Good lord... the summer doldrums really are upon us.
September can't get here fast enough.

I was so thirsty for hockey or football I rewatched the Caps get swept by NYR on NHLN Monday. Lapierre really looked like their best player.

Thank you based Kuzy
Lets go out and get Ehlers. We can't accrue cap space anyway with our LTIR situation so its literally just wasted space if we dont use it right?

I do wonder if they'll try to weaponize that space. They could conceivably go out and get a guy like Ehlers, or maybe they knew this was in the cards and that open space is actually space for Oshie to make a return at some point.

Huh. So 3.9m back. Interesting.
So now they are 10.2m over the Cap. Nick is what — 9.2m? So once he’s LTIR’d, they will be around 1m over the cap.
That’s Bear getting sent down, right? And Oshie staying on active roster

It was tough overcoming Kuzy's on ice events the last 2 years but without him no 802 at home and they'd have had a worse pick in 2023

Gmbm getting out of the game because he's "won" so many trades like this other gm's won't deal with him after this year!

looks like a cross-section view of the top of Kuzy's coffee table.
I'll see myself out.

Glutton for punishment!
He really was Semin 2.0... went to the Canes, then Russia.
Thanks Kuz!
That 20-21 season is suspect. He had 29 points in 41 games.
That 15-16 season was a blast, I thought he'd be a superstar. Such a tease that Kuzy is.

I think this is the most like scenario here. Let Oshie take the rest of the summer to decide his future. No need to spend that $3.9M right now. If Oshie is LTIR'd come camp time, then the have that extra space to make a move at some point in the season.
But.... By my quick math on my spreadsheet. (RIP CapFriendly), leaving Oshie on the Roster, and sending Bear down, would leave them at $33K ABOVE the cap. (also assuming a 22-man roster with Lapierre on it). However, thats marginal, and I think they could work around that some by swapping out Lapierre for someone cheaper for a few games (i.e. Frank)
I was doing round numbers in my head. But you probably nailed it

Not much left to pick from. I would take a flyer on Nylander he’s still pretty young. I always liked circles when he was in DC.
He’s just 26 and surprised he’s not signed

I can’t for the 30 for 30 about his career: “A Couple of Bumps: The Kuznetsov story”
Anyway, just gonna throw this out there.
Cap savings from the Kuzy retention coming off the books: 3.9M
Difference in cap hit between McMichael and Ehlers: 3.9M
A middle 6 center’s probably Winnipeg’s biggest need right now. McMichael looks like he’s gonna be pushed back to wing here where we know he’s not as effective. The pieces here fit together almost too well.

ESPN is doing the best 100 professional athletes since 2000. Ovechkin landed 54th on this absolute joke of a list, which isn’t even finished yet. WNBA players and Skiers ranked ahead of him….

18-19 he started out the year dominant, got concussed at some point early in the season, came back no longer interested in dominating.
