Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[Bileur]

Lack of assets? You mean Dorion pissing away picks for years has consequences? Could have sworn that we had lots of picks and it didn't matter...least that's what was said. All these things that the new guys have to clean up. Tough job.

No no, everyone who said that was just a negative hater.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

We have 3 right?

4

 

[Burrowsaurus]

To be fair, Forsberg was fine every other year with us, maybe a down year after double knee injury should have been expected.

As for Korpisalo, I don't trust he will bounce back, but he does have 2 or 3 respectable seasons out of 9 in his career, so there's a chance he could have another one...

Anything is possible

 

[SpezDispenser]

Kuemper, no retention.

Also

LOL DUBOIS REALLY THOUGHT HE'D BE SPENDING THE NEXT 8 YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD HAHAHAHAHA


What a clown.

That is the singular worst trade I've seen in....well, probably since last off-season to be honest, but it's f***ING PUTRID for Washington - which is fantastic.

 

[jbeck5]

Fair enough, although I disagree. I’d gladly give up Bos 1st + a 2nd for Markstrom at 4m x 2yrs. He’s a very good goalie and an absolute workhorse.

This team is not competing in the next 2 years.

To trade a 1st and 2nd for a 35+ year old average goalie who will be retired when we compete after blowing so many high picks would be crazy. Like, Melnyk and dorion era crazy.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

There might be a reason as to why Washington made one of the dumbest trades in a long time and acquired one of the worst contracts in the league.

God damn this league is a cesspool

 

[Sensators]

Lol Dubois trade tree so ugly for LAK. He was awful last year but he was good the last year in Winnipeg. Tough call, his contract is so bad.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Is Nashville really gonna keep Saros ( re-signed) and top prospect Askarov ? Feel like they gotta cash in on one of them eventually.

Askarov won't be eligible for arbitration for a few more seasons. That's the real choke point.

They could afford cap wise to run them as a tandem until then, so it really would come down to how they project the value of Askarov as a trade piece and whether they think holding on to him will get them a lot less.

PLD is exactly the type of player that our pro scouting and Pierre Dorion would have went after.

-Big name that doesn't match the production or potential.
-Was good years ago, been average to poor since then. (Our pro scouting is 2-3 years behind on their reports and evaluations)
-Horribly long contract.
-Other team would pay to get rid of him or possibly buy him out.
-Big guy, but plays soft.
-Character issues that's ignored.

 

[Sensators]

I'm really glad we didn't give up futures for markstrom. This team is not good enough for that and markstrom was really shit the year before last.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of people on this forum wanted him too. What a complete bum of a player.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

So that's the price of getting out of the Korpisalo contract, eh? Kuemper has one less year, but higher AAV. He's older than Korpi, but still has a much better track record.

In other words, buying out Korpisalo is the way.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I don't mind the Dubois trade for Washington.

You have to keep in mind where their team is in terms of their build. They are on the last dying gasp of Ovechkin's career and they don't have anything to really transition to.

Look at it this way, this trade is like Washington signing Dubois to a 3 year 3.25M contract because Kuemper was a sunk cost, and after those 3 years Ovechkin will be gone and they will embark on a long rebuild where the Dubois cap won't matter.

It's a win/win trade for both sides. LAK gets out of a big chunk of the Dubois contract and Washington gambles on adding a possible start, where if it doesn't workout, the opportunity cost cap wise is not very high.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Washington paying 15M for Dubois and Wilson for the next 7 years is hilarious.

Team is going to be in no-man's land for a long time.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

LEAGUE EXECS are giving Bruce the trade packages again.

A league executive believes the Senators would likely have to offer defenceman Jakob Chychrun along with a first-round pick and another selection to acquire Ullmark. Even then, he has a modified no-trade clause that has 15 teams on it and it’s not known if Ottawa is on that list.

The reason they were in a position to make the trade is that they don't care about the back half of the Dubois contract since they will be in a full scale rebuild, and Kuemper as a sunk cost made Dubois a cheap add over the next 3 seasons.

Pittsburgh is maybe the only other team that would be in a similar position, but I don't think they have anybody they could have dumped that LAK would have taken.

It's a smart trade on paper. If Dubois is toxic or has some major personality flaws that lead to him being as bad as he has been, maybe it doesn't work out. I don't know. But it is certainly a worthwhile gamble to take for a team in the position the Capitals are in.

How good does Dubois have to be to justify adding 3.25M to the cap over the next 3 seasons? That's not even Korpisalo money!

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

LA would have been better off buying Dubois out

This team is not competing in the next 2 years.

To trade a 1st and 2nd for a 35+ year old average goalie who will be retired when we compete after blowing so many high picks would be crazy. Like, Melnyk and dorion era crazy.

Theoretically youre 100% right. I was speaking more to the value/in a vacuum.

That's a stupid price to pay, unless Korpisalo is going the other way.

That article has to be a plant to help justify if our team fails to acquire a top goalie. Make sure people know just how absurd the prices are so that they are relieved rather than upset when we end up with a Korpisalo/Jack Campbell tandem.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Chychrun AND 25th overall? Yeah f*** off. That's not happening without Korpisalo going the other way.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Korpisalo has to go the other way. He's so bad he'll probably just rub off on Ulmark and turn him to a pumpkin too.

Ullmark better come with an extension!

After that you buyout Korpisalo and play Ullmark a bunch!

Probably be Chychrun, Forsberg and picks for Ullmark.

I think this a good move for Washington.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Yeah that’s a price you pay for Saros with an extension. Not a 30 year old Ullmark playing behind one of the best defensive teams in the league.

 

[BigRig4]

Travis Yost is saying we have a framework in place for a deal with the flyers

I seem to remember them being interested in Joseph last year?
