Thread: 2016 Kessel trade on steroids
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>I think that what they have right now is still a Stanley cup contending team. I think this team right now is actually quite similar to 2018, with a great top 6, actual depth scoring, Value defense that gets stuff done, and a reliable goalie tandem. I'd rather have pieces for the future in the back pocket so that the Caps can have replacements ready in case guys like Oshie fall off. I just don't see mortgaging the future here paying off. Maybe in a year or two you see these trades but I don't think the window is as short as people think. We've seen the Caps make plenty of moves for offense over the years but they almost always fall to pieces in the postseason.

I don't see Kane waiving his NMC anyway, and while Chicago has a new gm I still expect them to be quite stubborn with moving a franchise face.

I agree with the value for the ducks, I just don't think Murray wants to trade him right now.</div></div>

im impatient with Mantha bc of what we gave up to obtain him but ill be interested to see how he does with Backy who , imo, is a top 10 playmaker in the league. hopefully they can make a push

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>I'd rather not make this trade. I don't see it being worthwhile to trade the amount they would need to get Kane, and I don't see him being enough of an upgrade to justify it. If they did, I would think they send CMM instead of Lapierre, but overall I don't see it being super beneficial. Add to that the news that players such as Kane probably knew about the ****show going on in Chicago with Aldrich, and I don't think they touch that since there could be repercussions for it.

As for the Steel trade, I doubt the Ducks are looking to move him at this time.



Contrary to many other Caps fans, I actually think Kane and Ovi on a line wouldn't be that good, as that line needs some grit that WIlson brings, and in my opinion Kane would take goals away from Ovi.</div></div>

Patrick Kane would 100% be the catalyst to the Capitals winning the cup. Depending on what you want... for Washington. They got the 1 cup but more than likely will never achieve that again with the current roster BUT will be steadily good for the foreseeable future OR do you want them to try to win 1 more cup while also becoming an offensive powerhouse helping ovechkin score as many goals as possible while he still is able to (age is a factor most cases) . imo i would rather go for it then suck and become a lottery team than to be middle of the road for the next 10 years.... cups are forever and who knows the next time a player like ovechkin will fall to the Capitals?


Talked to some duck fans and they said his value is roughly a late 2nd
