I live in the DC area. Does this kid not know that the Italian scene here is trash? Eh, probably still an upgrade over Calgary.

 

[RangersFan1994]

And this is why you need to keep later picks so you have a chance to make a trade like this

 

[MrAlmost]

Drury asleep at the wheel!

In seriousness, damn. He's a good player and plays the type of way we need more of.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Washington did well here.

 

[rangers1314]

It’s a yard sale in Calgary.

Would they part with Sharangovich? He just turned 26. UFA after next season.

Weird trade for Calgary, like even if the Caps stink they will get more back trading him at the deadline if they want.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Basically a late 1st. Caps will be terrible next seasin.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Seeing a lot of rumors about Kane. It would be absolutely backwards to prioritize Kane with so many better options available.

 

[17futurecap]

Basically a late 1st. Caps will be terrible next seasin.

It’s Colorado’s 2nd round pick in 25, will most likely be in the 50’s.

That's what people said this past season.

The issue is. AM is due 5.8m this next year. If we wanted to make this deal we would have needed to know we could clear the nec cap space AND somehow find a draft pick that could have matched WSH. Perhaps CAL could have retained, but that likely would have meant a higher pick or multiple picks that we just don't have. That said, AM is pretty solid and a good addition. If WSH misses the playoffs this year, they could likely recoup the pick.

5.8M is a lot to pay a gritty midget winger who scores 0.5PPG.

 

[mas0764]

Everyone is forgetting the problem with Buchnevich at the time was paying him $3M -> $6M was going to make the roster very very difficult to work the second Adam Fox went from 825k/yr to $9.5M.

If they did make it work, there's no money for Vincent Trochek for example and a huge 2C hole for example.

They could have just not signed Barclay Goodrow.

I wasn't implying we should've made that trade. We can't afford that cap hit nor should we have paid what CGY would've wanted to retain.

He’s overpaid

 

[mas0764]

Don’t know him that well, who can download me on him. His stats and age are intriguing

Im interested

 

[EdJovanovski]

Don't know what some people are talking about, that is a great trade for Calgary imo

 

[RangersFan1994]

True but so is Trouba.

 

[mas0764]

Yea but Buch wasn’t going to play 3 starting positions on the roster….

Plus the money already spent long term on wingers and future wages forecasted from Laf/kakko

Yes but Nemeth and Reaves could have been minimum salary, replacement level players.

 

[effen]

They could have just not signed Barclay Goodrow.

That's sort of a separate topic. After Tom Wilson almost murdered Panarin to a resounding complete lack of reaction, they were always getting some gritty mcgrits. The roster had proven itself incapable of protecting each other.

 

[haohmaru]

They could have just not signed Barclay Goodrow.

Yeah, not that simple. It's also a product of A.) Salary Cap and B.) Expectations for Kakko. Goodrow alone didn't cost them a shot at Buch.

The trade was shit. It's always been shit. But there were other things in play besides not signing this guy or that guy.

 

[Vitto79]

True but so is Trouba.

This makes me believe Trouba really is tradeable

 

[Atax]

This makes me believe Trouba really is tradeable

 

[Fitzy]

I’ve said at least a dozen times that I don’t think Trouba has negative net value.

It’s low, but if we placed him on waivers at full salary he would be claimed
