I don't think the value of the Caps trade is bad at all, I just don't think it accomplishes what we need to get done. Greiss isn't the solution in net and our defense really hasn't been a problem. Kempny should be like #8 at best on the depth chart, so I don't think there's any pressure to upgrade there. We mostly just need some scoring injected in the top nine and Gagner isn't the guy to do that. It's also highly unlikely we move Hagelin just with how much Laviolette loves the Hagelin-Dowd-Hathaway line (and for good reason with the exception that Hagelin can't score to save his life).
