I'm not so sure about this. More teams are in the mix of winning the SC than the past due to parity. I mean if Gaustad can go for a first, anyone can. This should be an interesting TDL for the league. In my honest opinion, this will be a goalie market this year.
I’m prepared for the cost of everything to go up. It never goes the other way.
I'd do CMM to Boston as a replacement if the price was right but i guess Boston doesn't have the best prospect pool.

Boston also doesn't have any of its first 3 round picks in the 2024 draft. The Capitals already have Boston's 2024 3rd and 2025 2nd.
I'm not opposed to shopping CMM for the right return, but Boston would be a difficult place to find that proper return.

Canes have fixed their goaltending (to a degree) but the Devils remain the team to target in the East as for goalie market.
They are 5 points out of a WC spot already after losing to another bubble team (Flames). Vitek .862 SV%.
Jack Hughes is back and that team even without Dougie Hamilton is still pretty good on paper... keep dangling that Lindgren <> Vanecek + 1st round pick -offer to their face and i think they will cave eventually. If not that then i'd target Kuemper <> Vanecek + pick -swap, if they prefer that. Either way, that would be a really good landing spot for either of our goalies and the Devils should be getting really desperate right about now. Their Playoff hopes are fading and they are only getting quality starts from their goalies in ~40% of the games. Really bad starts in ~30% of their games. It's really tough to win that way.
With them it's not even only about saving this season... they already know that Schmid likely can't be trusted for next season so they need to get a goalie somewhere. That's tough when you have Vanecek on the books for next season too.

I've thought the same about the Devils. CapFriendly is showing them to have about 7.4 in cap space. The likes of Kuemper and John Carlson would make sense for them. If not mistaken Carlson growing up in New Jersey, I believe the Devils was the team he had rooted for. Capitals would have to eat a bit of their contracts but it makes sense for the Devils. Carlson fills in for Hamilton and Kuemper gives them a solid goalie. The return costs would be at minimum two first and Chase Stillman because of the amount of contract we'd eat at our end to make it work for them.Canes have fixed their goaltending (to a degree) but the Devils remain the team to target in the East as for goalie market.

that's incredible, love it.
Feels like the refs should be doing the Anchorman thing where they can't even be mad, just impressed, because that's smooooooooth and funny as hell
for a moment I thought Leonard was at it again

The best part is going to the bench to give his teammates a high five and then immediately turning 90 degrees to go to the penalty box. No arguing with the ref, no protest, no throwing his arms up or making the “what did I do” pose… just acceptance.
Crazy the other team didn’t do anything. Good self discipline on their part, I would not have handled it with as much maturity
