The Flames top line and top pair would make more than $35M on the cap which is almost 50%. The concern is what it does long term and if the Flames view adding Ovie for a year is worth risking losing other core pieces like Backlund or even worse a guy like Tkachuk in 2 years. Otherwise yeah I would gladly take him.

If the trade happened I would want the organization to flip Backlund this summer as i see no possible way they can keep him after adding a $9.5M player. Maybe to the Habs for Gallagher+ 2nd?

Forward group:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ovechkin
Tkachuk-Bennett-Gallagher
Ferland-Jankowski-Frolik
Bouma-Lazar-Hathaway
*Stajan taken by Vegas

Only concern is all 4 centers would be 23 or younger

Is ovi a rw?
