[pspot]

wow, was someone i hoped leafs would sign in the offseason as i assumed WSH would never give him up before playoffs
he'd be a great add for leafs

 

[Fatty McLardy]

someone has to claim him i'd assume, he scored some big goals for the Caps last year in the playoffs.

 

[justafan22]

hm.. Announced by caps staff an hour ago jaskin would be on waivers, then DSP was. Likely a trade?

 

[Artanis]

Not sure of the Caps financials, but would he have to go back in a deal due to salary?

Dzingels cap hit is extremely low.

 

[McVechkin]

Sounds like GMBM is betting he cant replicate last year's playoffs.. as a poster mentioned above, playoff heros happen all the time. Thank him for his service and move on.

 

[clownshoes]

i'd love him back on the ducks. always liked his game.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Maybe they need a spot for Dzingel? I dunno, he's nothing special, so I doubt it's much.

 

[La Bamba]

Oilers will take him.. they will take anyone for their bottom 6

 

[Kamiccolo]

Leafs will be all over this. I expect they will put in a claim, but not sure if he makes it that far. Someone who can play with some heart and jam, proven playoff warrior and a UFA at the end of the year for free? Plus with Toronto's 4th line struggling lately, perfect time to inject more playoff experience into the team.

Maybe a change of scenery and being given a promotion to Matthews line in Toronto wakes him up? I mean, worst case scenario, he flops here and even in the playoffs sucks and just walks. Best case they add a top 9 forward who might be able to turn it up in the playoffs.

I can almost guarantee the Leafs make a claim.

Leafs should offer a late pick in trade if they want him, doubt he makes it far enough to claim him.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

This is a weird one. Can any Caps fans explain this? Was he having a bad year?
He was so good in the playoffs, very annoying to play against.

He's been the worst player on the team by a fair amount. The only thing he's been good at is blocking shots.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He will get claimed. Islanders are one of the teams because of his connection with Trotz, played well last year.

 

[Lunatik]

Dzingels cap hit is extremely low.

Caps only have space to add 1.1m in AAv at the deadline

 

[Kamiccolo]

I doubt he makes it either but I bet Dubas is putting in a claim just in case. Why wouldn't you? Maybe he isn't worth paying for to Dubas but for free it doesn't hurt and adds an element they lack. I bet if he wants to pay, he has other names in mind that bring the same sort of swagger to the team and can perform when it matters.

 

[ToDavid]

The Leafs do not need another fourth line winger...

 

[Artanis]

Good enough for Dzingel

Reporter: Hey man I thought you said Jaskin was going on waivers, it's actually DSP?

Spokesman:

 

[CupInSIX]

So that's who McPhee was looking at

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

What's DSPs contract ?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Hf posters circling like a bunch of sharks waiting for a meaningful trade, constantly refreshing HFs page.

 

[God King Fudge]

 

[BlueDream]

Yep, a trade is coming. Nice.

 

[Agalloch]

We have a trade to announce ?....

 

[justafan22]

uhh
