so i was thinking at work today, since nhl21 made kap force a trade on me, what if we did entertain a trade for kap? it would be interesting to see if a team like EDM would bite on a basis of Drai for Kap.
Obvisouly that’s off limits. Best we would get is bear and a 2nd for kapI wouldn't go talking to Edmonton fans about that...
Drain was just the first name I thought of. I would want to aim high if I’m dangling Kap. Honestly wouldn’t hate BG if he found a high end C for him.No, I really don't think they would. I think if you're looking for a roster piece coming back in that kind of move, a Hertl or Zibanejad type asset would bethe best you'd get. The logical thing to do would be a package of futures, and I think you're looking at a Jarvis/Lundell type center piece in that regard, not a Zegras/Cozens type piece.

I suppose by high end I mean horvat or better. It would have to be the right situation to make sense and it’s not my first plan but if he plays extreme hardball I’d explore it. He has the most value on our team and he is a wing which we do have some decent ones coming up. If we did a package of Kap + a first and maybe dumba or soucy also. I’d be intrigued to see what gets offered. If we are planning for the present and future it does make sense. Just won’t be super happy right away as people waited so long for kapBut who's giving a "high end" C for him? Why would a team with a high end C make that move? No matter what you do, you're getting a worse player, unless there's a situation like Eichel's where you can swap one problem for another.
Why? Signing an 8 year contract would be a stupid move on his part, potentially costing him millions of dollars.
Could also be the case of him just not wanting to play in Minny or doesn't believe they can win during that time? Depends on the end goal of Kap. Or could be a wait and see attitude to see if the team improves during that time.
He's the hot take expert when it comes to Russian players.
For example, I believe he has implied that many Russian players like Ovechkin are actually a year or two older than reported.

Expert?
Malamud is an angry troll with unhealthy grievances against many players. That said, he's not wrong in this instance. Most guys have no long-term interest in secondary NHL markets.
It's human nature to 'go big' if you're gonna travel half-way around the world for work. You see the same with NA players in the KHL. Everything being equal, why sign a longer deal with NN or Severstal if there's the possibility of signing with SKA, Avangard or CSKA later on?
Wait until someone spots him in Vladivostok and the rumors of him defecting to China start coming out.Guy went to a wedding in Moscow and fishing in Siberia. Mix-signaling the shit out of everybody.
Hot take: Not everybody likes big cities.
His new ultra-spoiled socialite girlfriend might differ. Might not be her cup of tea strutting her fur coats and plastic face in the northwoods.

Yeah, Mpls/St Paul metro area is not the north woods.
