Trading a prospect and likely another 2nd for a 35 year old goalie, while also signing a 45 year old legend is a clear message they want to win right now. The expectation the fans were sold this summer is expect this team to be a contender.
A 6-2 Caps win would take the Flames to 5-7 and 1-5 at the Dome. The panic button could easily be pressed at that point.

How are the Caps not a top 5 team roster wise? They have Backstrom, our equal is...nope. They have Ovechkin, we can beat that with...nope. They have Kuznetsov, but we have...nope. They have oodles more talent up front, a solid back end and one of the best starting goalies in the NHL. They may not win the SC but they are sure built to do so and much more than we are.
