McKenzie: Potential pending trade between WSH and LAK

[deaderhead28]

No Toffoli,looks as if its Haglin or Lewis from this response.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kovalchuk for Ovechkin. Even trade.

 

[peterthegreat12]

For some reason I think the Caps are going to acquire multiple players. I think Burakovsky and Bowey get moved.

 

[Kingsfan1]

So looking like Hagelin for Jaskin.... Is Jaskin fast ? What’s the deal with him

 

[BondraTime]

before dsp on waivers:
Washington Capitals - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

DEADLINE CAP SPACE

: $1,101,060

Tyler Toffoli - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Toffoli:
Remaining Daily Cap Hit

: $1,137,634

Carl Hagelin - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Hagelin:
Remaining Daily Cap Hit

: $989,247

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

See Caps fans, I told you Hagelin would be a perfect fit back in January
LeBrun: - Capitals looking to improve their 3rd line

 

[KopitarFAN]

Oh look, more crap to take ice time from young guys.

Friedman mentioned a potential Hagelin-Jaskin swap.

Friedman mentioned a potential Hagelin-Jaskin swap.

Where?

 

[orby]

Hagelin could be a good depth pickup, although he's not what he used to be a few years ago.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Where?

Must have been on TV, here is what was posted on the Kings board:

According to Friedman on Sportsnet he said it maybe sounds possibly that Hagelin is going to the Caps and Jaskin to the Kings. Thoughts?
To me this doesn't really make sense.

 

[Brucelenok]

My gut feeling tells me it is Kovalchuk. Few reasons:
1. Reirden knows him personally and played with him in Atlanta
2. Kovy is perfect 2nd/3rd line winger and improves Caps PP2 dramatically
3. Russians in Washington are being valued very high

 

[Sol]

Where?

He's speculating. Nothing rumored.

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Where?

On TSN on the Tim and Sid show, Friedman came on and was talking about the Coyle to Boston trade and mentioned that it sounds possible that Hagelin is going g to the Caps and Jaskin to the Kings.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Friedman mentioned a potential Hagelin-Jaskin swap.

That would be a nice add for LA, adds youth, and speed, and his a RFA next year not in line for a huge raise

 

[LAKings88]

Must have been on TV, here is what was posted on the Kings board:

If Jaskin was about to be waived, why is LA now trading for him?

The Jaskin thing makes no sense. Maybe I just don’t like it.

Seems like LA has better options coming up next year. Don’t need Jaskin taking up space. Guess they can let him walk if needed.

 

[LAKings88]

WD will have him on the Reign in no time.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm not really sure what Hagelin would do for Washington. He's fast and defensively responsible, but he has literally no offensive talent anymore. For a team that has lost in the playoffs in the past due to not having depth scoring, I'm really not sure why they would want to target Hagelin. I would rather have Jaskin than Hagelin at this point.

 

[KopitarFAN]

It's nothing against him, more that there are young guys who could use the spot, whether it's Grundstrom, Luff or Rempal.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Am I missing something? Why waive DSP if a roster player goes the other way? Caps have limited space. Kings don’t need a Burakovsky at what it will cost to retain him. Kings need to shed excess for Luff, Grundstrom, and Amadio.

Hagelin doesn’t hold the value he once had. Hoping for a 3rd. Be pleasantly surprised if it’s a 2cd.

That's what I'm saying. Look at what he's been traded for in his career. Pearson when he had 0 goals in 17 games, and a couple years left on the contract. Perron when he had 4 goals in 43 games. Etem when he was coming off a 5 goal season, and had to throw an extra 6th in the deal. A lot of underperforming talent. Historically, from the trades that have been completed, Hagelin doesn't have a ton of value, and he's only older now. The potential of a 3rd might be too high of a return. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[peterthegreat12]

I’ll throw one more wrinkle in to think about. Caps had also been scouring the Reign...so, this could be for more than a one for one deal.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

If it’s Hags I might get sick

Honestly as a Pens fan I’ll be sick. While the dude will not light up the score board he is a monster on forecheck and backcheck and is damn good on the PK I don’t want that on a metro rival.

This is intriguing, got to think burakovsky would have to be going to kings then.

As a Caps fan I’ll be sick if it is any of the three mentioned.
