I...don't understand this trade.

That's a lot for Mantha, but who knows what he does on a team with more than one above replacement level NHL forward.
At first glance, I thought it was a salary dump by the Caps.UMSLBlues12 wrote: Mon Apr 12, 2021 3:38 pmI...don't understand this trade.

Hey, I stayed up through the Carter trade before I crashed.... JMC probably had already had two diaper changes by then. The only one who had a worse night's sleep than me, was Mike Hoffman.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Mon Apr 12, 2021 8:05 pmPeople can mock but all I’m seeing is i’m the only one who showed up prepared for whatever today could’ve broughtMatangama wrote: Mon Apr 12, 2021 2:08 pmNow that is funny!

I guess they feel they need a power forward who can score? No other explanation. Still overpaid IMO.Ozzies09tc wrote: Mon Apr 12, 2021 10:25 pmAs a caps fan...this is a total headscratcher for me as wellUMSLBlues12 wrote: Mon Apr 12, 2021 3:38 pmI...don't understand this trade.

Vrana must have the crabs or something
The teams have such different needs that I think the people asking "WTF is Washington doing?!?!" are missing the point, because the answer is "trying to win a Cup." Mantha is a big upgrade over Vrana, and they needed to clear Panik's cap space for the next couple years to have room for him going forward. In structure, this deal is very similar to the Schenn trade with Philly. We gave up a first for Schenn, then another first for the Flyers to take Lehtera and his contract off our books.NHLTIM wrote: Tue Apr 13, 2021 8:47 am I think that is a helluva trade for Washington. Mantha has beast potential in the right situation and I believe Washington is the perfect place for him. I believe it’s a win for the Caps.
Just wait until the draft. 🥴Dave's a mess wrote: Tue Apr 13, 2021 10:28 am Well may the 2021 Trade Deadline rest in boringass peace. We knew it would probably suck, and it sure did come through on that promise. Hopefully next year's is a bit more exciting.
After taking a second look at this trade, I am enjoying it.NHLTIM wrote: Tue Apr 13, 2021 8:47 am I think that is a helluva trade for Washington. Mantha has beast potential in the right situation and I believe Washington is the perfect place for him. I believe it’s a win for the Caps.
Caps might just be done. Been tooting their horn the last 2 years and they haven’t come close since. They should of had another Finals appearance in them but I’m not so sure now. If they don’t do it this year then they just might be pretenders from here on out. Best move they made was hiring Trotz and the worst move they made was letting him walk.Ozzies09tc wrote: Tue Apr 13, 2021 4:16 pmAfter taking a second look at this trade, I am enjoying it.NHLTIM wrote: Tue Apr 13, 2021 8:47 am I think that is a helluva trade for Washington.

Vrana is a rich man's robbi fabbri and with next to no scouting or minor league games to jusge....a 1st rounder is a crap shoot at best.
Having mantha and wilson is like having chaser and twister but able to score and play important minutes
I wouldn't write them off just yet. In 2019 they drew a tough matchup against Carolina who was a sleeping giant and made the conference final. Last year was a BS year after a 4 month layoff. Their window isn't open much longer, but they've got a shot this year. That division is going to be a beast though.BillP. wrote: Wed Apr 14, 2021 1:52 amCaps might just be done.
