Speculation: Acq/ Rost. Bldg./ Cap Part XXVIII

[Hivemind]

Unbelievable that all 4 of the guys you mentioned have NTC's. It's doubtful he waives his to leave his hometown for here, but I'd love to have Garrison as the LD rounding out the top-4. Maybe ship out Brouwer/Erat+ for him.

Doubt we could get Garrison for that little, and especially not for Erat. Maybe Brouwer packaged with a quality defense prospect (Schmidt, Bowey) might at least get Vancouver's ears to perk up, but I think other teams would offer more.

According to multiple league sources, the Capitals are once again interested in acquiring Miller, who is expected to be moved shortly after the Olympic break ends on Feb. 24.

The Capitals would include Neuvirth in a package for Miller, and might also need to add their 2014 first-round draft pick in order to get him.

Sabres forward Steve Ott is also someone the Capitals are eyeing, and could be included if the two teams attempt to expand their discussions.

George wants to save his jobbbbb

This would be one of those zero steps forward, two steps back situations.

 

[EroCaps]

Mortgage the future for another first round loss.

When all the assets have been moved, rebuild. Cup less and Ovechkin likely in Russia. Fantastic.

This is why you go big at the trade deadline years ago like many fans called for.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

There's a good chance that pick is as low as #6 overall.

AND a chance at winning the lottery.

In a crap draft....

How would we fit that under the cap?

Really that's hardly anything to give up for him. While I like Neuvy more than Holtby, Neuvy's time as a full-fledged backup is coming to a close. He's not going to sit behind anyone anymore, while Holtby is probably more inclined to backup for a few seasons. This draft is pretty horrid unless you have a top-1 or top-2 pick.

A bad contract (Laich please!) would have to be dealt there.

 

[Brian23]

I kinda hope he makes that trade, loses Miller, and is fired. Hopefully the new GM could unload some people and super tank next year.

Than...maybe we get McDavid.

 

[n3ss]

GMGM's contract is up after this season right?

 

[hb12xchamps]

I don't see a need for Ott whatsoever. This team is full of grinders as it is. Why add another? I know Ott is a super pest but we have a younger version pest in Latta

I'd imagine Brooks would have Buffalo as one of his NTC teams.

GMGM will trade Johansson+ for Ott to make the team "tougher to play against" come the playoffs.

I would trade Mojo for Ott only if we can resign him

Replay of Shanny's 600th goal game.

Caps effort level is miles better. I love watching the young guns but it hurts seeing them make the same mistakes after how many years?

Wait, WHAT? GMGM rails against NTCs, and rightly so, and he gives one to ****ing Brooks Laich? What kind of crazy world am I living in?

It's a 5 team no-trade list submitted at the beginning of the season. It's not particularly limiting. If they wanted to trade Laich, they wouldn't have trouble doing so in the offseason, when other teams' cap issues aren't a problem.

That's not so bad, though I'm not sure I agree with your assessment that the Caps wouldn't have trouble trading him in the offseason. Given his recent injury history, salary and production he may be a negative value player.

No chance whatsoever.

As has been pointed out before, Horcoff returned something, and he was older and on a worse contract.

Laich's working on 2 years straight of injury issues though. I think you could find some takers, but I can't imagine it's going to be for much at all.

 

[SimplySensational]

Laich is dating Hough. Hurry up and trade him before she dumps him, his value has never been as high.

The non-mouth-breathers here don't know who that is.

Close enough?

A perfect fit, they're loaded with D.

This year's draft is garbage, dont mind if they trade the first round pick, but for miller, dont know
