They are really bad lets just hope Leonard comes soon

Change the 3rd to a 2nd in the EDM deal.

Highly doubt LAK is giving up a 1st for a rental, but I do think you could get a 2nd for Mantha from someone, a 1st is wishful thinking. Maybe if Caps took back a bad contract as well then a 1st makes sense.

Mantha is worth a second without retention though, 2.85 million in retention is what makes Mantha worth the first, as it allows LA the space to make other deals without having to move money out. Also, I see Lindgren's value going down as the Caps continue to play abysmally.

Bourgault and a 3rd is already an overpay for a backup goalie, why would you change it to a 2nd ??? Not remotely worth it from an Oilers perspective

Lingren is the caps defacto starter, he just got injured for a bit so Kuemper has played more games

Good for him, he has played well, but goalies don't tend to go for high prices, and this is a massive overpay for EDM imo. No reason to make the trade this way.
