Source: Washington Getting Set to Announce John Carlson Signing I really am surprised by how the Caps could make this happen...They made a great trade yesterday to clear space... eklund

That trade went both ways. The avalanche one way or the other won’t be paying all of the cap space they picked up in the trade.

With this Carlson off the market I wonder if that bumps up some of the offer for the other Karlsson?
