What if instead of trying to get younger and faster, the Capitals tried to stock up even more size, toughness, and experience?

Could they make the playoffs?

We are not making the playoffs and be prepared for the negative comments of those trades

I don’t know if Crosby will ever experience the word “trade” in his professional playing career

Chara has signed with the islanders, And Marc Staal isn't waiving his NMC.

I figured. Cool new toy. Gave up such a formerly good player to get him. But someone from the Habs side asked about Schultz today, and I looked at just his basic stats, relative to other defensemen, and, seriously, he's pretty good.

Maybe worth a 3rd round pick

I agree and even if they did it certainly wouldn't be in the same division. If Pittsburgh didn't draft Crosby they most likely would've gone bankrupt.

Yeah. I guess that'd be too much to hope for, getting Crosby and Ovechkin together. Might be good, though.

Still sure about that? Did you see the Burns comments here? https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/521283?post_id=2736755

Had a chance to google "Lars Eller"?
