Well the team is certainly older and more injury prone now

Well that Wilson trade is horrible. Robertson - worthless to WSH, Brodie - worthless to a team trying to get younger, a Late 1st is not enough. This is the wrong package and the value is pretty terrible for WSH, no chance in hell they trade Wilson for that crap.

If offered, let us hope Pegula would say yes.

"Robertson, young LW with high goal scoring upside - worthless. Brodie, worthless cause we're trying to get younger!" What buddy? Unless you guys re-sign Orlov, who's playing in your top 4 on the left side? Whos playing in your top 6 on the left side? And a first? For 1 year of Tom Wilson... Horrible trade

I thought thats what we were going for? People got confused thinking the Leafs were still young while being one of the slowest teams in the league so now we're gonna get slower this offseason

They really weren't slow, they look slow because they slow the game down. Try to turn it into a possession game where they grind you down in their zone. Beyond a couple of players, they aren't slow.

Robertson looks like he can't stay healthy. He might not be worthless, but his value is going to be low until he shows he can play more than 40 games in a season.

The Caps' left side is Sandin, Fehervary, and Alexeyev. Brodie is more of what the Caps already have in Fehervary, Jensen, and TVR, and his 5M cap hit would take up valuable room the Caps need to upgrade their forwards. Leafs fans include him in trades to the Caps all the time for some reason (I guess they look at the Caps D contracts and think they need a LD because they miss that Fehervary's an RFA), but he's a terrible fit in Washington and is probably worth less to them than he would be to just about any other team.

A 1st in 2024 for a year of Wilson isn't close. The Caps don't view him as a rental, they view him as a core piece and will probably have him locked up on a new contract within the first few days of July. Here's what Eliotte Friedman said about him in his podcast a couple days ago.
