Bouwmeester has a no-trade clause...

[drewskiv]

So your saying he would rather be part of a rebuild than maybe a cup favorite next year

[Mystlyfe]

Hell no from Washington. Don't want that contract and certainly not when giving up a player or Johansson's quality.

I said he had a no-trade clause, that was it.

[Izzy Mandelbaum]

Bouwmeester is cursed

[butters8814]

No thanks from the caps.

Agreed. Not going near that contract or giving up Johansson for Bouwmeester.

Are the Caps trying to ink Wideman?

How about:

Bouwmeester - 29 - 6,680,000 for two more seasons

for

Jeff Schultz - 26 - 2,750,000 for two more seasons
2013 2nd
Patrick Wey
Rights to Wideman


You can't tell me Bouwmeester wouldn't be a massive upgrade on Schultz. You'd be getting that upgrade for less than $4 million more for two years.

Flames downgrade to Schultz, but recover a 2013 2nd, and get a project puckmoving NCAA d-man, who happens to be team mates with Johnny Gaudreau.


Caps ink Green and Carlson.

Green, Carlson, Bouwmeester, Alzner, Orlov

Pretty sweet group of D-men.

[BurnEmUp]

I'd like to add, that if the Flames were to do something LIKE this in trading JBo, they better be sure they can sign a Wideman, etc to help fill the void left by Bouwmeester.

Pass wideman isn't the answer to how to become a better defensive team, Shultz is a solid bottom pairing defenseman but not going to be enough to replace Jbo.

I don't see a problem with this trade. I doubt we will sign the likes of Suter or Garrison.

Only concern is staying under the cap. Semin's contract was replaced with a (slightly) cheaper one in Ribeiro. Wideman hitting the market would save us close to $4mil. Knuble and Halpern combined saves almost $3mil. I don't see Green/Perreault/Beagle getting a huge raise from their current salaries; Carlson might get a decent (but not too big) raise. Still some wiggle room but it depends on whether we go after a winger for the short term until some kids are ready to step in.

Id do it, will even throw in Stajan free.

You aren't a flames fan so stop talking about them. (please)

[drewskiv]

The flames need a center and as good as Johansson is he is now expendable

[MalcontentCapsFan]

This is hilarious

You realize he can play wing too right?

This isn't table hockey where a player is limited to one spot on the ice.

[SwedeSpeedBackstrom]

I'd do Schultz and Poti for JBouw but Calgary would have to agree to eat 25% of his salary. JBouw is a player nobody really wants.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Johansson's not going anywhere. He ended the year on Ovechkin's opposite wing, so the Ribeiro deal has very little to do with his situation.

[Mystlyfe]

FYI, contrary to some reports, Wey is not a puck moving defenseman. He's very much a stay at home defenseman.

[AmericanRocket91]

I could be wrong but isn't Forsberg playing another year or two in Sweden before coming over?....so why would the Caps trade a center for a prospect who won't be ready for awhile and isn't a for sure NHLer.

Right, because Johansson can't play wing and we've got Ribeiro locked up for the next 5 years.

What center prospect was being traded to the caps.

[MalcontentCapsFan]

If the Caps move MJ90 it would be in a package for a top line RW like Ryan or someone to play on Ovechkin and Backstrom's wing.

Caps have enough overpaid Dmen.
