Speculation: DSP on waivers - Trade incoming? BMAC speculates its with Kings

[justafan22]

A lot of you guys seem to be getting mixed up with prorated cap and full cap.

To simplify things WSH can now add about 1.957M in full cap hits. IE, Dzingel is 1.8M, they can add him.

If they wait for the deadline, they can add 2.1M.

that's without cap going back right?

I'd assume they're waiting for DSP to clear/get claimed and then you deal Jaskin + pick

DSP > Hagelin, Clifford, or Lewis. DSP has a recent history of being a difference maker in the post-season. The latter 3 are marginal regular season upgrades.

That's once DSP clears or is claimed.

Without that, they can add 957k.

957k current cap
+ 1M cap credit for burying DSP
=1.957M

This is FULL cap hits. People get confused because they list both prorated and full amounts on Capfriendly. It's easier to choose one and stick with it.

So they can add (the equivalent of) 1.957M in player cap. Dzingel is 1.8M that's a yes.

Looks to be Hagelin.

Totally thought same thing when I heard this..

Nothing from LA seems interesting for the Caps.

 

[Sam Spade]

Only one of the 3 I know is Hagelin. Hopefully they aren’t trying to add offense if it’s Hagelin.

They don't need offense. Their needs seem to be a PK'er, defensive forward and a face-off guy. Hagelin checks two of those boxes. I would be thrilled if it was Hagelin.

 

[dillyboy93]

Of the three McKenzie mentioned I think I’d prefer Lewis

Hagelin (retained 50%) for picks?

Haglin has been really good for Pittsburgh in the Playoff

 

[peterthegreat12]

As a Caps fan, I don't want any of those players. They don't really move the needle.

Nothing from Washington seems interesting for the Kings.

 

[BallardEra]

LA is the smokescreen. I don’t think trades will come from there.

 

[Caps8112]

Nothing from Washington seems interesting for the Kings.

There is obviously players that arent available the caps would want. Dsp was a big part of last seasons playoffs so losing him for the available kings players doesnt sound interesting

I hope you are correct. I would really like Dzingal if I had to pick reasonable additions, but I wouldn't cry if if was Hagelin.

[peterthegreat12]

Crap, its going to be Lewis. DO NOT WANT.

 

[Lunatik]

Flames 4th line has been their best line for the past 5 games or so. I don't think they would be looking to break that up right now.

They won't continue that play and we can just sit DSP in the meantime and send Lazar back to the AHL

 

[Sword]

To be fair, DSP shows up to every training camp out of shape, but he's a playoff performer.

 

[Caps8112]

Be fine if it was Martinez (spelling).

 

[ovikovy817]

The tweet was talking about Hagelin Cliford or Lewis.

I know in this section of hfboard there are many of unrealistic propositions every day, but I like to stay realistic.
The caps are not getting Soughty or Kopitar, ... so yes. There's nothing left that is interesting

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Dallas put in a claim and waive Nuke

Edmonton will give you a 7th for Nuke

 

[viceroy]

I can see Montreal putting a claim in on DSP.

I threw up a little bit when I read this. Hell NO!

No way Bergevin picks him up BUT I hate people that crap on heart and soul players that loved playing for the Habs. The kid loved Montreal and whatever happens in his career he's got a Cup win in which he played a big part.

I can't believe some Hab fans still crap on Eller too. Washington wouldn't have a Cup sans Lars.

Last I checked those guys all had decent playoff pedigrees no?

 

[NyIander]

Kovalchuk with retained salary and Burkie out?

No ones crapping on him. Frankly, he was no heart & soul player, that’s someone like Gallagher. The point is he did nothing in mtl and bringing him back makes 0 sense.

Eller was a special kind of ordinary during his mtl stint.
