    That WPG deal is terrible for the Caps.

    Kings need scoring. I'd love to get Carlson, but we are looking to move a damn ourselves.

    Carlson could bring back so much more than Pearson dude. We're essentially trading Holtby and MOJO for Wheeler? Not happening. Why on earth would Vegas give us two picks for Brooks Orpik? And there's no way that Nashville takes that trade.

    I think you aren't giving wheeler enough credit. He would immediately come in as the caps second highest points per game scorer, Hutchinson provides us with a back up goaltender, and overall the move frees up a good amount of cap space, while allowing Grubbauer to assume the starter role he is capable of. Joel Armia is also much better then people give him credit for, and could prove to be a cheaper version of Mojo.

    As far as the Nashville trade, I think Ellen and Jarnkrok are relatively equal, but Johansen (our 2016 first round pick) and our 2018 first round pick are good compensation for Ellis. Nashville is never short on quality defenseman.
