If it was an unprotected 2024th and a additional pick would you do it? Instead of the 8oa

Possibly. Would probably try and see if someone in a similar spot in this current draft would first.

Doubt it. Caps are said to wanting to contend next year. 8oa could be on the table. For someone younger tho imo

What if you take out Alexeyev and add a lesser prospect?

Yager needs time, not nhl ready. I hope by some miracle we get Axel Sandin-Pellikka. No to Bob, just no. With those two in net you'll be wishing to be put out of you rmisery. Overpayment on Raks and Rust. Rust has sub 50 Points and you're hoping for a 1st???!!! Muz will be retiring Valtteri isn't ready. 1st for Marcus?? absolutely not. Guentz is our only hope for the next 5 years, he will be staying no matter what.

Petterson isn’t getting a first, especially from the Canes.

Why is TO adding a 1st to this trade? If anything it should be the other way around. 6 years of Rust at over 5 million is a crazy bad deal. No way TO takes that on.

That's a very generous contract for Fasching. I'll honestly be surprised if he gets half that. He's had a nice little half-season with the Isles, but he's a bottom 6 guy.

definitely intriguing but I don't think washington moves 8oa to pittsburgh in any circumstance, just makes them look too bad if the pick hits. i definitely think the pick could be in play for a player of Guentzel's caliber though

Who did Rust play with for the most part this year? Curious as to why his PPG average is down quite a bit from last season.

Rust and Rakell are yours to keep. They’re expensive for a long time. Why trade Guentzel to a rival in the same boat you’re in?
