Yes.Lmao playoff push with this team?
Makfi is still in the shadows in Vegas and he know's BMAC too well.Another GMBM fail
As a UFA coming off (what will likely be) a career year and looking to cash in on his last big payday AND with the salary cap going up, Mantha is absolutely going to sign a UFA deal that no Caps fan should be comfortable with.
He is not going to sign a "reasonable" or "team-friendly" 2 year x $5M "prove it" deal that some people here keep trying to push. That's just wishful thinking to the point of self delusion. Dude is having a career year. That's him proving it. And he's going to look to get paid. He'll go where the term and money are.
The teams trading out firsts are trading late firsts that barely make the teams anyways. Caps will have to go full fail to get another player in the future that could be a superstar. Unless they are gathering late firsts to trade for superstars it’s meh anyway.We couldn’t give him away last off season, so it’s a lot better than it could’ve been.
What’s unfortunate is that we have very few pieces to move this year worth much - no Orlovs, certainly. I don’t see Patch, Edmunson or Dowd getting a first.
Main trade boards show 50% retention.Not bad with no retention. Waiting until TDL for the full picture. Maybe the 2nd gets flipped, maybe we need to move this year/25 1st and they want to have a 2nd.
6 months ago we all would be excited by the return to unload him. I have a feeling he is getting up for a contract year and this will be the outlier
Wait and see.
Welp.Not bad with no retention.
Also allows retention deals for other players
A 2nd and 4th with no retention is about as expect, all the talk of a 1st was centered around us retaining 50%. Can't grade the deadline on 1 trade made 3 days before said deadline.
Buzz killMain trade boards show 50% retention.
Welp.
