2021 Trade Deadline and Roster Moves

I doubt they leave any centers exposed. The Caps don't have the means to replace any right now. I think this last year has slowed prospect development, meaning Protas and McMichael aren't ready yet.
Are you sure they have to protect 7+3? I keep reading that and that they just need to protect 10 guys plus a goalie. If it's just 10 guys, I think I use all that on forewards. Seatle can only take one guy, and I think team chemistry wise, a Dman will be easier to deal with, and I wouldn't protect Carlson hoping they are willing to take that contract. But I expect they won't so it'd be a wasted slot.
The Caps have to dump a lot of salary, and soon too. Someone is going to go that we don't want to see leave. They are real close to fire sale territory, and I frikin hate fire sales.

7+3 OR 8 skaters total
+1
So if its 8... it doesn't help us much.
But...they ONLY get one guy so...
Which ONE guy can't you live without?

The one guy you must protect is the face of the franchise, this team has world wide interest with him and reaps the benefits of it. I'd bet money this team loses a ton of fans without OV. Even if it's just him retiring from old age.

I'm not sure why you continue with the I wouldn't protect Carlson or we should dump Carlson for salary reasons. It just isn't going to happen. We all know it.
I really don't understand how it's always about Carlson. The only guy you even mention on the negative side is Carlson.
I really don't think Carlson is going anywhere so let's get a bit realistic about salaries to dump.
I would say Oshie or Kuzy go before Carlson.
I think Ovie Backstrom and Carlson are untouchable and play their entire careers here.
