In a bubble yes of course you want Ovechkin.
Things you have to consider though are:
1. What are we giving up to acquire him?
2. Is he going to F off late next season for the Olympics?
Imagine giving up good young assets for him, and then just as the stretch drive to the playoffs starts next winter, he leaves the team to go play for Russia in the Olympics and then to the KHL because he would most assuredly be suspended by the NHL if that happened.
