I know it sounds ridiculous but the idea definitely has some merit this off season...

They need to sign Kuzya and Oshie or they run the risk of loosing both. This team will be a totally different team without both of these players and is arguably better with both of them without ovechkin.

I'm curious to see if anyone agrees... It would be incredibly difficult for him to be traded for fair value in the salary cap era but what would he be worth to avoid too much cap coming back to Washington?

No, i don't think so. I think he's actually good in the playoffs ... his team just isn't.

but would you rather take him and lose oshie and kuzya or take the two and lose ovie?

Well they wouldn't lose Kuznetsov, he's an RFA. I would lose Oshie and keep Ovi and Kuznetsov. And i'd rather have Ovi than Kuznetsov and Oshie anyway. And if i lost Kuznetsov it would be in a trade if i didn't think i could re-sign him, so i'd get a lot for him anyway.

Lol i wonder what would have happened if they really had traded him.
