Somehow turn boyd into a better prospect and add an extra pick for taking Orpik’s contract, and you might just b in business

Boyd Barber and Stephenson are really all the same player. Top 9 solid forwards

This is artificially high because you're bidding against Tampa. So Washington loses a ton at teh deadline, and then loses a ton this summer when Carlson walks. Just trade Carlson to Tampa for two firsts, then with no competition, offer NYR Orpikand Djoos for McDonagh. If they say no, offer the same package for Edler and MDZ, for OEL and Schenn, and on down the line. No luck? Maybe throw in a 2nd and start again.

A cap dump, 2 blahs, a minor leaguer and a late 1st. No thanks for McD, never mind both...
