Description

Does WSH need to add to tempt Ottawa? Should they? What would it take that wouldn't hurt WSH's chances of winning again with Ovechkin?

Brady's really good at checking and pretty good at offense. He doesn't kill penalties yet, which is what Eller and Jensen excel at, so this trade makes the Caps better at some strengths but could make their PK a weakness. Can they fix that with other moves?

Ottawa, without Tkachuk, goes into another mini rebuild, picking top five the next two drafts. They unload Eller and Conor Brown for two more mid 1st round picks, plus. They trade Jensen and Tierney for a pair of 2nds and some prospects. They sign some rentals next summer and trade them at the next deadline for more picks. By the time they finish rebuilding, they're ready to contend for a while, but do their fans have the patience?

Tkachuk gets to contend all the way to free agency, and then join another contender, or stick around if McMichael and Lapierre turn out good, and he's having fun.

Win-win-win?
