Why would have they ? Over the cap or something ?

 

[BigFatCat999]

No, Nashville is about 8 million over.

You already got Forsberg, leave us alone. Or give us Jarnkrok to make up for it.

Actually, I was thinking of giving you guy 4th liners for a low pick. Also the other half of the Beck/Latta trade up. but This was more curiosity that. 'HEY! I want something!' If anything, you have a Marcus guy we'd be interested in but Nashville has too many forwards.

...what?
And another

I'm talking post Trotz. You would think he would want some of his boys

 

[Halpysback*]

They didn't sign Legwand which was an absolute no brainer

I agree most of the hockey media was expectant of that. I'm shocked Wash hasn't called about Gaustad.

We probably haven't made a trade because we have too many guys as is. We have too much quantity and not enough quality. Probably the only trades we're looking at making are a 3-guys-for-1-guy type of deal.

How many Rangers-Canucks trades did we see last year after they swapped coaches?

That's not something that happens frequently. Not to mention it's only been a few months and the Capitals are near the salary cap.

I don't think you see a lot of players following coaches right away. It tends to happen later in free agency or with trades down the road a bit. And probabl not as often as you might expect.

Johansson for Jarnkrok

Nashville gets a more finesse fast skating C/W hybrid, we get a more dependable C who could let Kuz slide on the wing

Stalberg-Johansson-Smith could be much more than the sum of its parts.

Because Nashville nixed the Weber for Laich+Erskine+2nd trade obviously.

Trotz has his boy already. Ward and Hillen. and as FLACAP says, nobody wants any Caps players. Caps don't have any quality players to trade. Just junk

Hillen was a press box filler in Nashville...

 

[Devil Dancer]

Hillen was a press box filler in Nashville...

And he' an IR filler here.

what does that have to do with anything?

 

[RandyHolt]

No Opie I am not surprised there have been no trades.

The season hasn't even started yet.

Hillen has never been one of "Trotz's boys." Not everyone who played for him in Nashville qualifies.
