Well, that’s a good return.

Now get rid of Schultz and Hagelin.

 

[kicksavedave]

Well that is... something.

 

[stanleycaps18]

Cap space.

 

[pman25]

Wow now that’s some Value!

 

[crab]

Good value but I liked what Dillon brought. Was hoping to see them move Schultz instead.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Good return. Sink or swim time for Fehervary, who I'm 99% confident is up to the task.

We just have so much more NHL-ready depth on the left, just made sense.

 

[twabby]

I think they should still move Schultz given their depth on the right side. No way he doesn’t have positive trade value. TVR needs to play.

With only one year left, I agree. Keep moving guys.

 

[Kalopsia]

Wasn't my first choice as a cap dump, but that's a solid return. I feel bad for Dillon though, shipping him off to Winnipeg one year into a four year deal is kind of cruel.

 

[Hivemind]

Not the defenseman I wanted to move for cap reasons, but it’s understandable considering the value here compared to having to potentially pay to move Schultz. Hopefully they can still find a taker on Schultz from a GM who gets hypnotized by his points totals.

As of this second the D is something like
Orlov - Jensen (shutdown)
Fehervary - Carlson (O Zone)
Alexeyev - Schultz/TvR


I could see them adding a cheap LD from the flat cap scraps, similar to what they did with TvR last year. Might need to clear a bit more cap still to do it, depending on Ovie and Sammy.

 

[Langway]

Running the numbers, if the $10M Ovechkin extension is legit, they may not need to absolutely move anyone else. They probably want to get out of Kempny's contract more than anyone else for more flexibility and better use elsewhere. I can definitely see them including that 2nd in '23 to ship him to Arizona.

But if Samsonov agrees to his QO they'd have a good $1.2M left for a back-up. They just wouldn't have room to do anything else beyond league minimum signings.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Hurts on ice IMO, but a decent return in tough times.

 

[hockeykicker]

 

[Cush]

Surprised by the return

 

[SherVaughn30]

Surprised by the return

As are a lot of ppl.

 

[Carlzner]

Would have preferred Schultz but that'll do.

Liked him more than most of this board but he was the logical man out with the cap situation so oh well

 

[pman25]

Seattle really did screw up the draft man

could have had Dillon for free and two 2nds by flipping him. They left a lot on the table, that’s just one example.

 

[hb12xchamps]

I won’t be shocked to see a forward moved next. Too many Hershey guys that can play the 4th line in a pinch

 

[Holtbyisms]

Now take one of those picks and use it to get rid of haglin.

Beck probably sees the NHL this year as long as he's 100.

Would be wishful thinking that forward would be Hagelin.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Possibly. Caps can take their pick on whoever wins the competition out of Malenstyn, AJF, Pinho, Pilon, etc.

 

[Gurglesons]

What a deal for you guys. Getting out of Dillon’s contract is huge.
