Yeah, it's complicated with Kuzy. I agree that the Caps probably ought to consider trade possibilities with him, I just have a feeling that realistically you'd end up with a ceiling so much lower that it stops making sense.
E.g., you might end up with aging Backstrom and two really good 3Cs (Eller + return on Kuzy). That doesn't really feel like the basis for a contender, either.
Need another GM/team to get desperate in some fashion.

You’d think so, but normally it’s obvious when they’re done with media releases, press conference, etc.
BMac conference right after the deadline tomorrow, interesting timing.

Trust me his +/- would have been better had be been paired with Jeff Schultz.
They can still swing a move for an RD, especially if Jensen is involved.

Great Dane! Love that Eller feller.
That’s with Leipsic still on the roster. Lose his salary and it’s 1.41. So almost 3m if retained.PROJECTED CAP HIT: $81,603,080
PROJECTED LTIR USED: $255,850
PROJECTED CAP SPACE: $152,770
CURRENT CAP SPACE: $676,553
DEADLINE CAP SPACE: $710,381
this is now updated after kovy acquisition
And if they add someone tomorrow, that means another player off the roster (Boyd? Siegs sent down?), so that’s 2.1 or 2.2 or so. Before retention. So they could arguably get a 4.4 ish mil player, IF they wanted to.
and that’s not even considering a Jensen or Panik departure.
I’d like a better 4C than Dowd. Make him the extra skater. Any C up to 4.4m?
Athanasiou?

Calgary reportedly looking to make a hockey deal. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re interested in Jensen or Panik. Their 3rd line is very weak and so is their RD depth right now. I think a Bennett for Panik swap could be interesting although the value may not be there. Bennett would likely fit more comfortably on a 4th line while Panik should be better in a top 9 role based on his past. Other players of interest would be Lindholm and Backlund but that would likely require Kuznetsov going the other way, which I would honestly be fine with but I don’t think most of this board would be. He’s just do damn inconsistent with his effort and at some point his cap hit isn’t worth holding onto just for the hope that he will turn into Cup run Kuzy come April.

Manson if possible would really round out a suite of moves well.
2021 1st, Djoos, and Jensen?

He’s playing right now which may be a sign a trade isn’t anywhere close right now. That obviously could change but we will see. He would be a good pickup.
I see BMac making one more move. 2RD. Make it happen!
1st+Jensen+prospect for a stud on term or Jensen+okay pick/prospect for a rental D.

Happy now?
Can't remember where I read it, but some reporter quoted a nameless NHL exec that said something to the effect of "You don't love your wife as much as the Ducks love Manson."

Was thinking that as well. I would be all over a deal centered around Brodie + Bennett for Panik + Jensen.

Why on Earth would Calgary be remotely interested?

Hamonic would be the more likely get from Calgary. But at their current placement they're not be selling and would have to greatly value Jensen and his contract.
Ristolainen kind of seems like the only option but I'd been operating more under the logic of him being a change of scenery type that wouldn't cost the first rounder. With 50% retention I'm sure he would but with Jensen swapped out it's at least an interesting idea given his age/term/potential value. You'd think BUF would still be able to get something of more immediate value but if they've decided to cash out that may be more appealing than some straight salary dump of a player in a similar bind.

Caps would need to add a bit of their future. Wouldn’t be that alone.
Jensen + 1st and LuJo for Brodie.

I could see them being interested in a Panik for Bennett swap. Panik has been a more reliable offensive threat in his career and is signed for 3 more years at what looked to be a very reasonable rate prior to this year. Bennett hasn’t progressed as expected in Calgary and seems to have plateaued. He is a decent bottom 6 forward but obviously more was expected from him and his production has stagnated. They are rumored to be interested in making hockey trades. This trade wouldn’t hurt their chances this year or in the future as they are weak on the wing after Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Lindholm. Panik has played his best hockey in his career in the western conference. From a Caps perspective, Bennett would be a better fit on line 4 this year and couldn’t be much worse of a fit going forward than Panik has been so far. Bennett also seems like he could use a change of scenery.
