Description
I'm not a big believer in Caps have to make any moves, especially if it costs them a good pick or prospect. But if they do want to get a new 2RHD then DeMelo makes the most sense. He's good, young, cheap, and underrated. Wouldn't mind taking a waiver at him.

Djoos is a very good NHL defensemen stuck in the minors due to money. He's cost controlled and a RFA. He'd instantly be OTT 2nd best defensemen (I'd take him over everyone but Chabot). The 3rd can be conditional on if DeMelo re-signs or not.

For Caps they can try DeMelo out on Orlov's right side. Jensen is good as a 2nd pair dman but he hasn't lived up to the hype coming out of DET. I don't know who I would sit between Sieg, Gudas, and Jensen. All good and deserve to play.

Caps don't need to make any moves at forward.

I think OTT would want at least a 2nd - they seem to like DeMelo so would probably have to sweeten it for them to trade him. But, all in all, this deal makes sense if OTT does go that route. - they would get back a 2nd/3rd + a young defenseman that has shown signs that he can be a real NHL player. Not bad.

I think that Gudas is better than Jensen, at least this season. He adds that physical play we need on the back-end, and is an effective penalty killer. I'm not super high on Jensen, but I think he's at best a fringe 2nd pairing guy. Probably not a 2nd pairing guy on a Stanley Cup contender though.

I like the idea of DeMelo, but would jettison Jensen and have the pairings go Siegs / Carly, Kempny / DeMelo, Orlov / Gudas, with Fehervary as 7th man
