Maybe if they were already stacked at C like Pittsburgh but most GM's I would think would certainly take Backstrom who might not be the elite sniper Ovechkin is, but is better at every other facet of the game.

Why would a GM take a play-maker over one of the best natural goal scorers - if ovi isn't there who would he be passing to? Ovi will score a lot of goals just on his own.
Although people say ovi is one dimensional - and i am no capitals fan the one thing I can say is that guy can dish it out i have seen countless of highlights of him just hammering guys - which is most of the time the furthest thing from the truth most other natural goal scorers are willing to do.
As for the hart I am with dubnyk. I like how everyone argues that basically the Canadiens are a bubble team without price - please they were in the conference finals last year from what i can remember - but the wild were dead in the water and now look at them - if there was one team I would not want to play in the 1st round it's minnesota. Finally the west is much harder than the east and since they acquired Dubnyk they have wone something like 6 more games then their nearest rivals - although he lost tonight - which is good for us.
