Bittersweet. I like Bura, and he's got tantalizing skill, but the Caps can't really afford a $3.5M+ cap hit for tantalizing skill without the end product. Watch him come in at north of $4M when Colorado extends him..

Edit: I may be reading it wrong, but I think only the 3rd is from Arizona. Wouldn't it be Colorado's 2nd + Arizona's 3rd, not both from Arizona as in the title?

So how much cap space do we have to play with to replace Bura? Gotta think around 2.5 after we sign all the RFAs. I wouldn't mind Perry on a cheap 1 year contract for the 3rd line.

Bunch of disjointed thoughts on this:

Both of Wilson's roommates are now gone (Burakovsky and Latta)

Caps trade with Colorado a lot, under both GMGM and GMBM (and various GMs on their side). Up with with St. Louis as one of the better trade relationships the Caps have

Kinda highlights how underwhelming the return for Johansson was. GMBM painted himself into a corner with that one. Even with an apparent cap crunch here, GMBM was able to get a nearly identical return for a less proven player with similar amounts of team control.

Hopefully this means GMBM has had productive discussions with a potential 3RW during the interview period. Donskoi? Williams? Pominville?
