Speculation: Vancouver interested in Mantha?

[Reverend Mayhem]

What would it take?

One-half less a brain.

 

[JKG33]

washington has the forward already to replace him in Miroshnichenko, so really no need for a forward back

They're replacing him with a cherry?

Alright, I'll see myself out

If we are trading a 1st I'd rather get Henrique or Tanev and even then that's an overpay.

What would it take?

Just NO Don't do it he isn't that good.

A 1st for anything related to cap dump Mantha would be a tragic trade. Even if you’re dumping a player.

If you’re moving a 1st needs to be for a stud.

Caps are now in playoff race. Mantha playing great. I think if anyone wants him, at 50% retention, the price is a first.

I'd swap Mantha for Mikheyev but that's about it.

This isnt a rumour, someone posed a question on Twitter.

You're not wrong tho, I've often found it weird when a team at the top goes and changes a bunch of what got them there.
We do however need a legit winger now that we have basically 3 #1 centres, centering their own lines.
Not interested in Mantha who is Uber streaky.

Mantha has been good this season, and since he is UFA it should not matter at all what he did and didnt do last season or two. He is not a cap dump anymore, he is a ES-25 goal winger. With 50% retention he is cheap to fit under the cap too. And as a rental its pointless to say ”contract year” or above average shooting%, we are not valuing him based if he can sustain his current level for next season. All that matter is what he is today.

3rd alone isnt enough and Mikheyev has no value for Caps and they arent there to make you favours.

We already have our own bottom6 wingers, and he is not what we need for our top6. Thats just blocking capspace for real help and blocking roster spot for someone else. If you need him moved you move him elsewhere in a separate deal, or you pay extra for us to take him.

So its an easy no for somethting like Mikheyev+3rd. Straight up 2nd is the least id trade him for, and adding an cap dump (even if the player isnt really bad) + retaining only increases the value.
