It is one of the more difficult positions for a gm however I do think some GMs can turn them into a very good team. You do have to build around AO, you knew that the day you drafted him!

You're probably right, but I think at this stage letting him run wild and letting him get away with no defence is killing the team. It's simply unfair treatment for the team and the rest of the players know that. They have to change the culture of that team, and to me that means making a trade for a solid 2 way star who will put Ovechkin as the second fiddle. Who that player could be, I don't know, but having him as the centre piece and playing by his own rules while others are disciplined does not create a good environment. Having him as the second fiddle would work wonders I'd think.
