"UPDATE, 12:15 PM: Despite earlier reports that the Caps would waive Dmitrij Jaskin, the team has placed Devante Smith-Pellyon waivers instead. This story has been updated to reflect the changes. We have reached out to the team for comment. The original story appears below."The Washington Capitals are beginning to prepare their roster ahead of the trade deadline.Forward Devante Smith-Pelly has been placed on waivers.Smith-Pelly has four goals and four assists in 54 games this season. Last summer he signed a one-year contract worth one million dollars.Tuesday, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the Capitals are looking for their Michal Kempny 2.0 and perhaps are taking a look at acquiring former forward Marcus Johansson
richkrt99:
How does this help to "prepare the roster for the trade deadline"? If he clears waivers, does his salary not count against the cap?
Assuming a team picks him up - and we save his whopping $1mil? What you gonna get for that?
Or are we going to dump Burka off somewhere for another $3 mil. (Oh please...pretty please....with sugar on top)

I'm sure there are "capologists" out there who understand this, but if he's on a 1 way contract, doesn't the million dollar AAV still count against the Cap? In this case, is it simply to create a roster spot?
And on RMNB, Rierden said there were "a lot of moving parts" in explaining why it was DSP and not Jaskin. Anyone have any thoughts on what reasoning the Caps have for what clearly seems like a last minute switch? I.e - what's the advantage of having Jaskin instead of DSP on the roster?
Bob Mackenzie on Twitter is saying the DSP move is likely related to a deal with LAK for either Hagelin [AAV $3.5 mil], Trevor Lewis [$2 mil] or Kyle Clifford [$1.6 mil]. Said no trade can be completed until noon tomorrow when DSP clears waivers.
canadiancapman:
Someone may want Jaskin and maybe he'll be involved in a trade. I doubt we pick up Clifford, no real need for him and after how well him and Wilson were getting along Monday night, that'd be odd. I like hagelin's speed. He'd be a good addition if we move Bura out.
I also think you can go a Mil over the salary cap once the trade deadline passes. I think I read that somewhere but could be wrong.
