Not sure how credible this guy is, but FWIW. It's going to be funny if Florida doesn't get Giroux because they spent their first round pick on Ben Chiarot.
This is where BMac is shopping at the moment:Not a big fan of reports linking them to Deslauriers (moved to MIN) and Austin Watson. Deslauriers I guess I could get as a Hagelin replacement but shoot higher, guys.
I guess my question is what are they saving these assets for if not to try to get Ovi another cup? If that isn’t the goal what are we doing here?At these prices HELL NO
The only player moved thus far that has had a positive relative impact to their team is Giroux, and he chose Florida. And then there’s Toffoli, which was a few weeks back.I guess my question is what are they saving these assets for if not to try to get Ovi another cup? If that isn’t the goal what are we doing here?
Oh I’m not mad given what has moved so far either. I just see people freak out about asking prices and I just don’t know why any asset we have would be untouchable.The only player moved thus far that has had a positive relative impact to their team is Giroux, and he chose Florida.

Hagel is also good but more of a middle 6 forward on a shooting bender rather than a true top 6 guy. I don’t think I would’ve wanted the Caps to pay the price that Tampa did either.
We’ll see what BMac does before Monday afternoon, but not really upset the Caps didn’t acquire any of the players that have been traded so far, even taking out the prices that have been paid.
Gotcha. I took it as wanting to pay some of those prices for those specific players.Oh I’m not mad given what has moved so far either. I just see people freak out about asking prices and I just don’t know why any asset we have would be untouchable.
But what are you protecting? The suck is coming. Let’s try to help Ovi out.These prices are ridiculous. No thanks.
Giroux appears to be going for far less than other rentals, which makes sense given his desire to go to Florida. Too bad DC wasn't an option because a price like that would have been palatable.
