The caps are correctly not going to rebuild while Ovi is still with the team, and given that they have been a top 5 team in the league since thanksgiving, its not at all unreasonable to think they can still compete. They are not going to move Wilson -- who despite what people think about him is truly one of the most unique players in the league -- unless they are getting an immediate roster upgrade, especially if it is to a direct division rival.
I am completely serious in saying that any Wilson to the Devils trade would have to start with Luke Hughes, Nemec, or Bratt. A Wilson deal would have to be conditional on them getting better now or the futures being too good to ignore. Holtz is far from a bust, but clearly is 2-3 years off from being an impact NHL player. Caps don't have that kind of time.
