(msn.com) The Washington Capitals are struggling offensively to open the 2023-24 season, and now they're reportedly interested in bringing in another forward with top-6 potential in Conor Garland. Per NHL insider Chris Johnston, the Capitals are among the teams interested in acquiring Conor Garland from the Vancouver Canucks, joining the Columbus Blue Jackets, Nashville Predators and other suitors.

Captain insano Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 12 hours ago, J-23 said: I still think Podkolzin will be a good middle 6 forward. Garland for something around Peeke. 1st, Hoglander, Beauvillier, + for Pesce, Lemieux No idea if that works for cap or if that's a fair offer, or what we do with Myers. Right side would look good. Though we probably are not in a position to be moving 1sts and our bottom 6 would not be good. Sign Kessel (very unlikely), good veteran that knows Rutherford and Rick. Just to be a placeholder on that 3rd line. Mikheyev - Pettersson - Kuzmenko Giuseppe - Miller - Boeser Kessel - Blueger - Rafferty Joshua - Suter - Lemieux Hughes - Pesce Cole - Hronek Soucy - Peeke I have made this mistake a few times myself “lafferty” lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 There will be some teams who struggle early in season and Washington is a prime example of that now. They probably should rebuild but can't as long as ovechkin is still playing. I don't mind MGMT exercising patience. Garland is drawing interests so we shouldn't need to bend over to move him. And he has been playing well with his limited ice time. Who does Washington have on their roster that might be of interest for us though?

It would be awesome if we could turn Garland into a RD option that is an upgrade for us. We're just missing that one piece to make our D a strength as compared to a dicey mystery. Hronek has been solid and he's a good addition seeing how weak we are a RD. Cole has been a really strong add. Soucy is getting better as he goes and adds a missing element or two. Hughes is a stud and a rock out there. It would be very exciting. C'mon Allvin get it done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventy7 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I’d be happy moving Garland for a “Truculent” bottom 6 forward with similar term and also save a few $$ on the cap. Highly Doubt we get a dman in this deal. Edited October 22, 2023 by Seventy7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh too. They’ve lost quality guys like Tanev, Rodrigues and haven’t yet found suitable replacements. Market might make it a bit costlier now than normally…? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hope Podz can be one of the wingers, although I doubt it'll be this season. Bains maybe too... But even if the price goes up, getting g rid of Garland and Beau should free up a bit $ to at least get one winger and a rhd... If we want to make a push, I think, we really need this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of more tough two way guys complementing Petey, Miller, Mik, Kuz, Boes, Hughes, and Hronek, along with Blueger, Lafferty, and Suter as depth intangible guys. Would make us a tough out.

Grandmaster Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Sorry but I’m not retaining more than 1M to get rid of this guy. We already have the OEL buyout to deal with. Let’s just use him as a serviceable 3rd liner who can bump into the top 6 on occasion. He is not a bad player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what the reality of what we end up with though is Garland and a 3rd round pick out for a middling prospect from someone that doesn’t really move the needle in Abby either.

With our 3 year plan to become competitive, it makes sense to trade the 2025 first for a top 4 D or a power forward. Why would Arizona do this, though? Because Garland can still play up in their lineup. Potentially even in their top 6 far more regularly than with us. They also shed a year of contract at 4.3mill. And all in all, to do this of course the 1st rounder is great compensation for a downgrade on F to a team that isn’t yet going to be competitive in the window where they can maximize Crouse’s value to the club. I don’t know, just trying to think of how we escape the Garland contract without dead cap and still strengthen our roster. I’d love for us to get an RHD but I don’t want us to settle for another 6/7 who could end up a scratch next year. Only works if the salary coming back in Garland trade is minimal but I highly doubt that is going to occur. At least in getting a guy like Crouse we add some edge, grit, size, someone who is likely hungry for post season, some 3rd line offense, and can play up in injuries occur. We need these types of players badly. Sure we also need a RHD, but we can afford that once we shed Myers and allocate those dollars towards one. I think for now, we try to sign Bear, and use what we have and what may come off waiver wire. I like the idea of a Peeke or someone, but I not sure that gives us any propulsion forward. A guy like Crouse does much more, imho. Like some have said though, would rather use the 1st round pick towards another bonafide top 4 D. I just don’t know who’s going to give that up and for what extra cost on top of the pick. Would be shitty to lose any more prospects as part of a package but it seems that it’s going to be expensive whichever way we try to acquire that coveted Dman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
