Something like Gaudreau and Kylington for Vrana and McMichael?
Seems like a stretch though with Vrana kind of breaking out last season, but Gaudreau at his worst was still better than Vrana at his best (so far) so I don't know.

McMicheal would be my #1 target, and might be available because of Kuznetsov and Backstrom both signed to big money (MNTC) contracts extending another five years. He is essentially blocked.
Adding Gaudreau would also push Vrana down to the third line, and stunt his growth and ice time.
I could see Washington going all in for a couple of years of :
Ovechkin - Kuznetsov - Wilson
Gaudreau - Backstrom - Oshie
that is honestly terrifying. Calgary might have to add a Kylington plus a mid-pick, but honestly I think it's a win-win for both teams.
Plus, as someone else pointed out, Connor McDavid vs. Connor McMicheal.
