We might be interested in Jordan Harris, but we're not interested in Joel Edmundson. If the latter is such a good mentor, you guys should keep him to mentor Guhle, Xhekaj and Hutson . . . Drew Doughty and Alex Edler are better mentors than Edmundson will ever be.

Caps pass. Harris definitely isn't worth that and even if he was they are loaded at LHD with Fehervary, Alexeyev, and Johansen signed with Orlov most likely being re-signed.

In 24/25 Dubois will have either signed a mid to long term contract with the Jets, meaning you have no shot at him or will have been traded elsewhere this coming summer, meaning you'll have to try and pry him from his new team.

Caps say no.

In this scenario, the trade happens at this upcoming draft, for the exact reasons you mentionned.

Okay, then if you upgraded Dvorak to an upper end prospect as Dvorak has little value to the Jets and added a little more you might be in the running. Right now you're offering a less than Horvat returned as a rental and expecting the Jets to wait a year for a late first. I'd imagine they say no and move PLD to a teams offering a deal built around a 23 1st.

Washington, while not having them contracted right now, has Alexeyev and Fehervary as RFAs with team control, I don't see them considering dealing a first round pick for Harris currently, and frankly I don't think any team would. Romanov was a much more enticing player to teams with his hitting and physicality, I don't think there will be another team to go head over heels for a defenseman now as opposed to a defenseman in the draft at that spot.

Bro at least read the trade properly lmao its a 23 first

Sorry, my post was made before you changed it.
