Which is the reason the Caps say no.About the ONLY thing going for this trade is one less year of Armia.

Apparently not because it seem to hit your head as well!Was the puck ok?
Hathaway being quietly mentioned in some threads lately. Must be the images of Cozens’ nose… Philly should listen if interest is real.I always assumed they didn't want to attach anything to him anyway. That's why they would look at someone like Armia, so they can do a "change of scenary" kind of trade. It could be Labanc/Hoffman/Duclair from SJ or a return from Garnet Hathaway from Philly.
Actually it’s already a pretty slam dunk win for Detroit at this point….. and has a chance to go down as one of the best trades in recent memory. Remember, they also got Cossa and Buchelnikov in that trade. Not to mention that big 7th rounder in 2025 they got for Vrana.Vrana-Mantha was the classic lose-lose trade.
Vrana was actually the throw-in during that trade. The 1st and 2nd Round picks were the main assets, and Detroit is probably very happy with those two prospects right now.Vrana-Mantha was the classic lose-lose trade.
Makes less than zero sense for Capitals. They aren't looking for more 30-year olds, especially ones signed that long.Potentially something around Hertl and Mantha?

Poor fit for Hertl. Who has NMC too.
What are the major pieces being added by the Caps?Potentially something around Hertl and Mantha?
Agreed, he is still over paid but watching him doesn't make me mad anymore. He looks like a solid bottom 6 forward again. Ideally on your 4th line but could probably handle 3rd line minutes.
So… he and Mantha are twins is what you’re saying. You could have taken Armia’s name out of this and I would have thought you were talking about Mantha.Problem with Armia is that you get flashes of him where he plays like a beast. He is big, can skate fine, good hands and shot - he may be a bottom 6, but i still consider that dissapointing in his case.
I've seen a few pieces on Armia over the years that talk about his unfilled potential in offense. It is as if each coach sees his potential, thinks they can jumpstart him, but fails to do so. Each coach that has him will tell you he has all the tools to be a top 6. By all accounts he puts in the work, shows up on time, so it doesn't sound like a work ethic issue. Is it an offensive IQ thing? Confidence thing? Not competitive enough? Not motivated? He is frustrating. When the habs made the finals a few years back, he had games where i thought "There he is!", thinking he had finally found that "thing" he was missing. Nope. I was wrong

Dvorak for Mantha and a 2nd?
3rd overall -> Kotkaniemi -> Dvorak -> Mantha + 2nd
Crazy how Montreal fans went out of their way to trash Kotkaniemi. I guess it makes sense when you realize they prefer Mantha + 2nd more than 3rd Overall lmao
That logic is flawless.3rd overall -> Kotkaniemi -> Dvorak -> Mantha + 2nd

Well to a point.. Mantha is the better player and has 100pts more than Armia in a similar number of games.So… he and Mantha are twins is what you’re saying. You could have taken Armia’s name out of this and I would have thought you were talking about Mantha.
