Funny I was just about to make a armchair gm where Tarasenko becomes a Capital.
Idk maybe Eller, Burakovsky, and Bowey with the picks in season to make the cap work. Stephenson is practically an Eller clone.
I think Jensen will go to you guys too (or Nashville). You'll love him he's really competitive and takes advantage of his chances. He'll take off some pressure from Carlson and Niskanen.
Thanks, Breezy!
Yeah, I think Burakovsky and Bowey are more realistic building blocks for a trade, given Burakovsky is once again in the doghouse, and Bowey, while he has so much skill and potential, is still so young. A lot of teams prefer older guys on their blue lines for the playoffs, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Bowey traded for a top six forward, to a team that has an immediate top four opening for a phenomenal offensive defenseman, as the Blues will soon, if Leafs Nation has any say in the matter.
Adding Eller lets you bring Wilson back sooner, but so would adding Kempny who, on paper, is as good as Parayko this year. I may have posted a variation of that, recently, and I do think it's a little more realistic for Washington than the above..... but Sam was not excited about it.
