Caps couldnt decline fast enough

You're asking for a top 10 pick from an absolutely loaded draft and a current NHL player for an $8m cap hit player who's a 2c on most teams who make the playoffs. You want those two players, that hertl trade is 50% off. which wont happen because no team would retain for 6 more years.
You're also asking for another top prospect for duclair while at 50% off, who couldn't find a single contender to offer him a multi year deal.
I like duclair, and i think the flat cap squeezed him out, but that would be worse than erat for forsberg.

Lmao both teams say keep dreaming

This is obviously a no from NYR

No way Caps trade Leonard.
