eta: I know Ovechkin can score 50+ goals in a season but if another Russian player does not do that, it might not mean they are lazy. Oshie has never broken 40 and we all say he's hard-working. I mean, sure. He is. But Semin and Kuznetsov work pretty hard, too.</div></div>

Did you just say Semin worked hard??? Lol. Did I wake up in a different reality this morning?? And besides, my comparison was more along the lines of two players having good stretches and then falling off.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>In this millennium there have been 128 40+ goal seasons in the NHL. To my knowledge only one of them was posted by someone who went on to grad school in chemistry or whatever. So keep going with the insults. I'm sure you're really hurting Kuznetsov's feelings.

Landeskog has like a tenth of a point/game more than Kuznetsov this year. It's within the margin of error. They're basically doing equally well, but Kuznetsov has the better contract.</div></div>

Didn't expect the snark from you Eli. You've always been one for honest discussion. Looks like you been hanging out with the trolls on here too much.

Equally well...if your going by a ppg basis...maybe. as overall players...Gabe has him beat by miles.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>im actually interested as to why you think Orlov has less value than Arvidsson? have you seen his stats the last 2 years.... less than impressive

i think the Avs would rather keep their captain than let him go... i do however thnk Kuzy is grossly underrated on this site. Some guy told me the wild would trade a1st and prospect for him.....their center depth is Rask Bonino EK and Hartman...... 70 point centers must be going out of style

in the history of the wild i think the have only had 4 players score more than 70 points in a season .... last one was Staal 17-18before that it was Koivu 09..</div></div>

It isn't so much that Orlov is better or worse that Arvs...but the Caps are stacked at LD and a line of Vrana, Gabe and Arvs would be sick. Just think Arvs needs a change of scenery.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Just trying to be sure I understand the assumptions, here: five years of a center with three 70 point seasons who tried cocaine at a party while he was drunk after he led the playoffs in points equals one season of a center with one 70 point season? Are you assuming that the fans in DC who recently voted to decriminalize marijuana are offended by Kuznetsov trying drugs, or that the fans in Denver who voted years ago to decriminalize marijuana are offended by Kuznetsov trying drugs? Because...

"Never Gonna Happen"</div></div>

Honestly...Kuzy reminds me TOO Much of Semin. Good for a few years and then falls flat. I'm disgusted at his faceoff ability and lack of interest the last couple of seasons. Three years ago I was really high on Kuzy...now...he is just a cancer that needs to be cut out. Has nothing to do with the coke either. He is never gonna score 70 pts in a season again...guaranteed.

The path may be different, but I think most would agree AA's ceiling is much much higher than both Seigs and Fehervary.

edited after like: I'm trying to stay optimistic on Schultz. Maybe with Orlov, the two of them produce some offense? Or maybe they have a secret plan to trade Carlson for their next franchise wing. Those are my two thoughts, there. I suppose if it's the second one, it could be next summer, but as you pointed out, Schmidt didn't exactly return a future franchise player under a flat cap.</div></div>

I can't be optimistic with Schultz. It is plain unforgivable to me.

I liked his numbers for a 4th liner for sure. And at 700K signing with the Leafs, I think the Caps lost out big time. If the cap hit had been over a million, I could have seen it being an issue.

Siegs would work in this scenario if A.A. stays in the AHL. I really have high hopes for A.A. and feel it's best for him to start getting some NHL playing time, while practicing with the big club.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>If Orlov's defense bothers you, Schultz with Fehervary is gonna be great. Actually, if you move Schultz to his off-side, you've got three defensively decent RHD there. Means one less kid develops. Fehervary was good last year, but I bet Alexeyev comes back from the KHL ready to play. Should be a good camp.

Yeah. He might enjoy rebuilding. Who knows?

Hey, while we're all discussing a WSH/LA blockbuster, and lamenting WSH's RHD depth, why not just Kuznetsov and Jensen for Doughty? Then WSH counts on one of McMichael/Protas to play 3C the next three years on ELC, and has a really good blue line, on each side.</div></div>

Orlov doesn't bother me at all. But he's a LHD. Don't give me that off side crap either. :P Mark my word, Schultz is gonna look like a fool in DC.

I like Eller as a 3C, but as a full time 2C I'm a little sketched out. I also am one of the few who is low on McMichael. Size matters for a center in the NHL and he just doesn't have it. Protas...maybe. but his numbers in the KHL right now are underwhelming.

How is Jensen's job filled? Caps only have 3 RHD. And don't give me that LHD playing right side crap.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>People on this site are normally short sighted or too stupid to know what this team actually needs. Schultz was paired with JJ all last year and coming off 2 terrible leg injuries. I’ll reserve judgement but for now it was a creative idea that brings in a player that’s a winner and can move the puck up ice well. Lav is a defensive coach so he can iron out the D zone issues.</div></div>

Did we really need a puck moving RHD???...NO!!!! Our D looked silly in the playoffs the way it was. We needed a solid shut down RHD at a decent cost. Shultz is neither.
