Ovechkin might be one of the best goal scorers ever, but he isn't a winner. He has never made it past the 2nd round in 9 tries and with the teams Washington has had. If we want a Cup Ovechkin isn't the player I would add.

Ovechkin was dominant in last year's playoffs and he has 90 points in 97 games over his playoff career. Sometimes I think people forget how hard it is to win the Cup and how anything can happen in a seven game series. One hot goalie, a bad bounce, a missed call can sink your chances even if you're the favourite. I'd focus more on getting good players that help our roster instead of avoiding perceived "non-clutch" players because they might ruin our chances in the playoffs when we're there.
