The only thing I disagree with is your assessment on the Mantha trade. Let me first say, disagreeing is a strong word. I do agree that he hasn't lived up to the amount we paid for him. BUT, and I have no statistical backing of this, I think he has a breakout year this upcoming season.

And actually, I think the Caps break through and advance to the 3rd round next postseason. We have the salary cap finally needed to bring in the right pieces, our youth movement has begun (finally), and we should get an established goalie</div></div>

I love the idea of Fleury coming to the caps but I agree I don’t see it happening the problem is we need a strong reliable starting goalie and I feel like the Free Agent and trade market is weak or too expensive for that right now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>The Mantha trade has been far from a failure in DC. While losing him to injury for much of the year hurts, Vrana had the same issue, and Mantha is better at creating plays, getting into dirty areas that Vrana doesn't do nearly as much, and plays a better defensive game than Vrana. The 2nd rounder given up to make the upgrade was definitely worth it, and I get the feeling that this will become clearer next season.

Fleury at 4.5 is... well rough. He's going into his age 38 season and is about the same sv% goalie as Vanecek. Whatever experience he would bring would, at best, offset the 4.5 mil you have him getting, which could look really bad about 10 games into next season.

I wouldn't touch Mikheyev if he's asking for 4 million, if you want to play the youth, there's a good place to insert some. Protas or Leason come to mind.

As for Keller himself, I can't see Arizona trading him. Yes, he is 23, but in about 4-5 years when the team is contending he will be hitting the prime of his career, so trading him for reasons of not being important when they contend is something I wouldn't agree with.</div></div>

I can see your points except for mikheyev, he is really fast, strong 2-way player and actually had a pretty good year this year, adding him to the caps 3rd line is exactly what they need, it doesn’t need to be at that price but whatever price they can get him at I think they really need him

Sujet: Whats the cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chopper02</b></div><div>NJ is nowhere close to championship caliber. They can wait a couple years</div></div>

They can’t wait a couple years there stars are getting older just like every team and they have a core now is the time to build around that core this organization is an embarrassment to the organization it once was. It was once a proud successful dynasty but not it is a orginization that can’t rebuild many teams have crashed and rebuilt during the time the devils have been rebuilding. They need to wrap it up, they are losing fans, if they start the year of badly next year they are gonna have a full year of empty seats and a huge loss of money. There are already season ticket holders canceling because of how unbearable it is. The time is now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>All_Knowing</b></div><div>I think the Caps will be really good next season (depending on who they bring in obviously). But this old team has the potential to get some new life in them. Hear me out:

In order of priorities:

Trade Eller - sub in McMichael - gives you around $9.5 mil

Buy out Hags (or he retires)

Resign Sammy (or VV depending on who management wants - I would say Sammy for 2 x $2.5mil)

Bring in a goaltender - either Kuemper or Husso. I do not want anyone else. Holtby is past his time (and people forget that yes he had a great postseason in 2018, but leading up to that, he was pretty awful in the regular season).

Bring in a solid top 6 goal scorer (like Mikheyev or Nichushkin)

Bring in a defensive dman (preferably LHD) or assess Alexeyev and Johansen (last I heard, Alexeyev had a so so year and Johansen finally is coming together)</div></div>

That wouldn’t be bad, I definitely want to get mikheyev because I think he would be a big addition especially his speed
