I would love all of these minus the ducks and sens trades.

It would hurt to lose Wilson but Necas would fit our timeline better

It’s hilarious how much everyone hates on Chychrun now

I don’t, I want him! Is this a fair return in your opinion?

No way the Caps cut bait on McMichael. Not even for the Zegras show. Wilson is the next team captain, no way he moves. I agree Patches and AA should/will be gone as of tomorrow. And Kaliyev is a good target project similar in upside to Sandin that GMBM seems interested in.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly on Wilson/Necas. Carolina might be in a tough spot with all the expiring contracts and Wilson would add an element they really need on that team. He would also probably be cheaper then what Necas might command long term.

I don't hate Chychrun. I just don't want to give up 1sts

I think CMM has taken big steps this year, but he’s IMO several levels below Zegras and Caps desperately needs a playmaking C which CMM isn’t. They’re two months apart age wise and they have Strome and Lapierre to center the top-9.

Frankly, Wilson touted to be the next Captain (in 2,5 years) should not be an obstacle to get this done. He’s in his prime now and should be competing for Cups, that won’t happen with Caps for at least 3-4 years.

Wilson does not want to leave DC. He is rooted in DC, loves DC, having a family now, not playing reckless hockey, and I dont think he has any inclination to go anywhere. He also has to carry the glue guy torch when Oshie LTIRetires from injuries (next year)

I can't imagine the Canes having any interest in Wilson's next contract.

Yeah, but it’s part of the business. Because it is a business after all. And I don’t think he has a say in it. Maybe the Canes need a glue guy as well and don’t mind his contract for all the intangibles he brings.

You hate on the guy too lol, I've seen your twitter

ya that dont get chych, OTT declines

I don’t think Ottawa has that much leverage to ask for what they gave up to get him. He’s a lot closer to UFA and is rumored to not want to re-sign.
Jensen balances out that defense really well being a top-4 RHD. We can make the 3rd a conditional 3rd, which turns into a 2nd if he re-sign in Washington.

....chych himself said he wants to stay, he bought a house 5 min from his sister and 10 min from his grandfather, the only reason OTT would trade him is to get LD/RD balance, but with chabot always injured (he is injured again) they may not trade him at all. OTT has ALL the leverage vs a team wanting chych.

If that’s the case I’ll stand corrected. I’ve just been reading rumors about him not wanting to re-sign, which would shift the leverage away from the Sens. And I don’t think living close to his sister will determine career-decisions for him.
So, because Chabot is injured sometimes you rather never have RD/LD balance then to have it when he isn’t injured. Do I understand you correctly?

they may trade chabot instead of chych. Senko only waived for FLA because of his family, so yes players make decision of were they want to go for family reasons

With all do respect, Tarasenko and Chychrun are not in similar situations and had Florida not been playoff bound, he likely wouldn’t have waived to go there.
I respect your opinion and will not try to forced mine on you. I hope Chychrun ends up on the Caps, and if Sens opt to trade Chabot instead, I wish them the best of luck with considering his contract and injury-history.
My reasons for posting on Capfriendly is to gauge value on players and try to find deals to improve all parties involved. if mine is lopsided I’ll gladly rework it to make it suit both teams.
What would it take from your POV to get Chychrun to the Caps?
