Wild pass. MN has 0 need for Demers and Fischer is a lateral move with Hartman. MN already knows how/where Hartman fits with the team, so no reason to make the swap.

u right but after losing to vancouver they could shake things up on offense by flipping hartman, who didn't have a great series and by adding even more depth to an already deep d-core.

Hall isn't signing for anything less than $9M AAV. That's the Jeff Skinner comparable and Hall is much better.

Why would the Caps want Chaput? To help out Hershey?

the coyotes already gave him an offer worth 7.5 mil

yea adding more depth

... that's an offer. Doesn't mean he's signing it. Why do you think he hasn't signed it? ... cause it's too low.

The Caps already have two of their 4th liners signed for multiple years and plenty of guys in Hershey that deserve a look, and teams don't typically spend picks on guys they intend to play on their AHL affiliate. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
