As much as I don't like Sammy, he could be a decent back up for Charlie.

Other moves made to get younger and at the same time try and stay semi competitive.

Additional Details:
as much as I personally do not like Zegras. He is the right age and skill level we need to target.
ANA
  1. Iorio, Vincent
  2. McMichael, Connor [RFA Rights]
  3. 2025 3rd round pick (CAR)
Additional Details:
The Ducks get a promising winger/center who has played on the Caps first line majority of the season, and a promising RHD prospect along with a third for someone who has been demoted down the line up and needs to find a new home.
5.
WSH
  1. Huuhtanen, Niko [Reserve List]
  2. 2025 3rd round pick (TBL)
Additional Details:
Caps get a former 7th rounder back that has shown some good development in Europe.
TBL
  1. Shepard, Hunter
  2. 2025 2nd round pick (COL)
Additional Details:
Sheps been good to us but he needs a chance to be a legit back up in the league. Also Stevenson needs to be able to be the starter in Hersey to further develop. Tampa gets a guy who has proven he can play in the NHL as a back up and is on a dirt cheap contract which they need for the time being.

If you want Zegras, the offer starts with Leonard, you don't get high end talent for spare parts, and Zegras doesn't need to find a new home nor has he been demoted down the lineup. He played one game at 3C when he came back from injury to limit his ice time and then jumped straight back into the top 6.

CMC and Iorio are far from Spare parts. I personally dislike Zegras, but I could see the Capitals thinking about kicking the tires. There is no chance the Capitals give you Leonard for Zegras. If you want Leonard its Zegras +.

I can understand why you are high on him but there is no way you will be getting any teams best prospect besides like Toronto or Florida to get Zegras.

Iorio and McMichael are nothing special compared to prospects the Ducks already have, they're middle pair/middle 6 upside, we've got tons of those laying around. If you want a shiny new 1C that we have no reason to move and is under contract then you need to cough up an impact piece.

And no, you would be adding to Leonard, not us adding to Zegras.

I kind of like this...I think your trades are fair...but why not just keep McMichael vs Zegras?

If I am Washington I would go for Domi....he has been unreal with Matthews since they moved him up...I originally thought Marner could get Ovi to the record fast but I think Domi would be a great cheap option...Leaf fans are all posting low ball offers for him...show him some L$ve
