Sujet: If positional need is the top priority for Calgary in the offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>grobkenwood</b></div><div>Hagelin has more value to the Caps than Panik did. Hagelin actually leads the Caps forwards in penalty killing time on ice per game and still has very solid speed. He also has committed only 6 minor penalties all year and is one of only 4 forwards to play every game for Washington. Panik had already lost his job to Sprong so the comparison is beyond ridiculous.</div></div>

it cost Toronto a first-round in 2020 to dump 6.25million Marleau contract. that was before COVID/ flat cap. Panik deal after this year is 2.75 x 2y = 5.5million in cap during a flat cap era. it would absolutely cost a 1st in a terrible draft to move that type of contract. Leafs moved a 1st in a great draft to dump 6.25m in total dollars. Capitals would more than likely need to add a 1st to move Hags also if they felt the need to trade him. He currently has a role and plays it really well so no reason to move him at all.

Sujet: Flexing some cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>WSH has seven NHL defensemen signed through next year, plus some decent prospects who should be ready, and maybe Chara again? They could trade Dillon or Kempny, most likely? But playoff performance always weighs heavily with MacLellan.

Schultz and Carlson are the guys who have a lot of power play experience/skill, so neither seems likely to be given away. I could see Schultz being exposed in expansion more easily than the above trade.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>grobkenwood</b></div><div>Also, the Capitals depth at RHD tails off significantly after Carlson and Schultz. If Schultz goes away then Jensen becomes a Top-4 and Van Riemsdyk becomes an everyday 3rd pairing guy. The other option would be to bring up Fehervary although he is a left shot and provides nowhere near as much offense.</div></div>

So they would protect Carlson, Orlov and Schultz then? Leave Dillon exposed?

Sujet: Kuznetsov as a winger
The tricky part of valuing this offer is Puljujarvi: he's having a good season, and is outplaying Sprong, but the Caps can afford to re-sign Sprong. Take that swap out since it doesn't fit the Caps' long term cap picture, and then suddenly it looks like EDM is letting the Caps out of the tail end of two contracts while they're still both good (each worth a 3rd) in exchange for swapping a 60 pt center for a 70 pt center. So it's not that Edmonton would necessarily have to add more than a pretty good young player like Puljujarvi, but the value would have to be in a form that the Caps could afford to hold onto while still signing Ovechkin, Vrana, and RNH this summer.

eta: I love the idea of Kuznetsov back at wing, and I've been pushing for the Caps to try it for years. I think he'd score more goals there, if they could find a different center who could get as many assists. That's the hard part.
