The Caps don't need LD, particularly ones with big, longterm contracts like Chiarot. They currently only have Sandin under contract, but Fehervary and Alexeyev are both RFAs and will be re-signed, so the left side is full up. I can't see them trading down from 8 either. They're trying to compete while Ovie's still around, so they need high-end prospects more than filling out their system's depth. If they do trade the #8 it'd be in a trade for an elite young forward along the lines of last year's DeBrincat trade. I like Perron, but he's not that guy.
