New GM should trade Ovechkin while his value is still high

[darkbrew*]

This team needs new life and new blood. Need a full cleaning house of all of the old atmosphere with no accountability. Trade Ovechkin for futures at the draft and young players ready to play in the NHL. Ovechkin still has huge value for a few more years before a decline and now is the time.

Go back to the Pens boards and worry about Cbus, troll.

Just stop. Now if we get a good D around him and a proper coach with a style and philosophy and he still doesn't care defensively then maybe you have a point but no way in hell is this team winning without Ovi and that's no matter who they would get for him in a trade.

This isn't your board, so I don't blame you for not knowing, but we actually already have a thread for discussing trades: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1631887

Where and for what? Backstrom too...right?

Ovi is a liability 5 on 5. Strip him of the C and maybe his game gets better, but there has rarely, if ever been a less impressive 50 Goal season.

Backstrom doesn't have sky high value. The haul for Ovechkin would be crazy, like two firsts, and two young impact players ready to play now.
