Huge for the Kings to get out of that PLD deal.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

If that's the entire trade - pretty shrewd of LA to get out from under that awful deal. Although I don't think Kuemper is the answer in net for the Kings.

EDIT:



It is 1-for-1.

Nice work by LA. WTF is Washington doing?

 

[Bgav]

Washington has gone brain dead

Damn this helps out the Kings big time. And they could enter now Guentzel sweepstakes.

 

[Vector]

Capitals have all the capspace in the world and don't give a shit about the future. This is all about getting Ovi the goalz!

 

[Vector]

CCCCCHHHHAAAAAOOOOOOSSSSSS

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Okay, Mikheyev should be moveable

 

[TruGr1t]

PLD's ironclad reputation somehow remains undefeated. The guy literally cannot lose value for some reason.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Absolute robbery by LA.

Just goes to show there are still a bunch f moronic GMs around and FA hasn’t even started yet.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

This just tells me Mikheyev is worth a 1st round draft pick. Lmao.

 

[MS]

Eh, he was traded for the age 34-36 years of a goalie who dropped an .890 last year and lost his starting spot to career journeyman Charlie Lindgren. He was traded for pretty substantial negative value here.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Tweet of the day?

 

[Diversification]

3 years of Darcy Kuemper at 5.25M is pretty ugly. LAK not out of the woods yet.

 

[Vector]

This trade was because the Kings did not want to buyout Dubois and found a sucker trade partner willing to risk it because they just don't care in the Capitals. Both are negative value assets.

 

[Hansen]

Weve gotta be able to dump Mikheyev. Cough up the pick Allvin, and then sign Zad

 

[Vector]

I've had to update my spreadsheet so much today.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Next trade Mikheyev to the Sharks. Alvin starting cooking.

 

[Nuckles]

Allvin better not be getting greedy and asking for a good asset for Mikheyev. Just dump his ass for little-to-nothing if it's possible.

 

[wonton15]

It’s pretty funny that even GMs and teams are saying screw this month long SCF and are breaking the unspoken rule of not making big signings and trades until after. Extending this SCF well until late June is ridiculous.

 

[PavelBure10]

Allvin better not be getting greedy and asking for a good asset for Mikheyev. Just dump his ass for little-to-nothing if it's possible.

Agreed, if you can dump Mikheyev in order to sign one of Joshua or Zadorov then I would be a happy man.

I blame Florida. Should be done by now.

Just like Dhali, proclaiming over 2 million less cap space available than the team has.
Zadorov - 5, Myers - 3, Joshua - 2.2, Guentzel - 9, Blueger 2 and Dillion at 2.5 mil. Super stout defence.

Easy peasy, 21.2 mil, less than 10% over the cap allowed for the summer.
Demko
And still have a chance to get Necas, Demko/Silovs plus Mikheyev or Garland, and/or Mikheyev/Garland for Laine with retention. Carolina really want a goalie. They either let Necas go to arbitration and then trade or sign and trade. I would think if he signs before July 1 then he would be traded. They could also let a team talk to the agent and get a pre-approved contract done, another 8 year deal with a pre-draft trade of his rights. That could make 8 X 8 a very good deal for the Canucks. But Mikheyev and Garland would have to go, well maybe one of them anyway.

Next year Boeser gets traded at some time or he walks and the team picks up 6.6 mil plus the cap increase and the team still has Necas and Guentzel as inhouse replacements. Maybe with Necas taking over most 2nd center duties with Miller on a wing and for FO's.

If Demko goes, and he has been injured jus about every year he should be worth as much as Markstrom.

Those moves improve the forward ranks in size, speed and cap space.

All would make next year the best team possible. Even at the cost of some more draft picks. It puts a lot of faith in Lettermaki, Karlsson, Willander, Hoglander to improve a lot.

Great to see some Canuck news. Isn't the buyout time right around now?

 

[StickShift]

I’m actually shocked that Goodrow, Dubois, and Markstrom-retention has been moved so easily.

I thought the Canucks would need to pay through the nose to unload Mikheyev but now I feel less sure of that.

His injury history does complicate things though.

 

[Donuts]

mik to hawks, sharks or caps

 

[Lindgren]

I've had to update my spreadsheet so much today.

You left out the exclamation mark! You're happy! Two days ago you were bored!
