PuckPedia Cap Central 2/26: NHL Trade Deadline Talk + Penguins / Avalanche Trade

For Episode 12 of PuckPedia Cap Central, Hart Levine and Keith Kavanaugh quickly recap the Olympic hockey tournament where USA captured the gold medal over Canada (1:00).

They dive into the trade that happened the other day where the Pittsburgh Penguins sent Brett Kulak to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Sam Girard and a 2nd round draft pick (5:00). Pittsburgh now owns 16 draft picks in the first 3 rounds of the next 3 drafts. Colorado on the other hand now has over $10M in projected cap space before the Trade Deadline.

Then they talk about the Oilers cap situation, as Hart predicted just how it would play out (14:00). The Oilers sent Matthew Savoie to the minors, activated Adam Henrique from LTIR, then accrued just enough cap space to call Savoie back up to Edmonton without missing an NHL game. The Oilers now only have $10K in current cap space.

They also talked about the unfortunate Kevin Fiala injury, who is out for the season after getting injured for Switzerland in the Olympics (20:45). The Kings could place Fiala on LTIR, but they would have no cap advantage to doing that as they have $13M in current salary cap space. Hart discusses what moves LA could make to optimize their salary cap and potentially weaponize their cap space.

They wrap up the show talking about how they envision the Trade Deadline playing out over the next week or so, and if we will see some big names like Robert Thomas, Nazem Kadri, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Patrik Laine on the move (27:00).
