Mittelstadt for Holtby, Orpik and Trotz (culture trifecta).

You get Dahlin and Trotz makes you a defense and goaltending oriented club and Orpik whips your young defensemen into shape and you make the playoffs with a ~2 GAA guaranteed.

Grubauer should be cheaper after this playoff experience unless he is still played and turns it around. Thus Id rather trade for him. I like them both and both would be an upgrade on anything Buffalo has with Ullmark being a big wildcard in the whole picture.

Id probably offer the SJC Evander Kane conditional pick for either. Holtby is under a hefty contract for only 2 years so his value cant be that high. Grubauer I am a fan of but these playoffs he has not shown up so it would help in getting him for smaller return IMO.

A young rebuilding team like Buffalo isn't gonna trade away Casey M a top prospect.
And a competing team like the Capitals aren't going to trade their solid young Goalies for the sake of getting worse, either the deal improves the Caps or they don't make that deal, it's pretty simple actually.

The Caps aren’t undoing the Forsberg for old broken wheel trade.

It is simple, hence why there is a topic trying to find out if there is a win-win. Doesn’t mean Washington is getting the top three prospect in the league.

Of course. I have yet to see any Sabres fans make an offer in a topic they created.
