I was waiting to hear us be on him. Hope he settles for under 5 years

 

[Todd Lazarchick]

Ahhh yes the trap has now been planted for the “we tried” GMBM annual excuse.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Who the hell plants traps? Out of seeds? Who is this? A bot? And why the hell am I here in June?

I’m not sure you know how traps work, unless you are referring to a Venus Fly Trap.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Always trying to acquire those ex Penguins.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I’d take him and give him 7 years….what’s the ask…9-10 mil? Why not? What else can we get?


he’d be the guy after Ovi……

 

[twabby]

If they are to overpay a UFA he'd be the guy I'd target. He's a crafty playmaker in front of the net who can score. If he can stay relatively healthy then he may also age relatively gracefully.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Would we do 7 years 9mill if thats the highest bidder?
I have to say stealing him from the pens and canes make it a little sweeter
Via bleacher report

1. Prediction
   Guentzel will be such a good fit with the Hurricanes that they'll spend to keep him long term even if they have to trade restricted free agent Martin Necas to ensure sufficient cap room to keep him. He could receive a seven-year extension with the Hurricanes worth between $8.5 million and $9 million annually.

The news that the MacLellan is interested in a star player is, of course, terrible news to the Caps fans who hate MacLellan for not acquiring star players.

 

[Lindemann]

Signing Jake would drastically change our offense. You offer the most you can for him

Especially if we have space with backstrom on LTIR and potentially Oshie

What is your definition of success this offseason for GMBM. Be specific.

He wants Reinhart and if he doesn’t get his Reinhart he’ll throw a toddler esque temper tantrum

 

[Lindemann]

Delete. Duplicate

Sam is my overall choice. Jake is very nice consolation. There’s no tantrum needed. He does the same thing every offseason and you all fall for it lol.

1. Talk about how they need an injection of youth and scoring
2. Leak to media their “interest” in someone they have no intention of signing to get fans talking
3. Talk post draft how “we tried but nothing came together”
4. Sign/trade for a washed up 3rd pair d-man
5. Media session saying you’re still looking for scoring
6. Sign/trade for injured/reclamation project middle 6 forward
7. Media talk again still looking for scoring
8. End up doing nothing of significance for the roster.

I agree. Unlike Marner, he only costs money. I would trade a fourth to negotiate as well.

Please name the names of star players that were leaked to the media every year by Washington management since BMac was GM. I’ll wait.

They haven’t been linked to a single player yet this offseason and I wouldn’t trust Seravali either. He’s usually only solid for Toronto leaks.

This poster seems to be mashing up crap from the McPhee era with recent struggles in dealing with cap space/dead weight.

Yes! He who wins the sweepstakes is he who gives 7 years. And I’d be willing to give a 5th or 6th which is probably enough. Maybe a 4th. Of course with a contract in place before it happens.

I think GMBM has several options he wants to go aggressively after on day 1 (or consummated before). He has an order. I don’t know what it is. I think there is a deal on day 1.
