Speculation: Caps have 9.2 mil to spend as Backstrom returns to perma IR - Nylander?

[ChrisProngersEYE]

Backstrom so long and thanks for all the fish!

So what do ya think? How close were Spencer and Nylander?
Will Caps fans ever allow another Nylander to wear a Caps Jersey? Wait the 1st one never really wore his so....

Oh p.s. I'm starting the rumor

Darnell Nurse at 9.25M float your boat? Scratch that itch?

 

[cyris]

You have nothing to trade to get him. And with the extra year the Leafs can offer it 9.2 won’t be enough to get him as a UFA.

Nurse makes me feel better about Mantha

 

[Breakers]

It feels like Nylander is playing himself into his rights being traded at the end of the year

I just can’t see Toronto going 8 figure AAV
And Nylander is playing himself into that ask

I thought he was low $9 aav at the beginning of the year

 

[canuckslover10]

maybe garland could work for the caps seeing he wouldn't cost much at all and the Canucks wouldn't have to retain

Ovie says, “give me Hubie”.

Unless the player REALLY see's being with a specific coach as important /wink

If that came from Ovie, close the thread case closed then.

It's all for the Ovi goal chase, so get someone who'll feed him the biscuit.

I'd be down to give Garland a chance here. What would Van fans realistically want in return?

Garland is for poor folk.....Caps got money now!

Toronto has Tavares coming off the books in a year. It going to be pretty hard to out bid them.
If he leaves it won’t be over money.

I forgot that Tavares contract was actually going to end some day, so good point. I want to see that man win a Cup so bad,

 

[Brent Burns]

Stop trying to offload your chump change. Get a real distributor to WSH for Ovi

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Maybe Seth Jones to round out their top 4?

 

[Breakers]

Do see Treleving going with a massively top heavy construction again like Dubas did?

I don’t know if he will
Isn’t Marner up for a raise

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Tavares will still be on the books in 24-25. And they will need to sign 2-3 dmen + Liljegren to re-sign. And a goalie to sign. And 3-4 forwards to sign... The money will be very tight to re-sign Nylander.

Just splitting a hair for a seck: this sounds more like 'speculation' than a 'rumor'.

On that note - maybe the Caps want either Hubs or Kadri.

Nothing is fine

 

[Selanne00008]

Just sign Kane. One bad hip for another!

 

[ChrisProngersEYE]

In all honest, I don't know what the Caps could possibly give for Nylander but I'm pretty sure the name Wilson would have to be included, which

I would take Kadri in a heart beat but pretty sure not a single Caps fan would agree...actually on 2nd though I just looked at his contract....good luck there

In my defense I openly admitted to starting the rumor

Good luck with that

Money will be tight. For 1 season. Not really a big deal.

 

[ffh]

Yeah leafs will trade him for prospects and draft picks.

 

[cyris]

Do see Treleving going with a massively top heavy construction again like Dubas did?

I don’t know if he will
Isn’t Marner up for a raise

With any raises to Matthews, Nylander, and Marner they will take up a smaller % of the cap then the previous “core 4” did

Not a big deal?

How can you sign Nylander to a $11-12M contract (which would include 24-25) and do everything else?
