Although the standings indicate that Karlsson should be available, Ottawa fans on here are having none of it.
As a Caps fan, I've been proposing Carlson for Theodore and Miller as an out-of-the-box but realistic trade deadline move, acknowledging that, while the Caps want to win it all in the next four years, the Golden Knights are better this year, running away with the West, and should push hard for a championship to help motivate some free agents to either come visit, or stick around, come summer. Other Caps fans think Carlson will re-sign cheaply to stay in Washington (in which case why hasn't he signed, yet?), or that the Caps can get more for him. I'm sure the Caps would drool at the thought of adding Marchessault, but I doubt it's happening.
Those trades for Green and Vanek are solid, and they'll add a bit more offense for the playoffs, as if Vegas needs more offense.
Sending Stoner to NYR makes sense: they've got three D injured. Vegas can get more than a 5th for him, fwiw. Maybe send Stoner and Sbisa for a 2nd and a 3rd. Don't wait 'til the deadline; New York will be sellers by then.
