McKenzie: Potential pending trade between WSH and LAK

[Silky mitts]

Caps didnt need to move any cap space to acquire hagelin as they already had that space so i dont think it's him

Need a roster spot

Internal cap?

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Kovalchuk with retained salary could do some serious damage with the Caps. Imagine Ovi and Kovy on the same powerplay unit, dangerous. Would be great to see them play together.

They play the same spot on the PP though..

 

[deaderhead28]

Tiffoli?

Really doubt this.Its been report Kings want to hold onto Toffoli and it be about a 20% chance he be moved.Toffolis trade value is low right now.

 

[deaderhead28]

the mayor also said the kings where a playoff team before the season started.

On paper they were.Cup Team? No

 

[NyIander]

They play the same spot on the PP though..

Not always. I've seen Kovalchuk play the John Carlson role on the point before.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Martinez + Toffoli + mid pick

Burakovsky + Bowey + 2019 1st + B prospect

 

[Joel Ward]

Not always. I've seen Kovalchuk play the John Carlson role on the point before.

Yeah but they're not going to run a 5 forward PP unit...

Not always. I've seen Kovalchuk play the John Carlson role on the point before.

Buuuut... isn't John Carlson doing pretty well in the John Carlson role on the point?

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

We'll have to respectfully disagree,John Hoven has been mostly right the last two years.Its not John Hovens fault that the organization tells him one thing and changes their mind after he reports.

He throws out random, obvious ideas that have happened to be right lately because they're well, obvious. I've seen the exact same predictions from Kings fans posting on here and the other blogs. His connection is probably someone way down the ladder. I'll give him props when he's right, I have no problem with that, I just don't trust most of what he's saying. He has been writing very good opinionated pieces though lately on the state of the Kings, I'll give him that.

 

[NyIander]

Yeah but they're not going to run a 5 forward PP unit...

I don't see why they couldn't try it... Either way it would be electric seeing them on the same team.

 

[Clayonator]

Hags for shizzle

 

[NyIander]

Not really actually, seeing as it is the easiest job in the league I've seen Caps fans complaining about his role on the PP this year.

 

[MAHJ71]

To be fair, many.. many folks had too much Kovi koolaid before the season started

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Not really actually, seeing as it is the easiest job in the league I've seen Caps fans complaining about his role on the PP this year.

I dunno man... 4th in scoring among D-men and 12th overall in power play points is pretty damned good.

Oh, it will include Hagelin at a minimum.

As a Penguins fan, I've had visions of Carl Hagelin rediscovering his hands as he blows by Jack Johnson on a breakaway to score the series winner.

 

[Ola]

The reason it took an hour for McKenzie to make the second tweet was because he had to figure out how to make it look unclear after he got the exact details of the deal.

 

[Moses Doughty]

they have enough space currently to get toffoli without adding burakovsky

Maybe I misread it but wasn't their deadline cap only a few hundred thousand? Even prorated Toffoli's cap will be alot more than that. But there's still next year's cap anyways

 

[BondraTime]

Caps didnt need to move any cap space to acquire hagelin as they already had that space so i dont think it's him

How so? The caps have like 200k in cap space and the remaining cap for Hagelin is about 900k

 

[deckercky]

Let's pretend it'll be a blockbuster. Doughty to WSH.

 

[txpd]

Not always. I've seen Kovalchuk play the John Carlson role on the point before.

The Capitals aren't going to do that though. There is no slot available on the Caps pp1. Its not Kovy. Besides a Kovy/Kuzy thing would give me a headache

before dsp on waivers:
Washington Capitals - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

DEADLINE CAP SPACE

: $1,101,060

Tyler Toffoli - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Toffoli:
Remaining Daily Cap Hit

: $1,137,634

Carl Hagelin - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Hagelin:
Remaining Daily Cap Hit

: $989,247

 

[Seachd]

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't trade him.

That said, Hoven is terrible. He belongs in the same Twitter dumpster as Cox, Dater, Proteau and everyone else who thinks they're bigger than they actually are.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Hagelin and a 4th for Burakovsky.

 

[Langway]

...

So they can only fit Hagelin at 50% once DSP clears/gets claimed (or if Jaskin or other salary is shipped out).
