Take Boyd and the picks out of this deal and "maybe" the Caps do it to relieve salary, maybe...but not with Boyd in there. Caps brass loves him or they would have flipped him last year.

Completely agree. The Caps are giving up the best two players in this trade, the best pick, and the best contract. What am I missing?

Except that Boyd is top 100 in points/60 and in cost/point, and there's a salary cap. Ritchie seemed like a great bargain when he signed that deal, but Boyd's really doing great on offense this year, and some of his more obscure stats are just off the charts good. So, no. Definitely won't happen. Stop trading Boyd.

well but by those efficiency statistics...rocco grimaldi is the best player in the league...smh. Don't just look at weird stats that prove your point. you have to understand asset management. Burk's value is submarining and it won't rise anytime soon. Ritchie is having a great year and plays hard and physical and can provide stability to that third line. Something which has been hard to attain this season. To get a player who is solid night night out and on a great contract, i'd take that over boyd and burky any day. You gotta understand that hockey is not necessarily an efficiency game. Its a marathon. Don;t talk to me about p/60 ..those are nonsensical and ignore the fact that players have to be durable for large swaths of time night in night out.
