My thinking behind my proposal is this:
Ron Hainsey->We have Souray and Markov on the left side.
Marcel Hossa->Good potentiel but isn't consistent.Still Good value.
Richard Zednik->Will be replaced by Ovechkin himself
Mike Ribeiro->Higgins,Plekanec or UFA can replace him
1st round pick in 2004->We are getting Ovechkin!
1st round pick in 2005->We are getting Ovechkin!
We also have Jozef Balej,Andrei Kostsitsyn, Alex Perezhogin, Mike Komisarek, Plekanec, Higgins coming up with Bulis,Ryder,Sundstrom,Begin,ward and Langdon already in the lineup and wil cards like Korneev, Milroy , Ferland, Lapierre and Urquhart possibly becoming very good.
Do you think they would make the deal if one of the 1st round pick would be taken off?
Ovechkin-Koivu-Kostsitsyn
