jackets are at the point they need quality over quantity for prospects. Already a deep pool both talent and depth wise

Tbf the picks at the region of 30-45 are basically a coin toss, they pretty much share an equal potential to become something. I made this trade so ARI would have a better chance to draft Gauthier, a hometown kid.

Caps accept that trade

Caps are happy to accept

Love that for the caps. I think it’s fair to Arizona too? I’ve had a hard time gauging Schmaltz’s value

Caps Accept

Schmaltz probably has more value in the vacuum than this, but due to circumstance, such as the NTC that kicks in on July 1st and the abnormally high remaining actual salary of his, this might be the best avenue for Zona to explore.

Mantha can rebound and bring some value as a trade chip near the deadline. Things haven't worked on WSH, but prior to his transfer there he had a really good run with Detroit.

Schmaltz is the guy I want the caps to get if they trade kuzy. Seems like the perfect fit.

He’s my most wanted regardless. Primarily plays wing
