I cannot agree with you on Kadri, ROR, Marchand, Tuch. Any of those 4 would make the Caps a *much* tougher out in the loffs.

Who in their right mind wants Kadri on his contract? Sure, he'd be great as a rental this year, but picking him up for the next 4 seasons @7M$ is a terrible idea.

First off, he's got three points in his last three games. Second, you're moving the goalpost from points to goals here.

I'll bet you the goals start going in for CMM though. He's been getting better looks lately, and he's just holding his stick a bit too tight. I won't be surprised if he puts up five goals in the next ten games because he's just coming out of his mid season slump.

Oh please do tell….overall production matters. Does me pointing out him scoring 4 goals since Dec bother you? Truth hurts. Goalposts unmoved.

You don’t need to bet me, we’re all hoping he produces.
 
I think Mike's been a valuable player this year for the Caps, especially considering the contract he has. No desire to trade him at this deadline. Although, if he doesn't show any scoring consistency for the remainder of this season + playoffs, I would trade him in the offseason for a quality 3C or top D. For next season, one of Leonard/Miro should get top 6 winger minutes in his stead.

You stopped talking about points when told he's scoring points instead claiming goals are the measure of a slump. That's the definition of moving the goalposts.

But don't let reality hold back your posts.

Production….that includes goals and assists.

Nobody said give McMichael away for free. He is a good player. On a fantastic cap hit. It is going to have to be the right deal for the Caps because we don’t NEED to move him. but he probably has the most value of any player we might trade. As i have said before, you have to give to get. With all the prospects we have I’m willing to give on McMichael. 4 years ago i would not have been willing because we had no pool. Now we do.

As noted CMM has 6 points in last 7 games. Or something like that. So yeah, scoring slump is over. Goal scoring slump still TBD despite goal tonight.

He is a good player. Only replacing him with a legit top 6 borderline top line. Otherwise we keep him. People need to pay for that. But we are willing to deal value for value.

Chychrun price tag dropping by the day.

If you are playing that game price just went up. I still think we go 8 years. Fine with that. I want 8M. Maybe stretch to 8.5M with Cap going up. We need to adjust but we don’t need to get crazy. We have more leverage that Chchyrun.

He's got 8 points in 9 games now, and he's got 2 goals in his last 4 games. Hell, he's inside the top 80 forwards in the league for points and top 60 for goals. He is that borderline first line player you're looking for.
