Trades & free agency
BlackIce:
The scuttlebutt regarding the Caps has been trying to shed salary through dumping either Mantha or Kuzy.
No scuttlebutt about acquisitions.
One place I'd like to see the Caps make a move is right defense. IF the Caps are serious about using Rasmus Sandin as a key piece on LD, they need a sturdy, defense-first RD to pair with him. I am assuming Fehervary is going to pair with Carlson most of the time this coming season. I don't think Carlson is a good fit with Sandin, and neither Jensen nor TVR is a strong enough RD to satisfy me with him.
IF we could possibly sign Scott Mayfield on the free agent market, I'd be open to trading one of Jensen/TVR to make room for him, both roster-wise and cap-wise. Mayfield is big, solid and defense-first. Because he doesn't give a lot offensively, his cost might be not too exorbitant (though who knows during free-agent frenzy season.) He isn't ultra-young - he turns 30 during this upcoming season - but on a 4-5 year deal he'd be essentially the same age commitment for the Caps that Jensen and TVR are now. Then pair the remaining one of Jensen/TVR with Alexeyev, and let's go.

Caps acquire defenseman Joel Edmundson. Looks to be a Lefty though..

Sheary signs with the Lightning. :'(
Irwin goes to the Canucks.
waynerivers:
Pacioretty? Really? An aging, injured guy whose been moved around from team to team. Completely useless signing, IMO. They don't seem to get that they are in rebuild mode. Having a bunch of geriatrics out there won't help Ovie a bit, either.
Mickstix:
Agree. I'd of rather kept Sheary for the 2m year.
Eller signs with the Pens.
Connor Brown signs with the Oilers. 4m x1
