Better be willing to throw in another pick and prospect if they're gonna take on the contract of almost equal value for decrepit Brooks Orpik.

Nah that package is enough. He only has 1 year left. You’re basically getting 4 first rounders. Burakovsky, Johansen, then the 2 actual picks. Nice try though

A) I don't believe this rumor, and
B) I don't believe this rumor, also
C) If you're acquiring Karlsson...you 1) make him your bonafide #1 d-man (not a 3rd pairing), and 2) trade John Carlson to get a 1st rounder back while his lazy ass stock is high, and 3) you move Bowey to 3RD where he belongs...

There's too many things to this deal that would really disrupt the Caps unless you've got follow-up moves on deck. Sorry.

laugh Orpik is pure garbage no way any of those pieces get you Erik Karlsson, Just about any other team out there could easily beat this offer.

Who care's if he's reliable? Those pieces aren't going to get you Erik Karlsson that's the bottom line.

laugh That is an NHL 18 trade if I've ever seen one. This guy isn't reliable. You can believe him if you want but he is almost guaranteed to be nothing but a bored teenager who wants followers

Let's look at this from an opportunity cost perspective: if the Caps trade and take on Erik Karlsson, it reduces the odds of John Carlson re-signing in Washington next year. Is Karlsson slightly better as a two way player? Most years, yes. Sure. But two first round picks, Burakovsky, and Carlson better? You're giving up four first round picks to kind of tweak one of them around the edges.

Pass.

Now, if Ottawa wants to trade and extend John Carlson, the Caps would happily throw in a little more to get Karlsson, and not have to worry about losing Carlson for nothing next summer.

Before there was a salary cap, the Ducks and Wings each made a habbit of stacking three #1 RHD at the deadline for the playoffs. It worked pretty well some years. In the salary cap era, I think the Caps need a #2LHD more than they need a third #1 RHD.

Trades for Green and Karlsson are cool from a total talent perspective, but in terms of team needs, they want someone who can rival Dimitry Orlov for time on the left side of their top pairing.

Frankly, as unglamorous as it sounds, the Senators defenseman the Caps are more likely interested in is Dion Phaneuf.

I'd rather they get OEL, or Duncan Keith, but realistically...
