I doubt that the Caps are going to be in a position to buy, especially at the expense of Lapierre and a second rounder. If the Caps were to deal a prospect/pick, it'd be for a younger full-time NHLer that either has term on their contract, or has team control through restricted free agency. Any trade to bring in a player that will play significant minutes will look a lot more like the Sandin trade with Toronto last year instead of Tarasenko on an expiring contract.
