Caps fan here. DEAL no take backs.

This would be perfect for me because I am so ready for the Caps to get rid of Carlson. I don't care about the offensive production he has, he is terrible in the D-Zone and on odd man rushes. Get him gone

While I would agree that the Caps should accept this, I cannot wait for all the Carlson haters to see how the team is without him. Carlson is so important to the Caps - you saw that last season when he was injured how poorly they played AND also this season, when he ate 26+ minutes a night for the final ~2months of the season.

Yes, he makes some horrible mistakes, but just be prepared to miss him when/if he's gone...

I know what you are saying but what if we were able to do the trade for Marner and get someone like Montour to slot in as the number 1 defenseman. He is absolutely capable of doing what Carlson does

Jets could be another potential spot for Carlson depending on waiving I believe. Don’t have a marner, but possibly a deal to be found. Need someone on the rhd side, not crazy term and got some partners lined up with limited offense and can hold down the d zone.

Who would be on the table there? Perfetti? Connor? I know those are big names but we are talking Marner on this post so I am curious

Ehlers seems to be the whipping boy at the moment, new coach/same gm, so Carlson might be a little bigger ticket item than there after, but a big right handed shot dman has evaded them for a few seasons now.

Yeah that could work - and I am all for getting Marner so i agree, the Caps should accept the above trade.

I was just talking solely on the Carlson "hate" (even though hate probably isn't the right word here) - he continues to be the scapegoat from the Caps fan base and a lot of it isn't deserved (imo)
