Sujet: Re signing Ovi And A Eagle on The Wing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ciccarelli22andOvi8</b></div><div>I truly believe that Kuzy or Ovi has to go to make the cap limits the next few years. To me...if Kuzy goes, Ovi Stays. If Ovi goes, Kuzy goes. So, Sign Ovi to whatever for 4 years. Extend Vrana for $6 x 8. Just like Holtby. My horses have been hitched to Vrana since day 1. I picked him over Bura. He is gonna be an all-star 45 - 50 goal scorer. Put him on PP1 more as well.</div></div>

But why doesn't Washington ever use team-friendly contracts as comparables? Guys who recognize that, yeah, they're good, but they're good as part of a superstar-laden team and it benefits them to stick with it?

Is Vrana closer to Alex Tuch or Brayden Point?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stevierebz</b></div><div>Is Sam really worth a $6 million bridge deal? The kid’s only played 26 games in the NHL. I don’t follow WSH so just curios to what the chatter thinks. I figured 2x 2to3million was more what he’d get.</div></div>

This is how other teams would approach this. Look at Nashville and Columbus locking up great young goalies super cheap. Look at Calgary signing their backup to a decent backup salary after he had a year that was on a level with Holtby.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ciccarelli22andOvi8</b></div><div>If he plays well this year, along side with the fact he ran Holtby out of town, He is going to demand at least 5.5.</div></div>

Holtby had an off year. That doesn't mean Samsonov is better than Vanecek. Copley played pretty good as Holtby's backup the year before. Had stats almost on par with Quick for his season. Copley and Vanecek are healthy. Samsonov missed the playoffs with an undisclosed injury, so as an outsider, I have to give an edge to Vanecek and Copley for the #1 job out of camp. I figure the team signs a $1M UFA goalie to play in parts of 40 games and be exposed in the expansion draft. Samsonov gets into another 20-30 games to keep developing and, barring a 16 win playoff, signs 2 yearsx2.5M next summer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ciccarelli22andOvi8</b></div><div>Let me be clear, I do not feel that it is ideal to trade Ovi (just look at my username). But Vrana is putting up 25/25 seasons at just 14 - 15 minutes per game. I sense a 50/50 guy with top line minutes. Especially with Backstrom and Kopitar feeding him the puck. Wilson is gonna give you what he gives. Not gonna complain about that.</div></div>

Agreed. Extend Vrana 8 years at whatever it costs before trading Ovechkin, though.

caveat: Did Vrana get any points in this year's playoffs? Ovechkin showed up. Might have better odds at a championship this year keeping both, although Schmidt was pretty good for Vegas on their run. Not opposed to your second draft either. Schmidt and Smith could be a good combination to get back, although you're right that the two picks on top of them aren't happening.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Zetterberg doesn't cost Detroit any cap space. They can get it all back if needed. So taking Zetterberg's contract doesn't help or hurt The Wings. So Detroit giving up anything to take Z's contract isn't going to happen.

Sorry I mentioned Zetterberg. He is all yours.

A 2nd and a decent prospect seems like a very fair price. Doesn't have a to be a 2nd and a 3rd. Can't promise Toronto's 2020 2nd since in real life Toronto still owns that. Could try to make this a four team trade, but I'm not sure Toronto wants to help Washington get Kessel.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Agree with the others, not trading zetteberg no matter what and it costs you this year's 2nd(tor) and a good prospect to retain that</div></div>

Sujet: Gimme Dat AA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EnvironmentalTwister</b></div><div>You can't walk away from an arb award unless it's over 4.5 million I believe. If they don't sign him before arb, they're forced to pay him that money or trade him.</div></div>

Nah. It's pay or UFA. The chance to trade him ends on arbitration day. That's why you see RFA rights getting traded for less than the signed player would be worth in trade. Edmundson would never move anywhere for just a 5th round pick, but his RFA rights just did. And he signed for 3.5M per. If we're saying AA might be a good gamble at a $3M salary, then the ceiling of what his RFA rights are traded for should be a 5th like Edmundson. Possibly just a 6th if there's more risk involved, such as the risk that AA at $3M might not get any points, and wouldn't chip in anything defensive or physical to make up for it. There's some potential reward there, too, so I agree with ClockReads that a 7th might be too low.
