Speculation: Acq./Rost. Bldg./Cap Part XXXVII

[BrooklynCapsFan]

The problem with Green is that even with the easiest imaginable minutes, he can't even stay productive or healthy. His value drops every game.

 

[Halpysback*]

Still way more of a center than their "centers."

Don't be absurd. Everyone knows we can't convert a former selke-caliber 60 point center to center. Only european wing prospects and total misfits like Brooks Laich and Eric Fehr.

 

[FoppaForsberg*]

Greetings Caps fans, was wondering what your thoughts on a deal like Alzner + Brouwer/Ward for ROR + Siemens? As for comments about him looking lost and such, yeah that's true, but I think he just needs a change of scenery, and Washington could be a good trading partner. thoughts?

Or a deal like ROR + 2015 top ten pick for Alzner + Burakowsky + Ward/Brouwer

Isn't Siemens himself kind of Alzner? What's wrong with him?

Is that pick McDavid or Eichel? If not, that package doesn't come close to getting you Burakovsky.

 

[Raikkonen]

How can you view ROR as a good player? He is expensive risky rental with huge demands / big next contract.

I'm ok to make a trade for him, but just use picks and other assets than Alzner.

This doesn't sound like Alzner for good center. It sounds like Alzner for good lottery ticket.

Green for ROR with direct trade or a chain of asset trading. That makes some sense.

 

[ChibiPooky]

So let's play the trade game. Phoenix is looking to shake things up and core is not off limits.

I'd put just about anybody on the table and see if they'd discuss Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

 

[blokeyhighlander]

Which does GMBM address first?

1. Goalie (starter)
2. Goalie (backup)
3. 2C
4. 1/2RW
5. Picks/Prospects (ex. Green traded for picks/prospects)

Wonder what they'd look for on top of Carlson for OEL. Then extend Green to keep the RD depth.

Also very much interested in Vermette or Hanzal.

I'd love an 80s style trade to get OEL, Vermette and Hanzal.

 

[SimplySensational]

Brunner on waivers.... Hmmm...

I'm guessing they'd want forwards instead of trading for another d-man.

Or maybe take a downgrade at D for Alzner+Bura+pick.

 

[ChibiPooky]

I made two trades, sent John Erskine to LTIR, and sent Latta and O'Brien to Hershey.

Karl Alzner + Troy Brouwer + Bowey/Carrick/? + 3rd/? <---> Oliver Ekman-Larsson + Martin Hanzal

Mike Green + Vrana/? <---> Ryan O'Reilly

[strungout]

Why not just keep Volpatti on LTIR and keep Latta up?

 

[ChibiPooky]

I wanted Latta to play, whereas I'm perfectly fine with Volpatti not getting a sweater for 30 games in a row.

 

[Langway]

Latta would have to clear waivers.

Yandle seems like the D Arizona would most likely move as OEL is a foundational type player. It would take more than that for Arizona to move him. I'd think Arizona would primarily be interested in NHL-ready forwards with upside and maybe there's a match there but it would take a lot. I'd guess all of their pending UFAs, Yandle and someone like Korpikoski are the most likely to move.

 

[strungout]

This team needs more Latta.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Ah right, forgot that.

Don't interrupt my wild, baseless speculation. I'm on a roll!

GMBM ready to move secondary parts...

 

[Hivemind]

Karl Alzner + Troy Brouwer + Bowey/Carrick/? + 3rd/? <---> Oliver Ekman-Larsson + Martin Hanzal

I don't see Arizona even remotely considering that. Two very valuable, core-type pieces there for mostly secondary pieces (Alzner may be borderline core depending on the team, but the not enough to pry away a guy like OEL without a huge add-on).

You honestly think if ARZ puts one of the leagues best young d-man and a great two way center on the market, all they can get is a top four d-man barely a top six forward and meh prospect? Oh sorry and a third round pick?

Seriously this isn't NHL 15

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

A Ridley/Miller type deal that gets you a couple of good long-term players! I like it.

 

[Hivemind]

To get OEL, I think it would be more along the lines of Carlson + Kuznetsov/Burakovky. Otherwise we're talking Backstrom.
