Gm Hesla and GM Dave made a shakeup deal to hopefully kickstart a couple players..

To Washington:

Andrej Meszaros - D
Jason Garrison - D

To Columbus

Martin Havlat - F
Cash

This deal boils down to a couple things for the Capitals.

1) Havlat started out hot, but has only a handful of points in his last 11 games.
2) Washington's average age on D was almost as old as Cheese. We needed a solid young Dman to fill the void (Meszaros leads the NHL in +/-)

This does leave us with a need for a 2nd line winger.. so on block goes Brett Clark, Marek Zidlicky and Sheldon Souray.
