TRADE
To WSH: Cody Eakin, 3rd RD Pick
To DAL: Philip Grubauer, Zach Sill
Dallas needs a goalie, Grubauer is an underrated goalie.

To EDM: John Klingberg
To DAL: Darnell Nurse, Laurent Brossoit, 1st RD Pick
I know Klingberg is an elite puck mover, but he is too high-risk, also way over-matched in his own zone.

To CBJ: Kari Lehtonen ($2M retained)
To DAL: Josh Anderson

I like the first trade. Makes sense for both teams because I believe Dallas will be losing Eakin and Washington will be losing Grubauer to the expansion draft.

Considering the Caps dont have a NHL ready goalie behind Grubby (AHL starter is 21yrs old Rookie) and the fact they already possess (arguably) the best 3rd&4th Lines in hockey right now, Eakin doesn't really bring anything to the team they don't already have~ I don't see them agreeing to this one.

That 2nd trade would be perfect for both teams.

Agreed. Eakin doesn't carry much value to us. If we didn't have Eller, maybe something like this might work. But Eller has been so good with Burakovsky and Connolly and Beagle is one of the most underrated players in the NHL, which means that there isn't any room for him and his cap hit.
