Well, Kuzy has at varying times been an NHL roster player, high draft pick, and top prospect - so Kuzy for PLD should be fine.
How could Lebrun be correct that Caps reached out to CBJ if C-Bus is on Kuzay's no trade list. That does not make sense.
Of course, Lebrun could be wrong. Could be CBJ feeding him bull to up the price.

Adding PLD would be a nightmare for the salary cap. I’d suspect he wants some big money after his 2 year contract ends

You would think that 2 years fit the Caps win now window though. After that 2 years, a lot of contracts will be done for the Caps.

Edit: actually its just Kempny, Schultz, Copley, Vanecek after checking for that year.

0.00% chance of Kuzy ever playing on a Torts coached team, unless Team Russia hires Torts

Man that second year of Schultz could really hurt...

2 things. 1 MacLellan could have asked talked to CBJ about assets other than Kuzy. 2. The way I understand it, those no trade lists are only presented upon request as they could change month to month. When Kuzy signed his current deal CBJ might have sucked and now they might be a contender. Things change

The deadline to submit no trade lists for the 2020-21 season was back in September. (Sept 1 with an update allowed on Sept 15 because of the MOU that was agreed upon with the return to play)

I just recall on numerous occasions nearing the trade deadline reading about players being asked for their list

more likely asking for an additional list of teams they may consider waiving their NTC for....

Yeah plus you have to factor in an Ovechkin and Vrana raise and the cap ramifications from COVID.

That’s a future problem though so if they think it helps in the short term, I’m all for it. Would be a tough sell though to trade those guys in division

[Calicaps]

I am totally here for a trade like this. BMac pulled all the levers to get a great coach and high-end signings on the ice, and some of his core guys just pissed all over it. He should be looking to send a hell of a message, IMO.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Interesting. Winnipeg makes some sense. One or most likely both of Laine and Roslovic probably involved.

 

[Corby78]

Buffalo has to be frustrated. Much more dangerous than the caps and then our fourth line scores

 

[tenken00]

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Uh, yeah. Sign me up for PLD.

I'd say he's in the Eller mold - obviously a better version of it - of puck-possession guys who can cycle down low. Thus, some here may not be happy to bring him on board.

 

[Langway]

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

not sure who we could even offer right now to win the bid. glad we looked it atleast

 

[kicksavedave]

Ya'all wanting PLD, check out this high energy shift. Especially that board work late in the shift.

Makes Kuzy look like Jay Beagle.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I don’t see a package that the Caps could offer that makes sense for them and CBJ. Fun to think about though.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

If Winnipeg is really offering Laine and Roslovic that is a big over-payment and Columbus would be crazy not to take it.

 

[um]

I don’t see a package that the Caps could offer that makes sense for them and CBJ. Fun to think about though.

If I was Columbus I’d ask for Vrana + Eller + 1st.

That or Vrana + Jensen/Hagelin/Panik (for Cap reasons) + 1st + B prospect.

but i doubt Vrana is the best player they can get, so I’m not optimistic.

 

[Ridley Simon]

It would have to be Kuznetsov. They need centers. Badly, when they deal DuBois.

and again, I’d pass on him. Bad attitudes don’t generally ever go away. They certainly subside. But his “give a shit” meter broke the other night. That’s unprofessional and unacceptable.

taints him for me. You don’t want to play for the team? Then hold out. Don’t sign a 5m a year deal and then loaf it. (And that was REALLY loafing it, let’s not compare that effort to any one Caps player..., there’s uninspired and then there is abjectly not trying. Milbury or Cherry must’ve been spinning their heads and breathing fire)

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

why do we want this guy so bad? if Trots hates him and benching we thinks hes gonna be better then Kuz?
