Sujet: Totally completely realistic offseason to set us up for cap hell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goodfella</b></div><div>I think the biggest issue is SJ's plan. They seem lost. I can't tell what direction they're headed. I'm a fan of theirs by the way, so that should tell you something.

One thing people on this site don't know is that Hertl is a fan favorite. Imagine Marleau being traded in his prime. Regardless of what you'd get, the damage to the franchise would go beyond the trade.</div></div>

Yeah I get that, I was reading through some of the SJS Armchair GMs and half of them were calling for a rebuild while the other half wanted the team to go all-in

True but if it makes the team better in the long run I think most people would forgive (especially if the FO spins it). Like if Kuzy went out and shined for the team and you were guaranteed 4 more years of him I think most fans would forgive.

Side note: is there any chance SJS trades Evander Kane? If so what do you think he would command

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boush</b></div><div>I don't see the Caps replacing Hagelin with another winger over $2mil. If/when he is moved, they'll get another value player or cycle through some prospects. Same thing with Kempny/Jensen - they'd move Kempny, the rusty LD, before they move Jensen, the capable RD. Overall strategy, though, I think you've got nailed. Count me in the camp with you that thinks Eller is not as safe as some believe.</div></div>

I agree to an extent but for me the Hagelin move wasn't about money as much as its about age. I don't want to have a 32 year old 4th liner on the team when the team is already one of the oldest in the league. Also I think the Caps 4th line is an advantage so I wouldn't move any of those guys unless I got back in return equal player/an upgrade and in my eyes going from Hags to McGinn is an upgrade while going from Hags to cheap player/prospect is a downgrade (unless the prospect is like a B/B+ prospect but you wouldn't play those guys on your 4th line).

My thing about Kempny/Jensen is that you can get a pick back for Jensen while you would have to attach a pick to Kempny. So because of that, I would rather have a pick and Kempny rather than Jensen and 1 less pick. Also if Kempny struggles you can easily replace him with Alexeyev.

Thank you I appreciate that, yeah for sure I don't think a 32 year old 3C is safe when the GM is talking about being aggressive.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>I'd kill for Hertl. Would love for that to happen.

No way Caps trade away Eller unless they absolutely have to. Kempny isn't coming back from that injury and being 2nd pair, think his top 4 days are over. And Fehervary will definitely be on the team.</div></div>

For sure, Hertl would fit nicely on the team. I don't know about that, the GM keeps talking about being aggressive and you can't be aggressive without giving something up and I think the player you gotta give up is Eller. I'm not sure but if that is the case, Kempny and Alexeyev could switch. Fehervary was an interesting one but the article I linked wasn't too bullish about him on the team this year. I think in 2022 when Schultz and Kempny's contracts come off the books, that's when you'll see Fehervary.
