Don't think it's smart for Washington to get in on a Forsberg type player. Besides the obvious overpayment for a guy thats never ever had a 65 point season, the finances don't add up.
Washington would have about $15M in cap space in the off-season to re-sign Ovechkin, Vrana, and Samsonov plus make additions to other areas. There's not enough money to go around when Ovechkin gets at least $10M of that space, Vrana is due for a good raise to likely $5M-$6M, and Samsonov will want a good chunk for being the teams clear starter.
