Trading valuable assets to acquire him, on the other hand, we're going to pay a LOT and Ovie's best years are already behind him. They wouldn't be trading him if they weren't.
Which is why paying a LOT is not necessarily true. The Caps will not be able to command players like Monahan, Gaudreau, Tkachuk.

I look at the Rick Nash trade as the best comparable.
