1.4 million dollar cap hit
it's basically free insurance for the caps...almost no risk |

Tanner,
Since you're the guy who knows the Yotes better than anyone here, do you see the Caps being a serious player for Hanzal? Caps don't necessarily need him, but it could be a move that puts them over the top. Plus, reports have said teams are more willing to deal a 1st with the draft being weaker and it wouldn't hurt the Caps to deal their 1st assuming they have a deep playoff run. |

If you can somehow get past the 2nd round with Gilbert playing half of those games, they can have a god damn 1st round pick. |

If the Caps are going to buy, I see them going more for a fourth line upgrade or replacing Alzner in the top-four. Hanzal is an upgrade over Jay Beagle, but He's not going to take away minutes from Backstrom, Kuznetsov or Ellar, so I doubt there's any point in going for him. |

Hahah. If Gilbert was forced onto the third pairing, I'm sure he could hold his own. Seems like a good insurance policy. |

And the Caps get SLOWER - rangerdanger94
I doubt he'll play much. I also don't think the Caps are particularly slow. |

This strikes me as a deal for a player they could expose in the expansion draft, and nothing more. |
