PANARIN

Goalies are far more important than wingers, especially when u have freakin ovechkin. Keep holtby, if you can more someone else like Orlov/oshie and vrana to make room go for it but consistency in net is far more important

Agree goalies are important but Caps can't afford Holtby after 19 and future (Samsonov) needs another year. Riitch part of a trade makes sense. I like the trade, love Anderson, the pick and might gamble on the Czech goalie. Not sure how Flames afford Holtby. Panarin is a pipe dream. Going to one of the coasts where he can be the big dog. Would rather resign Vrana, Hagelin, Burky and Connolly with Holtby money.

Well DC is on the coast. And obviously he'd be with some of his Russian friends.

Holtby is gone after next year (can't afford extensions for both he and Backstrom) and frankly outside of the 2018 postseason he hasnt looked great for the past two years.

Well then you'd have to make a trade for a better goalie, possibly involving hotly while you have him because it is one of if not the most important facet of your team
