I like the sentiment of this trade, reminds me of the arms race with the Oilers back in the 80s.
Practically though it would be way too difficult to make a trade like that happen. Washington will need to look like they got a great deal for their captain. Flames couldn't sell too many of the pieces that they're relying on to make them contenders.
Ultimately the flames just don't have the expendable assets to make it work.
