Description

More than anything, I believe the Caps' ceiling is limited because the other powerhouses in the East all have better top end talent. Adding Kane to it really gives this team one last kick at the can. The power play will improve exponentially, and the 5v5 play will be much more puck dominant. I'd be okay with giving up one of McMichael/Lapierre to get it done. I know that's an unpopular opinion, but I can't see either of them reaching their ceilings as Capitals.

From what I have seen in other offers, the trade would likely be something like McMichael/Lappierre, 2023 First rounder, and maybe a contract with another depth pick or something. Still a price you would be willing to pay?

Kane would be a nice get for them, but I wonder if they will be in a position that would convince Kane to want to join.

The caps definitely seem like a better fit than a lot of teams in terms of Kane fitting into the lineup. Kane setting up ovechkin can be absolutely ridiculous

would still much prefer someone they could reasonably extend like Hertl, would be completely fine w/ McMichael + 1st for Kane. You are right that another truly elite forward is what they need rn
