Hagelin for a small contract or two seems fine to this Caps fan. Don't see him having positive or negative trade value. The short term tenacity, PK skill, speed, and playoff experience cancel out the contract risk, long term. If you want Hagelin, neither of these teams has $20 of cap space, and I think WSH probably isn't retaining for the next two seasons to move a guy they're comfortable playing anywhere in their bottom nine.
Not sure about that other stuff in there. I keep seeing Nylander to WSH offers, which makes sense because he grew up there and Nick Backstrom helped teach him to skate. But here's where I'd estimate the value has to be to get the Caps interested: Nylander+1st+2nd+some prospects=Ovechkin if Toronto's on his list and negotiations on his extension break down. Nylander+1st+Hyman=Wilson+some contracts to balance cap. Nylander+cap balancing little contract=Kuznetsov+2nd. Nylander=Oshie+1st+little contracts to balance cap. Oshie's got more term left than Hagelin, but Oshie is on a 57 point pace this year, as usual, and does okay in the playoffs.
Not sure either of these teams has a spot for Dermott right now, but he should be easy to flip for a 3rd.
