[LesDiablesRouges]

Four days out, it’s time to focus on the TDL. No more F5ing either! What are we going to do, BMac?

Have a weird feeling that Leafs can put a claim on DSP.​

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

First order of business is DSP. Either he gets claimed or is sent down. I don’t think he’s going to be a happy camper in Hershey and could throw off chemistry, given the fact he’s been irate since being waived. Hopefully for him he gets another opportunity to play in the NHL and I think he gets claimed.

Reirden yesterday:
“There is lots going on right now. We’re always trying to improve our team and the direction we’re going and get better. There are lots of moving parts right now in a number of different spots.”

This amount of smoke just doesn’t seem like a minor move, such as a fourth line pickup and call it a day. We will see soon!

2nd order may be slotting "flats" Siggy on the active roster. Sure its just a callup but does have roster/cap ramifications.

He really impressed me. Definitely agree. At the latest, he will be here when rosters expand after the TDL, given we have enough cap space to call him up.

Mark Stone plz santa

That would put us at 8 d-men on the roster. Me thinks Bowey is getting shipped out,,,

 

[hb12xchamps]

Siegenthaler is still physically in Hershey at their practice today. That doesn’t seem like a guy who is getting recalled

 

[hb12xchamps]

They only had 11 forwards the other night so that means that someone could be on the move today or they just wanted two extra forwards

Anyone care to make any bold predictions?

I can still see them moving on from Burakovsky despite an uptick in his recent play. But I only see that happening if they land someone of the Stone/Duchene variety and not some milquetoast third line replacement.

My pipe dream remains Mark Stone. I don't know if the Capitals could or should give up what is necessary to land him, but he would undoubtedly move the needle the most for this team.

There’s so many available pieces this year it’s kind of tough!!

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Ottawa is such a shitshow - you really have to feel for their fans. A terrible owner with an incompetent GM with his hands tied. Oy vey.

 

[Melkor]

Betting on Dzingel.

Assets I'm looking to give away:

• Burakovsky
• Copley

Assets I'm okay with parting with for the right price:

• Bowey
• Johansen
• draft picks from the 2nd on

Assets I would need to really need to see a major windfall before I said yes but wouldn't lose sleep over:

• 1st round pick
• The entirety of top 9 forwards in Hershey

RE: Guys like Stephenson/Djoos/Boyd

First, I think Stephenson's having a down year and his ceiling is actually impressively high. Like the other two, I really like his style when he is competing on all cylinders. Second, and most importantly, the trade value of those guys is so drastically lower than what is likely their actual value. To the NHL guys like Stephenson are like a car driven off the lot, the moment he was no longer a "prospect" he lost a ton of value. We know what he's capable of, but that won't be what calibrates his worth, rather his value will be dictated by his performance over the last year. With younger guys you sometimes need to take your lumps and develop more of a sample size before making a call. Stephenson was never a really highly touted guy so he'll never garner any interest in reputation alone, the market will likely err on the side of caution and assess his most recent time as who he is. Caps are going to find themselves with a ton of bottom 6 forwards in the next 2 years, I'm more interested in what we do then.

 

[peterthegreat12]

My bold prediction is they acquire Hagelin.

My other prediction is that they package Bowey and Burakovsky for something. Both players IMO have fallen out of favor.

Copley is insurance against the expansion draft. Doesn't mean he can't be traded but there's added risk there inre Samsonov.

I hope it's not Hagelin. Even if it's him they shouldn't add a 3rd rounder on top of Jaskin to get him. They shouldn't be the team adding the pick in that trade.

Agreed. He doesn't improve the team in any demonstrable area over what we had (DSP/Jaskin). I'd rather stand pat than make that move. That being said, I trust BMac. The guy knows what he is doing.

If I had to guess, I would be right in this ballpark. My biggest fear is giving up any decent futures, as we don’t have much as is right now.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

19 minutes until we hear about DSP's fate.

 

[letsgocaps]

I hope they don't ship too many picks. We need to draft some forwards.

What do you mean by this?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Bold prediction is they don't do anything bold. There aren't a lot of glaring holes on this team... they just need to play better.

Depth forward that will help the PK and a depth defenseman that will sit in the press box as injury insurance is my bet.
