They are need to rebuild. Getting younger winger who is still RFA a former first round pick ready to play some point next year and pick. That is alot to give up for often injured UFA.

Wilson is not often injured lmao what. He tore his ACL last playoffs and missed half this season, yes, but that's uh pretty understandable. His games played in every season since he entered the league:

13-14: 82 GP
14-15: 67 GP
15-16: 82 GP
16-17: 82 GP
17-18: 78 GP
18-19: 63 GP
19-20: 68 GP (Shortened season by COVID, played in all but 1 game)
20-21: 47 GP (56 game season)
21-22: 78 GP
22-23: 33 GP (torn ACL as I mentioned).

So again, not often injured. And the caps do not need to rebuild. If Wilson is injured so often in your eyes, don't trade for him.

They aren't rebuilding though. And if they were, they would trade Wilson for a 1st and top prospect, not a middle 6 winger, a good (maybe top) prospect, and a 2nd.

Most recent injury will affect his value. But the value you I gave is more then fair.

They are not doing a full rebuild but they are going to be doing a retool. I dont think they will resign Wilson he will have alot of suitors if healthy. Wilson value is tough to judge because he is best season is 50 points playing on the top line. He is no longer a top line winger. He brings physical aspect to the team that no one else in the league can bring. Olofsson will put up similar point totals and score 20+ goals. Rosen is one the top prospects in the league he just had a good rookie AHL season. And top 40 pick. The value is more then fair for a 1 year rental.

If they are retooling I believe this trade has more value to them then 1st and prospect. They got plug and play player, prospect that should be able to contribute net season and pick.

Wilson literally on Tuesday "I want to be here no matter what... I just can't imagine playing for any other team. I don't want that to happen."

Then a couple days before that the GM said he wants Wilson to retire as a Cap. Dude is the Caps next captain, very unlikely they trade him, and if they do, the return would be huge. 20 teams would be bidding for him.

We will see. He is not a the type of player you build around. He will need a a great supporting cast around him. I just dont see capitals making the playoffs anytime soon if they dont make some big changes. He is one of the players they can get value from and they need to do it know.

O for sure. I'm not saying he's a player you build around but he's a guy most teams would bidding high for.
