Only issue is caps have eller who is a great #3 center swap Shaw out with maybe a solid center or d prospect and it could work
Only other issue is that unless the Caps are trading Ovechkin, they have no power play time available at the left point, even for Orlov or Djoos. Beaulieu could do great in ECHL South Carolina. Definitely do not want him in Hershey taking power play time away from Lucas Johansen. At evens he's -20 this year, with one more goal, one less assist, and two hundred less hits than Orpik. But he's younger, so he must be better? Nah. That's a cap dump. And on most Habs builds, Schlemko's a cap dump. On many, Shaw is a cap dump.
So you're saying the Caps should trade Holtby for O'Reilly (which Buffalo does not want) and then trade O'Reilly for cap dumps and two second round picks.
I think the Caps can get a better offer.
Buffalo's fanbase on here appears evenly divided between the haters who post radical roster demolitions and think O'Reilly is a cap dump, too, and the patient fans who read the comments of other fanbases' trades for O'Reilly and point out that he should not be traded because he's got twenty goals, a ton of assists, and decent possession numbers on a team with awful defense this year.
The net effect is like watching someone argue with themself.
Players Washington could use from Buf, whom I totally agree Buffalo should not trade: O'Reilly, Ristolainen, Nylander,
Guys Buffalo fans in comments sections have said they want from any other team:
Does that clear things up?
