Hell yeah that’s all that kid wants to do is shoot!
Perfect! When can he start?
Jokes aside, WSH LHD depth chart looks like: Orlov (#2D), Dillon (works well on top pair with Carlson), Kempny (works well enough to win a Cup on top pair if healthy), Chara (still decent if he wants another shot at the title), Fehervary (had good puck possession in a few games this past year. Is ready for a regular spot), Alexeyev (recent 1st rounder, rookie of the month for January in KHL, then did pretty well in the AHL), Johansen (former 1st rounder, future bottom four guy, hopefully). They're set. (eta: I forgot Nardella!! Bobby Nardella is a guy they signed out of college who just led a Swedish team in points, and might also be NHL ready, along with everyone I just mentioned).
If Col is getting a goalie it can easily protect from expansion, WSH would probably want to get back an exempt RHD prospect. Or an exempt forward prospect. My favorite Vanecek offer, and it's a controversial one but I keep seeing it, is Liljegren and a late 2nd. Since the Caps have no RHD prospects under contract, that addresses a need, and the pick is just a great bonus.
