I'd do a straight up trade - Dylan for Smiffy, in a heartbeat.
We lose the salary we gain a Dman. ;)
The biggest names right now are Backes, Martinez and NurseThe only problem is that we need a right handed defenceman more than a lefty.
Of these, Martinez a left handed D with 2yrs at 4mil is the best option for the Caps. The guy would be our best overall D by MILES. He also has two cups and is a proven playoff performer
SCOUTING REPORT
Is a strong, swift and well-balanced skater with two-way ability. Has solid puck-moving and passing skills, as well as defensive acumen. Usually keeps things simple and limits mistakes. Lacks consistency in terms of offensive production at the National Hockey League level. Is not overly physical, despite pretty decent size. Could stand to shoot the puck more. (http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/player/5300)
The issue is, would we be able to offer enough to the Kings (ie Orlov, SeigyChrist), but more so would GMBM do it.
I would do that in a second! Unfortunately, Dylan is the chosen one and will retire in his Caps jersey....
The only problem is that we need a right handed defenceman more than a lefty.Fair enough, but their is something to be said that Nisky and Jensen fell off the proverbial cliff when regularly paired with Orlov. While Johnny Norris has a career year while rarely being paired with him.
Im not sayin shit about Johnny Norris.. At least he racks up points while he sucks on D..
Fair enough, but their is something to be said that Nisky and Jensen fell off the proverbial cliff when regularly paired with Orlov. While Johnny Norris has a career year while rarely being paired with him.Please don't tell me that you are a Jensen supporter.
Given that, it’s reasonable that moving and upgrading Orlov would benefit the entire D
(In all honesty, one of the reasons I want Martinez is we haven’t had a Made In Detroit player since Schmidt, and I’d love to see him and Jensen repin the FatherCity for The Caps 🤣🤣)
Please don't tell me that you are a Jensen supporter.More of a sympathizer. He was solid his whole career, until playing with Orlov.
More of a sympathizer. He was solid his whole career, until playing with Orlov.Sorry but I've seen Jensen play with the Wings. I never saw anything more than mediocrisy from him. His poor play is more noticeable here because our defensive system sucks. Easy to blame his partner but Jensen has definitely been the weak link on that pair. It's one mistake after another. It wouldn't be so bad if he contributed in the offensive zone.
If he was moved away from him and was paired with Kempy, Lewington (Heh I wish), or even SeiggyChrist and was still playing this bad I’d be right there with you. But I most consider the similarities of the last two that were paired with Orlov, had thier worst years.

Why he is accountable for his shitty play this year, the pond hockey system, which includes his “engraved in stone” pairing need to be considered.
You mentioned Lewington. I like him. I like his physical play. I don't think he has the skill and quickness to be a regular NHL defenceman. I also like Connor Hobbs as a right handed dman but I don't think he will crack the NHL. We have a couple of lefties in Fehrevary and Alexeyev that could be solid NHL dmen.
You’re not wrong about Jensen, but his mistakes are way up and his intensity down this year. Why he is accountable for his shitty play this year, the pond hockey system, which includes his “engraved in stone” pairing need to be considered.I'm not sure there is a fix. Our entire d core sucks right now. Carlson and Kempny have been very bad for quite a few games now. Orlov and Jensen have been inconsistent all season. Gudas has been alright but has made some bad mistakes in recent games. Seigenthaler might be our most dependable defender. That's not good.
I remember he was generally solid when he played with Hooks. So it would be interesting to see if he was at least paired with Kempy or now Dillon, if the mistakes would go down, and the intensity would come back.
If he still plays this bad after that, then hell with him.
Seems like a good move. But 1 move doesn't turn a garbage defense into an elite defense overnight. I think coaching is a much bigger problem...

I don't see them moving Orlov unless they really need the cap space of his 5 mil contract.
The rest of steps primarily involve changing the pond hockey system. . . But I doubt that’s gonna happen.
Agreed. It's one step in a multi step process.
Great news!I can almost bet, sans other trades, it will start as, and continue for a while as
Now we have Dillon and Dillan on defense. :snicker:
Putting on my Johnny Carson turban here is my guess at how the new lines finally settle.
6-Kempny -- 74-Carlson
4-Dillon -- 3-Jensen
9-Orlov -- 33-Gudas
34-Siegenthaler Rotating in/out as backup
https://youtu.be/Cd1axsDefq8 (https://youtu.be/Cd1axsDefq8)
Oh and we also gained a littke enforcement., “As the video clearly shows”, he’s an upper tier middleweight like Hathaway:
https://youtu.be/Cd1axsDefq8 (https://youtu.be/Cd1axsDefq8)
This was a a HELLACIOUS old-school, real man scrap!!
No way they trade Orlov. Management is committed to him. I also don't see them benching Ziggy. He has been our best all around defenseman and they have to see that. I also think they are committed to Kempney because he made them look smart for getting him and helping get the Cup. That leaves Jenson who I think will be the odd man out.The issue is Jensen is a RHD. And none of the other LHDs can/will play the right side.
I actually hope they give Fehrvy more time down the stretch. I would start him over Kempney right now, but that's not the Caps style.
Rush - good analysis on Carlson-Kempney!
Best I can tell, Dillen is a stay at home, tougher, DEFENSIVE defenseman.
He’s actually pretty BIG, at least relative to our D men.
Depending on where you get your stats, He is between 6’ 3”, 215 OR 6’ 4”, 225!
He would then be our biggest D man overall.
GMBM has been routinely looking for these stay at home D guys, ever since the Shattenkirk trade BUST!!
An article in the Caps app suggests that Kempny may be moved down to 2nd pairing, giving Dillen a serious look, paired with Carlson.
This looks to me like management prioritizing the defensive demise, especially as it pertains to the Carlson/Kempny #1 pairing!
Let’s remember that when Kempny first arrived, the big news was how he ELEVATED the defensive play on the Carlson, #1 D line, retrieving, and handling, at least 75-80% of pucks entering our zone, to be collected, and sent back up the other way!
This was by design, from management, which took away much of the potential for a Carlson “mistake”, improving our ability to bring the puck up from our zone, AND allowing Carlson to become more involved with improving his offensive skills, which was also SANCTIONED, by management!
The Carlson/Kempny experiment, proved to be a GREAT decision, by GMBM, and he received huge accolades for making the trade, for a number of good reasons, to include winning the CUP!!
THEN....Kempny suffered a MAJOR, debilitating injury!
All the while, Carlson had been receiving “specialized”, offensive training, all through the 2018-2019 season, and we started to see Carlson’s training start to pay off, and even get better, during the 1st half of this 2019-2020 season!
Hell... Carlson led the entire league in points, for defenseman, until getting passed sometime in January 2020!
One problem though....Upon Kempnys return this season, we are seeing that he is not the same Mikal Kempny, that we had seen PRIOR to his injury!
He is noticeably slower, and different! He is surely, a worse player, than he was, and in most all the phases of his game! I can only guess, as I have no proof in reading anything recently, about his physical condition, but it is the most logical of reasons, to assume that it is injury related.
Why the emphasis about Kempnys issues? Well, IMO, it directly relates to John Carlson’s performance on BOTH sides of the ice!
Bare with me here, in that if Kempny is LESS effective, NOW, in his defensive responsibilities, and was shouldering quite a bit more of the defensive load, then, logically, Carlson is exposed to NOW, having to shoulder MORE of the D load, which, by nature, allows Carly LESS time to affect his offensive play!
We have certainly seen Carly’s production numbers tank since early January! Additionally we see Carlson’s poor defensive skills, being highly EXPOSED again, relative to Kempnys shortcomings, and they are many from Kempny, also!! ( just talking about our #1 D pairing, specifically. I’m fully aware our entire D has bad issues right now, so there’s plenty of blame to go around)!!
THIS, I believe, may be what GMBM had in mind with obtaining Brenden Dillen! AND why we just might see how our new recruit fits with Mr. John Carlson!
I sure hope the new guy has some speed. He’s going to need it back there with Johnny Norris as his sidekick!😁
Rush
The issue is Jensen is a RHD. And none of the other LHDs can/will play the right side.
The best case would be move for cap space, get the picks back, and resign Dillon. That is if we could get for Orlov.
Knowing the Caps, IF someone is moved it will be SiggyChrist, then they wont/can’t resign Dillon and Fehry will take over the 3rd LHD and we’ll be worse off next year

Burt was "one of their guys".. He was just the odd man out, playing like crap and they couldn't afford him.. Orlov fits that same bill, imo.. He's WAY overpaid and if they "could" move him, I think they would. He offers jack shit really. He's below avg in the offensive zone and he's not a shut down D.. And he makes like 6.5 million a year. That some expensive hip checks, twice a month.. :clown: :poop:Exactly. He’s closing on 30 and hasn’t developed to a top level D he was signed as, (which is another issue all together)
Dillon is a great pick up. That's who I wanted GMBM to get and glad he did. We had the toughest team in the league before this and now we've added more grit. We'll be a tough team to play in the playoffs as much as you haters don't want to admit it. Try watching other teams. Everyone has weaknesses. For all you Kuznetsov haters out there give your head a shake. We've struggled mightily without him and much as you don't want to admit it. The guy should have won the Conn Smyth when we won the cup. They gave it to Ovie because the league wants their superstars to get the recognition. Same reason Crosby won when Kessel should have.For his cap hit, we could have 2, maybe 3 centers to result in just as many points, and way less mistakes, turnovers, face off losses, as we got for the EA level contract we gave Suzy.

Sure Suzy will help Ovie get 900 more than Bergeroin, Larkin, Kopitar, or Toews might. But on no fuckin planet that has anything more than a 12yo CoEd rec league is Suzy any where near the level of any of them
Suzy is here for Ovies record, not for Cups. If the Caps only wanted Cups, they’d of spent the cap space better
I read on RMNB that the Caps may be interested in bringing Green back. :huh: I'm hoping this is just BS being floated by somebody with no knowledge. Green is EXACTLY the type of guy we do NOT need. He doesn't even have any offensive skills left to speak of. (10 points, -30 +/-) I'd much rather have Jensen and that's saying something. I also don't think Siegenthaler should be scratched for Dillon. I'd sit Jensen, Orlov or Kempny ahead of him.

in the KHL or a coed Rec league maybe. But not in a league that requires strength, brains and intensity. The result being a complete two way player. Kopitar and Toews have multiple Cups and Finals appearances, and are regular Selke nominees and/or winners. Larkin doesn’t play with on a team that has Ovie and “Johnny Norris” to pad his stats, he has willing taken on being a REAL plAyer by exceeding in all aspects and situations.
When he brings his "A" game he's a top 20 player in the league. Are you going to deny he didn't deserved the Conn Smyth when we won? Larkin? Are you kidding me right now? To put him in the same category as the other 3 you mentioned is a joke and shows your bias to Detroit. The only good thing about Detroit right now is their new rink. Also look at kopitar and toews contracts, their contracts are the reason both LA and Chicago are in the bottom half of the league.

The Captain may very well take Jensen and his contract back to help rebuild there D, and it would be a favorable fit for the duration of his contract.
Caps have acquired Ilya Kovakchuk for a third round pick and Montreal is paying half his salary. This could be a huge addition, Caps have been having trouble scoring goals lately and Ilya could be a huge addition to the third line replacing Panik. BMac is amazing, best GM in the league.Very interesting, he needs to elevate his game, it didn't happen in LA and Montreal. But Hegalin wasn't shining with LA either. Ohh well, we'll see. I think Trotz was better with brining and developing players.
So another draft pick for a rental? I just don't see this group as contenders, regardless who they empty the wallet on.
I absolutely ABHOR this move.
(1) Where is Kovalchuk going to play? People seem to think on the 3rd line, but do you really want that? Hagelin/Eller/Panik has far from set the world on fire offensively, but they have turned into a solid shutdown line that you can use in the playoffs against elite opposing lines, which helps with matchups, especially on the road. Besides, Kovalchuk is listed as a LW and the player he'd seemingly be replacing, Panik, has been on the right side. Does Kovalchuk play both wings? Heck, maybe he'd be better replacing Leipsic on the 4th line.
(2) I realize people don't make much of +/-, but I think it's a stat that stabilizes only over a very long period of time. Kovalchuk has been a negative +/- player for 14 of his 15 years in the league, and is a career minus almost 150. Some of that may be the teams he has played on, but he certainly doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me as a player who brings a high ratio of benefit to risk.
(3) This has the feel of the offensive equivalent of the Shattenkirk acquisition -- a misfit, almost subtraction by addition. This almost seems like a desperation move, hoping maybe Kovalchuk goes on a hot streak and makes the Caps offense overpowering. Or maybe it's a move to add another Russian teammate, to motivate Kuznetsov perhaps?
Oh it's true.. But ya gotta look at X & O's. NHL goes on beyond this season and we're getting old and thin fast. I don't know much about him. Heard he's lazy? :raised-eyebrow:

All i can say is that Kovalchuk is the second talented player in Russian hockey’s generation after Ovi!
Moreover, he is still in phenomenal shape for his age and hungry for winning a Stanley Cup, he could easily have right now 600 goals in NHL if he didn’t go to KHL..
Lastly, a friend of mine from Montreal was also skeptical about Kovi once they acquired him, but after a while he was absolutely love him!
Therefore, I think Kovi will be great addition to our offensive line and will hugely boost morale to our Russian team players ! ;)
I hope Kovalchuk has the impact you say, but if playing with the best goal scorer in the history of the NHL as your Captain isn't motivation/morale boosting enough, I don't think adding Kovy will help lol.
Wow, a bit surprised at this. Bit of a risk, but could pay off. Sucks to give up draft picks for a rental, but has to be done if you want to improve your team and you have no cap space.
Curious as to where he'll play.
I don't see him on the third line...WTF good would that do? I mean Eller and Hags have both picked it up lately, but I see them more of a shut down type line than a scoring line and that AINT Kovi.
I think Eller is actually having a good year. He does so much for this team and people on these boards mostly don't like him. He handles pretty much the same load as Backy, just not as talented. And, I'll admit he takes some dumb stick penalties on occasion. I think he has more than outplayed his salary though. He hustles, he forechecks, he mucks, and on occasion makes some decent O moves.
Hags I think is our best PK guy and we sorely needed that this year. Panik has been the weak link on that line, but I am not as frustrating with that line as most, as I believe I have a realistic expectation about what that line is.
Maybe they put the Russian Trio together - Kuzy/Ovi/Kovi. M-A-Y-B-E that line would actually score more goals than it allowed, but that would be pretty scary to watch (defensively speaking)
Move Willy to line 2 and put Vranna on the third line and Panik to the fourth and sit Leipsic? Kind of a waste of race horse Vranna.
Pretty sure I'd rather keep Willy on Ovi's line - especially with Kuzy at C. Someone has to be responsible on that line.
Or maybe move Backy up to 1c with Willy and Ovi and use Kuzy/Kovy/Oshie
Or Backy/Ovi/Oshie and Willy/Kuzy/Kovi
Curious to see how they manage it. I know Kovi is older, but probably a waste of talent anywhere not on the top two lines.
Go Caps
I would say better to have a headache how to put together all these folks in one line rather than nothing;)
A real shocker coming from a guy named Pavel :snicker:

ON the surface, I hate it. Slow guy that I think the Habs signed for nothing, now they get a third round pick from us? We looked at him before he signed with Montreal, so now we blow a third rounder when we could have had him for free? Now, he works out and get's Ovie and Kuzy fired up again....
Also, Tampa outsmarted us on Bogosian. He's a right hanged Dman we could have used and wouldn't have had to sacrifice a draft pick.
Finally, I hate using these draft picks. We are an aging team that needs youth and speed and we are headed for some lousy years if we can't bring up prospects. I know, I know, the window is closing, but I'm not willing to go through a 4 to 5 year rebuild.
Vrana late 1st rd as well.
I've changed my mind. Look at the picture of Kovulchuk and his wife! :clap:

Case closed. Best trade we ever made!
:uh-huh: :uh-huh: :uh-huh: :uh-huh:
Apparently the Caps moved Djoos to the Ducks. Don't know for what -- probably some kind of mid - low draft pick. I'd guess a 5th or 6th, if I were going to take a stab at it.
OOPS - not a draft pick. RW Daniel Sprong. Looks like a depth for depth trade.
FWIW, Sprong was a 2nd round draft pick of the Pens in 2015. Hasn't panned out.
Djoos appears to be an AHL move, at this point...
https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2020/02/24/caps-trade-christian-djoos-to-anaheim-ducks-san-diego-gulls/ (https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2020/02/24/caps-trade-christian-djoos-to-anaheim-ducks-san-diego-gulls/)
I’m not sold on the Kovi move. The only thing I can see is depth for an injury.
Montreal retained 50% of his salary, we saved there and probably couldn't have got Dillon paying the whole amount. He played well in montreal which is good to see.
Draft picks are the price you pay to get guys. We didn't give up a first. We've had a history of good drafting. Didn't give up a 1st round pick. I'd like to know any other team that's drafted as well as we have in the 1st round the past 10 years, usually a late pick and we still get a great player. Wilson 14th, Forsberg 11th, kuznetsov 25th, Carlson mid 20's, johannson mid 20's, samsonov mid 20's. Don't worry too much about us having limited picks. We've got McMicheal coming who will be good. I've seen him play in London 3 times this year.
Ya know, Oshie to the third line is something I hadn’t considered. He has shown good chemistry with Eller and that may give you another potential scoring line without sacrificing any defense.
You’d definitely lose some defense on the second line, but would hopeful Backstrom can keep that line stable.
I doubt Panik gets bumped from the lineup. My guess would be Leipsic gets bumped out.
I tend to agree with you Capman, about the deal for Kovi.
Mainly, as mentioned, a combo of reasons, including the lower risk vs. reward, and although not a big production guy, he’s not a gamble, either, to simply check as an insert for Panik. I mean, why not?
The major portion of energy/chemistry, on that third line, is basically between Eller and Hagelin! Their combined efforts, have been truly causing and creating A LOT of both obvious, and not so obvious, POSITIVES, over ALL 200 feet of the ice, for our team! Their duo is one of the few positive things to have been able to talk about since Christmas, actually!!
Panik, had a very small offensive flash at mid-season, but in my opinion, only APPEARS more defensively responsible, than he really is, as a result of playing alongside Eller and Hags! Not that he’s a defensive slouch, as a forward either, just that he’s kind of been invisible/vanilla, and I don’t think you’re gonna upset much of anything between Eller and Hags, as they’re a very well oiled machine right now, in their own right!
So why not try Kovi on the third line, for a bit? I don’t think you want to mess with the fourth line chemistry, and I think Rierden is too chickenshit to move anybody on the first and second lines!
Somebody mentioned Oshie on the third line, for Panik! I actually do like the idea of that, and wouldn’t see it at all as a demotion! But it’s anybody’s guess there!
And for what it’s worth, I don’t think this trade compares, in any way, to the Shattenkirk debacle. One main difference is that we WERE NOT having the defensive issues, at the time, like we do now. Secondly I think that GMBM learned a hard lesson about simply signing a big name, just because it’s out there!
Additionally, what fantastic team chemistry, right now, would be at risk of being upset?? I would say, what freaking chemistry!!😂🤣
Rush
I doubt Panik gets bumped from the lineup. My guess would be Leipsic gets bumped out.
And since Kovalchuk is naturally a lw I think he will play on the 3rd line with Eller and Panik and Hagelin gets bumped to the 4th line.
In theory, I would agree with you Alta, but I think as a practical matter, that ain't gonna happen. You don't get someone like him to sit on the bench, especially not with the Russian connection on this team. Kovalchuk is going to be inserted somewhere on a consistent basis and someone is going to the bench. But you and I and others as well struggle to envision where he might fit and what might happen to lines and their purpose once he is inserted (e.g., if he is on the 3rd line the shutdown nature of Hagelin/Eller/Panik is gone; if he is in the top 6, who moves down and where do they move to?)
What do you think of this move? Insert Kovalchuk onto the #2 line with Backstrom and Vrana, and bump Oshie down to the #3 line, which may give it scoring punch, and Oshie is still defensibly responsible so maybe it can keep its shutdown nature.
The one argument I can see for the Kovalchuk acquisition is that the forwards haven't been playing all that well recently, either as lines or in tandem with the defense, so maybe Kovalchuk is an acquisition designed to relight the fire -- a motivational spark, even though we struggle to see how it plays out tactically.
was listening to Joe B on 106.7 this afternoon, he thinks Djoos asked to be moved because of how far down the depth chart he's fallen with the Caps, maybe looking for a better chance elsewhere
Knock knock. ;D

yea, but like they said said, what player would agree to that? Then what if the team actually wins the Cup? Does that player get his name on it?
Hell, by this standard half the members of this board should get canned (ahem...Mix, DC, Rich...etc, etc.) :raspberry:(https://washingtoncapitalsfanforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F%5Burl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fgifs.com%2Fgif%2FKjOYAZ%5Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fj.gifs.com%2FKjOYAZ.gif%5B%2Furl%5D&hash=5f2b227996477699e57ceaa38c04f540248e6c6f)(https://j.gifs.com/KjOYAZ.gif)
He also called his linemates, Dowd and Hathaway, “losers”. The Caps did the right thing in getting rid of him. It would have been a big distraction if he were still on the team when and if the season resumes. Furthermore, it is no big loss as Kovalchuck basically replaced him in the lineup.
I wonder if he’ll drop the gloves against Hathaway next year & see who the “loser” will be.
Ahhh. I agree then. I heard there had comments about teammates but those were not shown in the post
Fuckin-A then can his ass. That’s the type of teammate you don’t need. Especially as you said who needs him

For rhe record, I LIKE "Halfway" He reminds me a bit of "Gramps". He has that.. little Shetland pony that never got neutered thing about him..... The stallion that doen't know he's small. That little Jack Russell terruer thing about him.
Why is this riting so small???? :huh:
But then someone (Alta?) said Leipsic also called Hathaway and Dowd "Losers".
that aint so good for team unity. Idiotic.
:snicker: Soaitebody having some tech issues?
What is the" just smokes" thing mean? Not familiar with that term.I don’t know. I wondered too. I have never heard the term.
How many players are protected? 10, 11? Dillon is a free agent, Gudos is a free agent. Both gone. They are going to protect Carlson, you're crazy if you think they won't. On D they'll protect Carlson, Orlov, siegenthaler and Alexeyev if they have to protect him (not sure on service time), if not they'll protect kempny or Lewington. I'd leave Oshie unprotected, he's got 1 maybe 2 good years left and is kinda injury prone, is signed long term and that contract will kill us in 2-3 years. They'll protect backstrom, ovie, vrana, Wilson, Kuzy and Eller up front.
