7.8M.

- Kuznetsov’s NTC means he’ll have some say in where he ends up, whereas Mantha lacks any trade protection.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see what WSH does. They don’t seem to be as serious about making the playoffs as they are in getting Ovie to break the great one’s goals record.

27 Oct 2023 00:56:24
Deadline most likely, full retention, I can see a team like Winnipeg or Dallas being interested.

Ovie isnoffnto a slow start, but is catching wind now. He'll pass gretz eventually, probably go the selanne pp specialist route at some point.

27 Oct 2023 09:07:25
Good trade

27 Oct 2023 17:52:22
HRENKLIN: I suspect WSH will be forced to make a move sooner than the deadline. My guess is WSH makes a move by mid-November to clear cap space and add missing parts to their lineup.

Also, I tend to agree with you that Ovie will pass the Great One. The organization is firmly dedicated to that, so it will happen at some point.

27 Oct 2023 20:35:20
Washington season was over before it started, this is an aging team that hung on to long without injecting new life.
This organization seems content to get Ovi the record, but not be a contender.
They will have a shot at a top 5 pick this year however.

19 Oct 2023 12:16:41
To Vancouver Canucks :
LW/RW - Anthony Mantha (5.70 @ 1 UFA)

To Washington Capitals :
LW/RW - Anthony Beauvillier (4.12 @ 1 UFA)
G - Casey DeSmith (1.80 @ 1 UFA)

20 Oct 2023 23:25:10
Vancouver is trying to clear some space and move garland, so highly unlikely they want a worse contract coming back.

04 Nov 2023 06:12:06
No. try harder.

22 Nov 2023 21:11:26
Van says no chance. Mantha is about as useful as a boat anchor in the desert.
