Speculation: Caps General Discussion (Coaching/FAs/Cap/Lines etc) -- 2018-19 We Are The Champions Edition - Pt. 7

Wonder if GMBM went big and got Duchene. Duchene was officially put up for sale this morning.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

he has 300k. caps already had 1.1 mil of space to use

Right. I misinterpreted your post.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Yes...

Delete this and take a shower before you jinx this franchise. Don't make me Mod you.

I don't see the Caps going for someone very high profile. Your team just won a cup, and trading for a Panarin, or Stone could really rock the boat chemistry wise, especially if he displaces someone in the top 6.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a Dzingel.

 

[hockeykicker]

I think your math is off as DSP's remaining salary would also be pro-rated. CapFriendly's figures suggest they could add on ~$1.96M in AAV's today. They could waive Jaskin, trade Burakovsky and/or Bowey to free up more but as-is that's where it's at it seems.

Devante Smith-Pelly - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

so they would be like 50k short

Nice. You've moved quickly to the abuse-of-power stage.

 

[hockeykicker]

so place your imaginary bets now!

Who will it be?

Bonus if you get whole deal right

Some things are too important for rules.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

I bet Devo gets claimed. I am sad.

Production and performance > memories and nostalgia

 

[francaisvolantsparis]

I'd like the Caps PP1 to be like this:

------------Panarin-------------------
----------------------------Kuznetsov
---------------Backstrom-------------
Ovechkin-----------------------------
----------------------Carlson---------

If you look at the actual amount they have free--and not the projected amount--it's $236k before DSP. The $1.1M figure before DSP is "the total sum of cap hit values" they would be projected to be able to add at the trade deadline (rather than today where it's at $957k).

It's confusing but their inclusion of "total sum of cap hit values" suggests the projected AAV they'd be able to fit, enabling us to ignore pro-rated maths and such.

1. Bura and a pick for Mojo
2. Jaskin and Bowey for Clifford
3. Siegs & Little Stevie for Mike Green
4. Holtby and Copley for Varley and Gruby, Avs retain some salary

 

[PB12]

Any chance we can trade Orlov to sweeten a package. I'm dead serious.

 

[txpd]

Or bump Oshie down..

No

Hipster GMBM nabs some guy who has been getting >8 minutes a night on some bottom dweller and we all go "huh... okay"

 

[twabby]

Note that I don't think they will make a big splash.

But if they do I think Stone makes the most sense. Oshie and Wilson, while extremely valuable, are also on both special teams units so if their ES minutes have to drop a bit in order to fit Stone I think that would work. Connolly would likely slide over to 3LW where he has been good before, and in this scenario Burakovsky would almost certainly be gone.

Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Wilson
Vrana-Backstrom-Stone
Connolly-Eller-Oshie

would be an extremely good top 9 unit.

Evidently you've spent the entire day at your local Starbucks.

Im going to miss DSP. Dude took less $ and term to stay here and now we are throwing him away. GMBM has no heart or soul. All business. I admit i like that

Makes him an excellent GM.

GMGM was far too attached to his players.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

From a purely selfish stand point I have a MoJo jersey that's an XL and I've put on some extra lbs this winter so GMBM would really be doing a brother a solid if I could wear that again.

There's the problem, it was MOJO that we always wanted to put on some extra lbs..

 

[Langway]

I thought they could designate him non-roster?

That makes no sense

 

[Empty Goal Net]

eh, mostly just musing. Clifford or Ferland seem plausible, depending on cost. Would like to see Stone as Oshie insurance, but again depends on cost. Also, the jury is out on 77's long-term viability. I think it's only a matter of time before he either can't play at all, or can't play the way he has for us.

 

[txpd]

Don't know Lewis but a proper Beagle replacement makes real sense

 

[DrewGl]

Always liked MOJO but his head injury past is a bit worrisome to me. I fear him and Oshie might be heading to early exits in the league.

 

[Raikkonen]

There is no sense to trade for Mojo that early. Cant be him.
