<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Panik is probably better than Mittelstadt right now.
Here is the deal, on the LW one of Skinner, Hall, Olofsson, or Kahun would be the odd man out if Adams traded for Panik.
Skinner had a terrible year and is definitely better than Panik.
Kahun playing for 3 different teams scores at about 1/2 per game over a short 2 season NHL career.
On the right wing, Cozens WILL be better than Reinhart and Okpose has 93 pts with 38 goals over the last 3 seasons while Panik had only 75 pts and 31 goals.
I do not see him bumping any of them out of the line up either.
He does not fit on the LW nor the RW.

Most importantly his salary will be nearly $2,000,000 more than Mittelstadt.
I think I would keep Mittelstadt with a higher potential than give him up for Panik.
If he PKed, I could possibly see a reason, but as the trade is written I see no reason for Buffalo to take on extra cap this year.</div></div>

In Ari, Panik was on the third unit of the league's best PK. IN WSH, he had a similarly small role on the 6th best PK. He plays either wing, but

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>Well you're overvaluing him. Think what you want.</div></div>

I'm not OP. I think Mittelstadt is still a half decent prospect. Next summer if he hasn't show improvement, this could be fair, but give Mittelstadt some time to show he can translate his game to the highest level.

Had you merely posted, "Buffalo is keeping Mittelstadt," I would not have commented.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>He's not a top 6 player. Just because WSH has shoehorned him there doesn't justify his performance at all. 9 goals for 22 points is barely third line production not to mention the upgraded talent in the top 6 that he gets to play with. We're not interested.</div></div>

No. WSH shoehorned him onto their 4th line/press box rotation, where he got 20 points in his last 36 games of last year, a 45 point pace, with a lot of dirty goals down low. I think WSH keeps him to play 2nd line in case of injuries, and keeps him on 3rd line this year for secondary scoring. I just thought your comment was nonsense.

Other guys who got stuck in Todd Reirden's doghouse: Andre Burakovsky, Chandler Stephenson, Travis Boyd. It's almost an honor.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kylonetic8</b></div><div>How come you always drop Vrana down to the third line? Are you trying to reduce his value so we get him for cheaper?</div></div>

Galchenyuk has a 30 goal year. So does Athanasiou. You could penalize them for being horrible defensively, or put them and Kuznetsov in when the team needs a goal, and has the puck in the zone, and you'd get a lot of goals. This team easily has two good power play units. Eller, Hathaway, Hagelin, and Dowd are all decent on PK. I think Galchenyuk and Athanasiou replace the secondary scoring ability of Burakovsky and Connolly, but you're not going to sign them by telling them they get to play on a checking line. They've tried that. It doesn't work out for them.

Sujet: Caps fans is this fair
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>They'd pay you. His contract isn't good and he's regressing as a player.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>If you offer them a 5th for him they’ll take it</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ihaveajoner</b></div><div>It’s fairs but there are better players for free</div></div>

Panik started slow last year, injured. He finished in the best form of his life. 20 even strength points in 36 games, a 45 point pace, just above his career best season of 44. He also kills penalties pretty well, not that SJ needs any help there.

He started last year slow, and most Caps fans decided he was bad at hockey, so most Caps fans would give him away for free. The better move for WSH is to keep him and play him next year at 2R after Seattle likely takes Oshie.

The reason the above might be fair anyway would be if WSH could somehow magically take the cap space/roster spot created by giving Panik away and sign a UFA project or two with the potential to be more than a 45 point player. I'm not privy to UFA negotiations. Just a fan, but I think a 3rd and a 5th and cap space to give a couple of "prove it" contracts to skill players coming off terrible seasons, who think WSH is the team to get their careers back on track.

Sujet: Who says no
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyFan989</b></div><div>Jets say no, only reason our core is around Laine’s age group.. trade would need to be around younger players</div></div>

Thanks. I agree it's not a rebuilding move. It's a one-for-two of top-six guys, and that means giving up a bit of youth. It's possible that Laine keeps improving and gets better than Ovechkin in a few years, but it's also possible he doesn't. Plenty of guys peak around 23 years old, or so, and then fall off. Some guys stay in shape and stay consistent.

I see it as a rebuilding move for WSH, where they try Eller or McMichael at 2C, and have a competition between Laine and Vrana for the 1L spot with Backstrom, and then try to still make the playoffs. Could see Lowry or even Perreault instead of Copp, if it makes any difference.

Sujet: Caps side of laine
WSH doesn't have cap issues this year. Kempny just had surgery and is out for eight months. They're under the cap.

Laine had 7 more even strength points than Vrana this year, but Vrana had a better points/60, so if he gets bigger minutes, he could outscore Laine this year or next year on his own. I don't see the point of the trade.

Over the last five years Orlov is 8th in EVP among LHD. Fehervary is a top prospect developing faster than a couple of first round draft picks. The two of them together make a fair trade for Laine.

So you've got two units of "Laine's trade value" here, plus a 1st round pick, and on the other side, you've got just one Laine. Consider revising?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingLundqvist30</b></div><div>I will say though, a Powerplay of

Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Laine
Oshie-Carlson

would be absolutely insane. Easily best Powerplay in the NHL.</div></div>

See above. (eta: but what about Backstrom, Wilson, Schultz, McMichael, etc.? Top power plays tend to have two good units, and Backstrom is the key to the Caps' top unit.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>No chance the Jets take 29 year old Orlov back as a main part of the deal.</div></div>

See above. Cheers.
