I'm not sure I entirely agree with your reasoning. I would like to see a younger lineup in the playoffs but I don't think it is necessarily what the team needs to succeed, or that it is the be all and end all. While I would like to see McMichael come playoff time, I don't think it is entirely the right decision to trade Eller right now. He is a great 3rd center and I would want to keep him in the lineup if possible. I would much prefer to put McMichael on the wing for the year and slowly bring him into a full time center role.

I'm not against a Hagelin trade, should the Capitals be confident enough in their PK, but I think you could get a 4th for Hags, as he is an elite penalty killer. I personally don't see the value in starting Protas right now, and if it is between him and AJF for injury issues I would rather play AJF.

Finally, I don't see the Caps sending down Cholo and I think that if they really need to, they will dump Irwin. I get this feeling as last game the Caps went with Cholo off the bench instead of Irwin.
