I have no issues with this. Seems like good value actually.
Good luck, Siegs!

I wonder if Siege asked for a trade? The Caps seem to like their defensive depth, and it's not like trading him opens up a lot of cap room.
Don't mind the value, though.

Potentially to make some space for a move tomorrow.
Also a third is pretty generous for a guy who we really couldn't get into our lineup at all this season.

Good, never liked him. Bowey feeling.

A UFA veteran would bring more guaranteed value than Siegenthaler at this point. Teams don't often pay up for potential, especially 6 years after they were drafted.
He's undoubtedly lost value since being a second round pick, I would have guessed a 4th or 5th round pick.
I think this is a good move.
Second rounders are usually hit or miss, we spend 6 years developing one who actually hits then we dump him for a mid 3rd round pick? Seems like complete total shit value to me. Wouldn't be surprised if he asked for a trade though.

uhhh. A big body "stay at home defensemen". I think he's strictly a bottom pairing guy, who can give you some PK minutes, but nothing world-breaking.
I don't think he was that good, but he can fill some minutes if a team needs them.

Tall defensive defenseman who can skate well. Not going to wow you but pretty solid and can move the puck decently IIRC.
Don’t think his potential is anything higher than a decent #4 but he always held his own as a young defenseman on a contending team.

He has the potential to be a good defensive defenseman. There's no real issues with his game other than on the offensive side. But even then he's a decent enough skater and he seems like he's fairly hockey smart.

Much obliged! I’m guessing he will take on Kulikovs role once we trade him.

He's an NHL calibur defenseman. Check the statistics on how many second round picks turn into guys who can play a regular shift in the NHL.
I don’t like the move, personally. Value is whatever but he’s going to be a solid stay at home defenseman. I guess LD is a logjam but who steps in this year if one of their defensemen get hurt? And really what does a third round pick do for this team? It’s another asset for them and one less contract on the books plus a little cap relief but seems kind of dumb to make this trade right now unless another move is coming. This seems like something they could have done around the draft.
Big, strong defensive defenseman. Very physical in front of the net and along the boards. Long reach and solid positionally. Very good shot blocker and strong on the PK.
On the flip side, he’s kind of a plodder when it comes to skating. Not very mobile and can struggle against speed. Not the best puck handler and will provide almost no offense, despite having a decent shot.

Good luck to Siegs. Really difficult year for him. Sitting in the press box for the whole season couldn't have done him any good.
Wish we drafted better. 2nd round pick, 6 freaking years in development and 3rd round pick back. And he is one of the 'success' stories...

I could be wrong (I usually am haha) but i dont think GMBM would just trade away depth without another move coming

thats kind of a weird question because most of his draft picks are 22/21 and younger
