If these are the prices then I'm fine with that.
A 3/4 D is gonna cost a fortune. I'd rather just go with Fehrevery or Djoos.
Caps won’t be in this market
Of course you would. You always favor the youth move....but it’s pissing away a legit Cup shot. That is dumb. Period, the end.
I wouldn’t. This is maybe Ovi’s last chance to be a playoff force. All in for me. Within reason.
I thought I read earlier that the Caps aer a long shot now. I admit I am not up on Blake Coleman, but sounds like he is a 3c? McMichael and a 1st for Lars Eller?
Meanwhile Elliot Friedman is getting killed. He said only one guy for sale was worth a 1st.

The guy that fits with Eller is someone like Afinogenov who can dart in and out of scoring positions whilst Eller holds onto the puck. Hagelin cannot finish and Panik is a big guy who cant move like that.
Do you not think Kreider is a perfect fit with Eller?The guy that fits with Eller is someone like Afinogenov who can dart in and out of scoring positions whilst Eller holds onto the puck. Hagelin cannot finish and Panik is a big guy who cant move like that.
I get that piece. Re: Coleman. But we’d all be truly PO’d if we sent Alexeyev and our 1st for Blake Coleman.It was a strange move by the Bolts because I don't think they needed more scoring, but Coleman seems to be valuable on the PK and with even strength scoring. And they are obviously going all in to try and win a Cup right now.
Certainly doesn't hurt to be able to score more goals.
For those saying a guy like Coleman doesn't fit on our team, I disagree. There seems to be a weird mentality among some fans here who believe our top 6 forwards are 'all we'll ever need' for our offence and we can ONLY have bottom 6 "depth" guys.
Coleman on our 3rd line would be a DAMN sight better than Panik or Hagelin. Wow imagine if Eller had a guy who could actually finish playing alongside him??
I don't think the Capitals need to be looking at forwards at all.
I mean if you could somehow manage a Kreider, sure but seems like the D needs the "help" way more.
The Coleman move is bad for us.
Its also good and bad for Tampa. As a team in a win now mode it helps them and hurts us a little. But yes, it hurts them longer term most likely.
