Proposal: Schmaltz for Fehervary (just a framework)

[rt]

Just as a framework for a trade idea. Does Schmaltz for Fehervary make sense? Assuming this or that smaller asset can be added on either side to balance the value and fit.

it would make sense for Caps, top6 winger is a need. And Fehervary is fine, but this value is on the high side. Which suggests Yotes wont do it.

So problem is Caps need to add, and they are not in a position to add futures if Fehervary is already on the outs.

Adding Milano propably doesnt get it done.

If I was Arizona I would do this in a heartbeat. As a framework? Maybe this works with other pieces added.

However, Fehervary has been probably the Caps most solid defensive presence this season. He's locked up for the same term as Schmaltz (3 years), but MF comes in at $2.675m per year and will still be an RFA at the end of his deal. Schmaltz comes in at $5.85m.

Would Schmaltz be versatile to play C? Or would he be at RW? RW would be a good fit as Oshie is becoming more cooked.

From what I've read/remember/seen, yes he can play center and RW.

Open to being corrected.

Fehervary is younger and cheaper, and would be a welcome fit on plenty of clubs around the league. I think if Washington is selling him they'd have a lot to look at.

It's not a bad trade idea. Schmaltz has looked off to me, maybe dinged, so I'm wondering if that would hold things up. The Caps are already full of older dinged up players.

I suspect the Coyotes would do this and the Caps would not.

big fan of the OP, but if y’all actually think this is just a “framework” , he has you fooled then

As a Caps fan, I don't think I would do it. That said, it's in the right ballpark on fairness and needs.

The needs angle is sort of pointless, as these clubs need a lot of things at virtually every position. I think the Caps should be fixin' to tie up Fehervary for a really long time, myself. If they dealt him for a quality forward, it's not like they'd be doing so from a position of strength on No. 2/3 defense. That's a hole they'd be creating.

Fair. His TOI stats suggest he’s being used as the #4 - is that not the way it is? Or just thinking ahead?

He is dinged up. But Fehervary is week to week. Neither team is making the playoffs.

Schmaltz is a pretty good player. Very similar to Fehervary. I just don't see Schmaltz staying long-term at center. In terms of value D >>> winger. So as a straight 1-for-1 swap, i'd pass.

Pretty good proposal, either way.

Not sure Schmaltz would be a center in Washington. I could see that on some teams but not sure about Washington. RW/C combo, right-shot vs LD has a touch of mitigation but advantage to the D for sure.

That's a vary feher trade.

With the current trajectory the Caps are on, I don't think they'd move an under-25 Dman for a 27 y/o winger.

Fair. I do think the caps really need a player that’s very good at the very same things Schmaltz is very good at.

I def agree and I've actually eyed Schmaltz for the Caps the past 2 years. He's underrated IMO
