Description

IF a trade happens, it will be because he has informed the team he won't re-sign long term. Assume for fun that happens and WSH is on an approved destinations list.

The obvious comp is Tkachuk -- I think that is both the type (less pure futures, more impact NHL vets) and size of a package that VAN would get. The Caps don't have Weegar or Huberdeau level guys, so they have to give up better futures.

IMO if this was an option Caps should 10000% do it. Rebuilds are for suckers when you can get an at minimum top 10 center in the league and you have the cap space to give him a blank check.
