The only person I would be okay with letting go on this team is Jenson. Pretty as he is.

When the Caps drafted Siegenthaler he already weighed 220 pounds as an 18 year old (at least, that's what the prospect stats said.) He increased to 230 lbs the next season after which Caps management told him he would have to lose weight and gain mobility to play in the NHL. He came in last year at 206 lbs and his career has been on an upward arc ever since. My betting is that the organization doesn't want to see him gain 10 lbs.
He is NOT getting traded. (1) He's still cheap, and the Caps desperately need all of those types of players they can get. (2) He's already the team leader in PK ice time per game, and the team rank is #2 in the NHL in killing penalties (which is a good thing given all the penalties they take.) (3) He's already logged some time as Carlson's defense partner. If he continues to elevate his game it may well be that in the not too distant future he and Carlson will be the predominant #1 defensive pairing. Unless something unforeseen happens, he is going to be one of the 3 defensemen that the Caps protect in next year's expansion draft.

While you GREATLY exaggerate his strengths, he has for the most part become a decent Dman. While he probably won’t get traded, it would not be because he is the second coming of Jesus Fuckin Harold Christ as you paint him out to be, but it’s due to how GMBetaMale has throughly fucked our salary cap and depth.
SieghyChrist and Feh(I could care less spelling about Eurotrash names), assuredly have the highest trade value for other teams. Without throwing in one or more of GMBetaMales idiotic contracts, moving SieghyChrist for an upgrade while staying under the cap is extremely unlikely.
The only realistic option is trade either for MULTIPLE picks/prospects. SieghyChrist probably won’t get us a 1st and another, but maybe, maybe a 2 and 4 range. Fehwhatever could get us a 3rd and/or a few later rounds.
However, the best trade that would help our D is shipping Orlov and his contract out to Siberia or who ever the hell would give us a 5th for him and his contract
Mickstix:
Why would they trade Sig or Feh for draft picks? They're already young, cheap, promising defensive assets? If they're gonna trade someone for lottery tickets it should be someone who sheds cap space at least. (Yes, most definitely Orlov if they could pull it off)
Surreylily:
Jenson is our weakest link on D I think, but I would rather keep Jenson than risk another Shathispants.
Is there anybody that you guys thnk could/'would be a reasonable upgrrade as a rental .... that we can afford?
Maybe this Fever falla is being groomed to replace someone on our roster to relieve some dosh, but I canT see That as a realistic proposition.
Fever is being touted to sell, surely? ??? ?
Surreylily:
8-0
