This seems like more speculation than rumor but we can dream right?

I'd rather not trade for another puck moving dman that is questionable is the defensive zone. Am I the only one that thinks OEL is overrated. Everyone praises the guy and call him a top 10 dman. He has never looked special when Ive seen him play. I know playing for a team like the Coyotes makes any player look worse but I just dont care for his game in the defensive zone.

Caps could trade mr. ifthepokecheckdoesntworkimdone carlson for larsson, should fix both problems.


But the Caps can't afford the give away any draft picks, and this is why I think everyone thinks GMBM has done a poor job. Caps have zero assets to trade with, no cap room, no draft picks and no talent in Hershey

I wouldn’t be surprised either, but I doubt it will be for a lack of trying.  When it comes down to it, we just don’t have that many desirable assets. Kuzy, Orlov, Burma, Holts, Oshie all have contracts that will be had to move.  Hooks, Eller, Djoos, Browery or Connolly won’t be enough on their own to get much significant done.  Which leaves Carlson or Willie.  Moving Carlson wouldn’t make much sense unless it was for a better Dman and cap space.

Willie though,  a good GM wouldn’t trade a player like Willie unless he had at least three like him, but we don’t have a good GM



Also, now that Willy has proved why he was a high draft pick he's the last guy this team should trade,


hhhmmmmm, we keep coming to Carlson being the one on the chopping block

   I dont want to rain on your parade but Carlson is a better all round dman than OEL. You really let your personal issues with him cloud your judgement.

You're the only one that thinks he is an all star, yet it's my judgement that is clouded by personal feelings

Caps can trade Bura and Carlson for one good Dman, and not a rental, it need to be a two year deal at a minimum

Here’s a potential deadline list, .  . Guess who the only one we’re like listed under is:


https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-trade-deadline-assets-come-into-focus/c-295884898


Green, an all-star this season, is the most intriguing defenseman available because of his big righthanded shot and his ability to use it on the power play. The 32-year-old would fit best with a team that needs more offense from its back end, particularly from a righty”

Well our back end he’ll ain’t playing D so might as well skate 5 forwards

   I never said he was an all-star. I have said he is our best dman. There really is no denying it because it isn't even close. I also said he is better than OEL and I'm standing by that. I dont hate the guy but he is another puck moving offensive dman that is mediocre defensively. I know the plus/minus stat doesn't mean a lot but he has the worst plus/minus in the league by a wide margin. He has a shot at the single season record. No thanks. Let's get a shut down dman.

I didnt say Carlson was an all-star. I said he was our best dman and there is no denying it. It isn't even close right now. I also said he is better than OEL and I'm standing by that. We dont need another puck moving offensive dman that is mediocre in his own end. I know plus/minus is a deceiving stat but he is -40. Come on. He has a shot at the single season record.

  Keep wishing but I'm sure Carlson is going nowhere.

Agee completely, I just don’t believe the front office doesn’t value him, or logic, more than a splash at the deadline to sell playoff tickets.


Either way, it’s a safe bet Green will be back in a couple weeks.

Phaneuf to the Kings

 Wonder how many calls GMBetaMale made about him. . .

Ok, so it does say that Athanasiou could be included.
