Trade deadline 2024: March 8
Beaglefan2:
Yep - give away Pac - they should have managed his game count to avoid the bonus. I actually don't think there will be any demand for him. If he had played really well, I was hoping to get a 3rd round pick.
Now that they smoked the Pens, maybe they back off trading Dowd. I have always liked Dowd, but I think Malynstyn is the perfect replacement for him so if we could get at least a 2nd rounder for him, I would go for that.
The big mystery will be what do we do on goalies. Charlie played great last night and you know they would like to keep him as the starter and mentor to one of the young goalies next year and blow Keumper out with his big salary. They would probably have to retain more of his salary than they would want though.
Mickstix:
If they can't move Patches, I hope he becomes a healthy scratch. He does nothing for them going forward other than possibly a mentor.

Hearing Kuzy to Canes?
Beaglefan2:
Say Waaaahut? That is interesting. It's going to be hard to deal with whatever they do with him. They will have to retain a bunch of salary and probably won't get much in return - then Kuzy will go play like a maniac and look great for a while.
Beaglefan2:
Kuzy gone! To Carolina for a 2025 3rd round pick and Caps keep half his salary. Sad ending for one of the most talented players that the Caps have had. I have always thought that the Caps coaching did a dis-service to him. When he came over, he was so enamored with Ovi that he decided to try and be a playmaker instead of a pure scorer. They should have sat him down and told him to score goals! Every time he passed when he should have shot, they should have really clamped down on him. I think he easily could have been a 40+ goal scorer. Caps coaching really blew it.
