Not sure they'd have to retain salary to move Kuzy.. 7.8m for a 31 year old #1 / #2 center isn't that expensive in today's market. But yea, we're stuck with Mantha unless we pay someone to take him.

That’s not a lot for a good 1/2 center, but everyone knows Kuzy has bouts with motivational issues

Some guys are really hyping Michkov on the NHL radio channel - saying that without the Russia issue, he would be the clear number 2 pick. Seems like there is a consensus on the top 5 picks and then the next 8 or so guys have varying ratings - so basically picks 6 through 14 could be solid guys with not a lot of difference. Given that, if the Caps don't trade up, I wouldn't mind them trading down a few and picking up another pick.

I still don't think he's a "retain salary" guy. Only has 2 years left on his contract. Plenty of time to find out if he's worth it or not and even playing bad he's an assist machine, if you've got a goal scorer on his line.
Looks like Lil' Ovi is in town for development camp. July 1-5.

Ya - I agree on Kuzy. The more that I think about it, they should get a pretty decent return for him. There is a shortage at center this off-season and Kuzy has crazy talent. If properly coached and motivated, which never happened here, he could be a top 10 player. With our new rookie coach, I don't see that happening with the Caps, but a contender with a tough coach, might really be a good match. If that happens though, its gonna be painful to watch.
