Remove Kovacevic then maybe

I'm thinking about it, so it might be close.

If Ryjo shores up center for the rest of this season we'll get some use from him, and if he can return say a 3rd at 50% retained next season, it might be worth considering.
Basically Kovacevic + $2M for two 3rds (Plus a warm body to help through injuries.)

Might not be feasible if we already need to retain on Dvorak, Savard, and/or Allen, since that move would only leave us with 1 retention slot, but I'd sleep on figure out which combination of moves would result in the best return.
If course it's off the board if someone walks in with a better deal not involving retention.

I don’t hate it.

Anaheim passes — we get at least a 2nd in 2024 for Rico

Given COL themselves gave a 2nd for Eller last deadline I think Caps would be looking for at least that to move Dowd, especially when he has an extra year

Remove Kovacevic and swap the 3rd rd pick for a 1st and maybe KH considers lol

So your issue is for when the pick is?

Whoa buddy

Indeed — a 2026 2nd likely makes his entrance to the NHL around 2030 so that isn’t going to work especially when we will get a earlier 2nd at least for Rico come deadline

I get that ig
