Player Discussion: Who are your current must-have Capitals?

[FloridaCap]

Ovi - #1C - Ward
Mojo - #2C - Kuz
Chimera- Latta - Wilson
Fehr - Laich - Brown


Alzner - Carlson
#3D - Orlov
Schmidt - Carrick

Let this roster play for 40 games then makes adjustments.

That lineup is downright disgusting. I think I can count the amount of surefire NHL talent on one hand.

 

[butters8814*]

Ovi, kuz, alzner, carlson wilson. With the caps being so under the cap coming up and a good prospect pool, Lets hope next season this team could finally be good

 

[KevinM]

The only must-haves in my mind are Ovechkin, Backstrom, Kuznetsov, Carlson, and Alzner. Grabovski too if the price and term is right.

 

[ryan519*]

Ovie
Backstrom
Carlson
Alzner
Ward
Chimera
Fehr
Kuznetsov
Wilson
Holtby
Orlov

If we can, I'd like to see stastny at the 2C, maybe for a trade involving mojo Brouwer and some picks
Pretty clear green's ass needs to be dumped, trotz should see that right away

Also looking at most of your lists, did u guys forget how great our third line was ES? Only line that worked their ***** off every night. We should keep them

We should keep them, agreed, but they aren't "must-have" to me. I wouldn't lose sleep if they were dealt.

 

[Hivemind]

Ovechkin
Holtby

 

[Blades of Steel]

MUST have? ugh.. thats tough.

Id go with Alzner / Carlson / Ovechkin

I'm not even sure I'm confident that any player we have is a MUST have anymore, I don't think id be too upset if any single player was traded now days, but the return better be worth it.

--------------------------- we won't find a better option for any of those players. They exist but realistically defensemen in their prime who have played at allstar level,a #1 center and Ovi like production don't come available.

 

[ryan519*]

I think it would be fairly easy to move green for a good return. Make a trade with st.louis who need more offense which green can supply, and are overloaded in defense, so they could take the hit in defense green also supplies for that offense

Package him with mojo or Brouwer, a pick, try and land shattenkirk

That would be a horrible trade for Washington. Just keep Green if that's what you'd do with him.

There is no way that Shattenkirk is that much better than Green. I'm not even sure he's any better than Green at all.

 

[ryan519*]

Who the hell else would the blues give up? Forget pietrangelo, maybe bouwmeester for that veteran d presence. Doesn't have to be blues but makes sense to make some offers with them

I mean honestly who would u guys realistically want for green? At least shattenkirk was part of a very solid defensive system

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

It doesn't make sense at all to offer him to the Blues.

Pietrangelo is a ton better than Green and Shattenkirk is very good and on a better contract. A right-handed puck moving defenseman is about the last thing they need. They need a 1C and/or and alpha scorer.

Vancouver, Dallas, Anaheim, and San Jose are some teams that make a lot of sense to target.

 

[Hivemind]

TBH, I'm a pretty big Shattenkirk fan.

Like who, vlasic?

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Like who, vlasic?

They won't trade Vlasic.

But from those teams (outside of futures):

Vancouver - Any of Kesler, Edler, Hamhuis, Garrison, Bieksa if they'll waive.
Dallas - Daley, Dillon
Anaheim - Cogliano
San Jose - Thornton, Marleau if they'l waive

It's almost pointless to speculate on trades without any idea who's interested or who's available.

Daley's a beast. I'd love to have him in DC.

 

[ryan519*]

I feel like roman Josi wouldn't be too far fetched

 

[Paddis]

I can't see Nashville moving Josi, he's valued too highly in Nashville. If they were to let him go, it would have to be for overpayment and top offensive talent. Can't see them giving up Josi for the likes of Mojo, Brouwer etc. He's on a great contract and averages 26,5 minutes every night with Weber.

If Anahiem offered Beauchiman and one of Etem/dsp/Rakell for Green and Brouwer/mojo would you do that?

Carlzner
Beau Orlov
One of the many third pair options.

Beau and Rakell for Green and Brouwer would be a heck of a deal. we might have to throw in a late round pick though

Really?

Ask any Nashville fan and 99% of them say that they would rather trade Jones than Josi, despite the huge potential he has. Some of them even say that Josi was better than Weber at times last season. You need to give up pretty quality forward if you want to get Josi because he's that highly valued there and that's what the Predators need. Not draft picks or more grinders like Brouwer.

 

[Hivemind]

I don't see it unless they get a quality LHD back (which we don't have spares). Weber, Jones, and Ellis are RHD. If they trade Josi, their #1 LHD would be Del Zotto.
