2021 Trade Deadline and Roster Moves
Mickstix:
Makes sense! As long as the Kraken dont take him, then offer more then the Caps can afford? Isn't there rules against such things, where 1 team negotiates in good faith, but then the player signs a hometown deal for much less? Maybe that's another sport Im thinking of?

Fuckin Vrana scored 4 last night

Sounds great and okay, but...the problem isn't Ovie...the problem is if Krakken take a cheap guy that we actually want to keep.
Say for example you leave SHulz, DIllon, Oshie, & Orlov exposed, but Krakken already have other pics and plans and then just take....Dowd or similar.
You are stuck with Orlove & Oshie contracts that you can't afford plus then have to resign Ovie & Sammy.
We are 4 mil over the cap now. Add 1.5 more for Ovie and 1.5 more for Sammy and we are 7 over the Cap for next season (minus the $750k for Dowd) but then we are in the same boat minus a needed player at a peanuts salary.
OR it's Sprong or Sheary or Raffl or Hathaway that is taken...same scenario.
I guess if Lundqvist is not resigned...then that saves 1.5mil. (I would expect we don't resign him.)
Also assuming Chara is gone. Unless he wants to play for peanuts again. What I want to know is WTF didn't we hold onto Seigs? He was a LD. We have plenty of RD (Carlson, Orlov, Shulz, Kempny, TVR) Only DIllon, CHara and Kempny are LD. CHara gone next year - and Kempny being....Kempny....would have been nice to hold onto Seigs.
I am curious as to why we didn't move TVR instead of Seigs.
canadiancapman:
Orlov is an LD.
Alexeyev is an LD and will probably be on the big club next year.
Fehervary has a chance to play as well and is an LD
canadiancapman:
If Oshie is exposed, that may be very tempting to Seattle. He's a hard working veteran that could be their first Captain. Remember they can't just get all cheap guys. They still need to make it to the salary cap floor and they also probably want to be half decent to draw interest in the community. Who better to have on their team than an Olympic American staple
