If only Mangiapane and Panarin could ever be on the same team and share the same line together. Two bread guys together.

[@agent00puffball]

A 2nd for Mangiapane is a decent return, to be honest. Conroy is stockpiling draft picks and it is definitely starting to feel like a rebuild.

[@dontworryaboutit273]

For sure. This may be the easiest part of being a GM, but so far so good.

[@sadrevolution]

@@dontworryaboutit273 I mean, it's pretty easy to get nothing for a guy.

Good trade for Cgy, would have been nice to keep Mango but they are committing to ebuild. Kuzmenk & him are pretty much same type of player. Plus Hubie should rebound.

[@lazylank]

@@mannyoliveira776 I really hope Hubie does rebound, (even if just to 70-80 pts/season), and I was thinking about Kuzmenko too. He seems like he has the potential to fit right in to where Mang will be leaving. Good trade for both teams, I think.

[@mannyoliveira776]

@@lazylankI bet Hubie committed to the rebuild/tank as much as everybody else on day 1. There is no world where his talent doesn't exceed 55 pts without trying or not trying to do so. I'm sure they knew Tanev, Zadorv, Markstrm, & maybe Lindhol would be dealt before this upcoming season. If he tries even remotely this yr, 70-75 pts should be attainable on the Top 6. He was a bit unlucky as well, but felt he wasn't fully engaged like 2 or 3 others.

[@thesilentz4574]

Man hate to see him go. A favorite player of mine with Calgary and always appreciated his hard working game for the flames. First Markstrom that I saw coming and understood, but still as a fan hated to see. Now Mangiapane. Feels like more may be coming from the Flames.

[@sakalaathletics]

He is also a favourite of mine. The fact is that he was not performing for his contract the last two years. I hope he finds his form in Washington. It'll be hard to see him without a Flames uniform.

[@mgcgrozit]

As a fan of the Capitals, it really means a lot to hear Flames fans speak of him in high regard. We need that in Washington this year, especially if Oshie decides to hang em up. We'll cheer for him in Washington for you guys!

[@sakalaathletics]

@@mgcgrozit He's definitely a great guy for any team, and he does a lot of charity work. Awesome dude. He had a 35 goal season a couple years ago. He is great on the rebound, not as much of a sniper. Use him kind of like Hyman and he should be effective. I felt that after his 35 goal season they used him as if he was a different player than he is. He's also good shorthanded.

Guentzel is going to be overpaid. I hope the Canucks aren't going to get caught up in the madness.

[@rubberduckie5518]

If it’s less than 9M AAV? Sure let’s try. 9M+? We should just get a couple decent top 6 forwards instead on less term.

[@Furens]

I agree though if you put Guentzel alongside a truly elite player he can be worth 8-9M. Problem is while VAN has some great players I don't think they have a playmaker that can feed Guentzel enough opportunity to make that 8-9M seem worthwhile. And if Boeser is now a consistent 30 goal guy, does VAN even need Guentzel? There are cheaper ways to add 20-30 goals to the lineup....

[@scotsaul]

@@rubberduckie5518 , his age is the biggest concern for me. I hope he cashes in, but his age, the length of term he will be getting offered is too much a risk IMO

[@barryjames73]

This is where I have him to. 10M for him is nuts.

[@mannyoliveira776]

good player for sure, but I don't think he's worth 9mil, as I don't think he'll fit every team. He's got good offensive ability, works pretty hard, but not physical, or super good defensively, can he play on the opposite wing? He's been helped playing alongside two great centres, so not like he can carry a line. Hope he stays in Carolin, seemed to fit in well there

[@sterlingkeful340]

That's about right but its scary to think what he could make then produce in his 30s

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

I'd kind of like the Canucks to bring back Zadorov and get Taffoli instead of Guentzel, especially with the indications that things could get a bit nuts on the signing price. I'm also wondering if Millstein (the Canucks other "assistant GM") had any part in moving Mikheyev to Chicago and whether there was an understanding of that leading to signing Zadorov.

[@misakikoko4500]

As a Caps fan, I've never liked Guenzel since he was a Cap-killer, but any team will be better with him. I still can't believe the Pens threw him away and kept players like Letang and Karlsson. Guenzel had been their best player for a while.

[@benoitrobitaille5235]

Slowly but surely Washington’s depth chart is looking deadly … 2 or 3 seasons ago, a few more move like that and maybe they won’t just be Ovechkin stat padding/record reaching squad. Honestly impressed and surprised so far.

[@greencontroller9692]

Haha, no. Capitals depth chart is not looking good AT ALL and the move for Mangiapane is not a good move and it doesn't look like Capitals are going to be any better soon. They continue to make stupid decisions, acting like buyers when they should be sellers, destroying the entire franchise for just one player. This is beyond stupid.

[@benoitrobitaille5235]

Idk if it was clear enough, but i meant that it looked deadly if we were 2 or 3 seasons ago. But anyways, with the rest of your comment im assuming you are one of the “rebuilds are everything” crowd, rebuilds are far from being a 100% successful process, once you go in that direction your team might be stuck in it for decades. You have to run it back when you got a Star of Ovechkin, Crosby or Datsyuk caliber in your line up, and thinking it’s for them individually is a mistake, these kind of players have become indistinguishable from your franchise through the years, this second that they slow down, it isnt worth it anymore mentality is very NHL whatever year EA sports game like. What reason do Washington fans have to show up without Ovechkin doing Ovechkin things, without a shot at the playoff and a team showing they are trying to make it ? None … and don’t forget this whole show is profit driven. In a rebuild scenario, it’s sell everything not young and cheap, be stuck with contracts that look rough now out of the context they were signed in. Hope every season you finish among the lasts (with empty seats) to hopefully have a good position in a shitty lottery with no guarantees of getting the talent you need … if you struck gold congrats maybe you might be out of it in less than 10 years … if not your CBJ or Buffalo, good luck with that.

[@jonathanchampion9638]

@@greencontroller9692 In the past two years, the Caps have sold on: Lars Eller, Erik Gustaffson, Marcus Johanson, Dimitri Orlov, Anthony Mantha, Evgeny Kuzentsov, and Joel Edmunson. But yeah, apparently, they're "buyers" because they still need SOMEBODY to play in their top six. They've bought one year of Mangiapane, who will probably get flipped at next year's deadline, and taken a flier on Dubois (and moved out an overpaid backup goalie while doing it). That's it.

[@butcherpete2286]

​@@greencontroller9692 this is the most wild, off the mark take I've ever read on a teams off season moves I've ever read lmao. Mangiapane is a good depth player to help the team have more scoring options than Strome/Ovi/McMichael. And it's one year at his cap hit that's nothing, especially when they aren't resigning Aube-Kubel. They need players to ice a team and Mangiapane is a good player.

Caps cooked with this one

[@trustinrain5623]

Like the last one

[@billdapp2491]

Another master class move by Conroy. Mangiapane is not the 35 goal scorer he was two years ago. Well over paid at $5.8 million! At best he's a 15 - 20 goal scorer so costing too much.

[@gabrielrockman]

I think there's a good chance that he'll score more than 20 goals next season, but he's still overpaid.

[@taskdon769]

It will takes tons of effort to undone Treliving's disasters. Well, at least he is Leafs problem now.

[@butcherpete2286]

Yeah but that makes it a masterclass move on Brian McClellan too as they aren't looking for a 30+ goal guy, they need a middle six 20 goal scorer.

[@gabrielrockman]

@@butcherpete2286 Mangiapane is a good fit and he makes the Capitals slightly better. But a guy whose career high is 55 points, whose second best season is 43 points, and who has scored just 43 points and 40 points the last two seasons, but is getting paid 5.8 million this season shouldn't cost a 2nd round pick. And a team which is still probably not even good enough to return to the playoffs next season shouldn't be making trades like this.

[@jonathanchampion9638]

@@gabrielrockman A team that isn't good enough to return to the playoffs shouldn't be trading for scoring depth on expiring contracts, that they can flip at the next trade deadline with salary retained, likely for more than they just spent to acquire it?

[@gabrielrockman]

As a Caps fan, I don't approve. We're still worlds away from the Rangers and Canes. We're still probably behind New Jersey. Adding some 50-60 point players like Dubois and Mangiapane is an improvement to our team for sure, but we're still probably just the 4th best team in the division. I think we're more likely to finish bottom 3 in the division than we are to finish top 3 in the division. I'd rather commit to a rebuild than give up a 2nd round draft pick (even a Colorado 2nd round draft pick) for a 1 year rental of a 2nd line winger for a team that's borderline about whether or not they'll make the playoffs. Especially if he's getting 5.8 million for one season and isn't likely to be worth 5.8 million. I don't think that Mangiapane has much chance of performing well enough to get us back anything more than a late 2nd round pick in return in the not unlikely event that the Capitals are out of the playoff hunt at the trade deadline.

[@mannyoliveira776]

@@gabrielrockman Why not pick up a player who can score 25 - 30 goals on a good yr, works hard, just entering his prime, for a 2nd that isn't yours? And, the later of the 2 2nds. Plus like you said they can resign him for less or deal him for a 2nd in a yr? Caps have other tradeable assets if they commit to a rebuild - Strom, Carlss, Lindgrn, McMich or Lapier, Fehervar, etc. The Sharks just committed to a rebuild 1 yr ago & see how they are doing.

[@gabrielrockman]

@@mannyoliveira776 Because they're still nowhere as good as the Rangers or Canes and still very likely to finish behind the Devils. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Flyers or Islanders finished ahead of them. Why give up a second round pick for an expensive one year rental when you're probably not even going to make the playoffs, and if you do sneak in, you have almost no chance of getting through the first round.

[@mannyoliveira776]

@@gabrielrockman Altho I like Duboi & think he is good as a mid6 fwd potentially a #2 C/LW, that trade made even less sense, if Caps were consider a rebuild. This one made more sense as Mango has less flaws in his game, be it Duboi might have the higher ceiling & younger. Caps were dreadful last yr in scoring goals & PP, like bottom 6 n the league, so adding a bit of offense capab can only help their fan base endure mediocrity. Caps can still get in as a WC but yeah it's a stretch. But, so what, they delay their full on rebuild a yr? Or worse two?

[@lazylank]

Honestly, I feel like this is a good trade for both teams. I think Mangiapane needed a change of scenery, and he has room and potential to grow as a Capital. And at the same time, I think Calgary brought in enough goal scoring talent last year, plus they have some good goal scoring talent ready to move up from the AHL, that I don't think Mangiapane's goal scoring capabilities will be missed too much. The first year might see some growing pains, but I think within two years Calgary should see those goals back.

[@ratiquette]

I think there might be some sticker shock with Guentzel, but I’m far from convinced high 9s-low 10s is an overpay in today’s market and with the rising cap, considering his 94 point, 34 goal pace. If it starts to approach Nylander/Pettersson/Pastranak money I become skeptical.

[@b-ricemarsh5210]

I agree tbh I think 9.5 is fair for Guentzel anything higher is a no for me

[@terranboot9405]

As a Flames fan I love the rebuild and I am excited for it. no stress going into the season just keep building.

[@ultimate8550]

Something that I feel like is getting missed with the Guentzel talks is that Carolina can give him 8 years whereas everywhere else can only do 7 years. We have to remember that even if the Canes only pay him something like 7.75 million per year for 8 years, that would be the equivalent of him making 8.8 million per year on a 7 year deal somewhere else. So Carolina might seem like they are lowballing if they offer him under 8 million, but if they are offering him the full 8 year term it kind of evens out. Hopefully they can get him locked up.

Owners are more in on the “big fish” type of deals. That kind of money thrown around probly needs an owner to sign off on.

[@FalloutUrMum]

As a Hurricanes fan, I'm worried what the Guentzel deal will mean for us retaining other players and what it would mean for us long term, because he's not going to be worth it the full 8 years like some alternatives (Necas) for that deal would. And Guentzel alone doesn't replace the players we'd lose to make that work

There's so much movement going on you've got no chance to grow attached to a team the same way as in, say football (vel 'soccer'). At least if you don't have a club in your area :)

I like Jake, but he isnt a 10 million player. If he goes to a team without a big name 1C, i fear he could become Huberdeau 2.0

[@BrotherAlpha]

Zadorov's regular season was worth just over $4 million. Including his playoff performance, he's worth just over $5 million. He's going to get $6 million on July 1st, maybe even $6.5 million.

[@AndrewTannerMusic]

Anything more than 7 million per year is too much for Guentzel, but GM's are st00pid and overpay for players all the time. This won't be any different. He'll get around 8.5, but again, it's gonna be too much and we'll be talking about it in the next couple seasons. Just my $0.02

[@TheHockeyGuy]

Oh he is getting more than 8.5 million a year.

3M for a 3rd pairing dman is wild and the 3 year term is a yikes. i could see 1 year at 3m but 3x3?

[@kaptaan_original]

Cap is going up next several seasons and 3 mil will be normal in year 2 and cheap in year 3.

Nice to see MacKinnon get rewarded. I would take him and his 2022 Cup over Cup-less MacDavid every day of the week.

He won because anti Russian sentiment. Kucherov was robbed.
