Thank god it didn't. Ouch. I vaguely recall something from Friedman about this.

Not sure how close or realistic it was, but man, Blues would have looked good today.

I think it was speculative. We missed the playoffs in 2015 for the first time in about 12 years which probably had Wilson interested in trading the future for present - luckily we didn't because we went to the finals the following season with Hertl having his breakout year and if he hadn't missed most of the Pens series we might have taken it to 7 games instead of 6...(sigh)

Man, Caps fans should be jumping for joy that this didn't happen. I don't know if they win in 2018 without Oshie on the team, or realize they need to make different moves after the Shattenkirk trade blows up in their faces.
