Not only could EDM really use Dowd, but IIRC they could also use a 2RD (like Jensen). And of course, their goaltending isn't ideal. (Ship out Kuemper--who I think they had interest in before signing Campbell--or sell high on Lindgren.) Package 'em all together for a one-stop-shop trade experience!
That said, outside of a possible 1st, what does EDM have that the Caps would want (particularly, as I mentioned in a separate thread, if GMBM is looking for another Sandin-esque trade-deadline deal). Holloway? Broberg? I haven't followed/watched either of those guys, but from skimming the EDM boards, it seems like both are underperforming (albeit in less than ideal circumstances/deployment) to the degree that EDM might be ready to cut bait. Then again, from skimming the EDM boards, it also seems like they are untouchable, can't-miss prospects. So who knows. Not me!
