didnt think we had to mention that it was the third round considering the trade was for a 3rd rounder. but my bad for not clarifying

yeah not sure I really understand why its worded like that, without mentioning the third round at all. just throwing out "31st pick" kinda made me think he was talking about the end of the first round? which like confused me a bit?

If this is sarcastic, they tried that and failed last year with Shattenkirk. Don't think they will be doing that two years in a row

Because it was a conditional pick, i thought you were suggesting that if the caps won the cup, the pick would become a 1st rounder.

ah i see the confusion. no, the condition is on the third rounder. if caps finish ahead of toronto then its the caps pick. if toronto finishes ahead of the caps then its torontos pick. thats the condition

I still think the Caps will be acquiring a depth forward. Grabner would make sense, given the speed he brings and the complete lack of speed this team has.

From what I’ve read if the Caps won the Cup, they’d get Toronto’s third. Higher of the two seconds means higher in the order, not higher number I believe.

LOLCan I interest you in Tommy Wingles or Lance Bouma perhaps?
I loved Wingels game in San Jose but it seems to have gone down hill.
A third round pick for a guy with pretty consistently fantastic possession numbers. I don't know his usage, but to me he could be the most sheltered guy in the league, and a third round pick is a fine price to pay to see if he can do it in average to tougher minutes.

Wingels has actually been pretty solid this year. I think he's a good depth forward. I think they'll get a 5th or so for him. I don't know why anyone would want Bouma, but it's the NHL, so someone might.

I think it will end up being a sellers market for D and a buyers market for forwards. I prefer this to a 2nd and Lucas Johansen for Green. Maybe the Caps trade the other 3rd for for Vanek, then they’re good.
If you want a Melker Karlsson, Jannik Hansen or Joel Ward, hit the Sharks with anything.
The Caps could trade for prime Gretzky and they wouldn't win a Cup, so your sarcasm really is misplaced.

I'm with you. Unless it is for OEL, I just don't see the point in wasting assets on any of the D that is rumored to be available (even McDonogh).
Because you gotta have veteraney veteraness from guys like scuderi and Mike Rosival

is this a trade any insider was giving us in their columns or blogs or podcasts? I love insiders for their entertainment value... but how many times do any trades actually get leaked?
