Default Should we be going for Ovie?

I would expect that the Caps would want a good young player that's already NHL established as a star, plus a high end prospect or two.

So, and I clearly wouldn't do this, a Monahan, MT and Fox type of package. for Ovie and a add on of some type.

I however don't think that juice is worth the squeeze, but it would certainly leave Vegas out.


I just don't think some people get the value of taking salary, giving youth, and giving cost certainty in today's NHL.

There is just no way that we even do Monahan for OV, never mind MT and Fox.

I understand you weren't advocating it, but the value level is just so wrong...

Making these big player trades in today's NHL is really hard if you aren't looking at a Weber/Subban or Jones/Johansen kind of deal.
