Did I say ignore the cap? No. Did I say the goaltending was good enough? No. Did I say that the team should not make a move as it relates to the cap? No.
Here is what I did say because you clearly didn't read it or didn't understand it....
No chance that Johnsson returns a 1st rounder at present. Tough injury and a bad season almost assures that to be the case.
Kapanen could likely return a lower 1st rounder as his skill set is known and his cap hit/term are manageable.
That being said... Everything below the top two lines in this presentation is small sample sizes, unknowns, near retirees and AHL'ers.
The D has not improved and you are left with a two line team and a little over 3 million dollars in cap space to build a contender with two key UFA's at seasons end?
No thanks.
In short... the trades you have suggested here are not realistic and contrary to the direction of the franchise and the team that you've left behind is a two line group with an unimproved D Core and a bottom six that is made up of a bunch of unproven NHL'ers, a single aging veteran who is almost 38 years old and a bunch of AHL'ers with two key UFA's leaving at seasons end and 3 million dollars to improve the team in a flat cap market.
Anything else genius? Or do you get it now?
