You get the quintessential 4th line center and best penalty killer on the Caps...on a slam-dunk value deal, and great all around team guy to boot...the Caps get what amounts to about the 88th pick in the follow year draft, and an over paid depth D-man they do not need, because they are probably going to have to shed Jensen's over paid contract to make way for Iorio to come up.

I think the Caps pass here. Dowd cannot be replaced by anyone in Hershey, or a 3rd round pick...and doubling the cap hit here for Kulak's sake makes zero sense.

Too old, too slow.

I'd genuinely rather let Dowd play out his contract and walk in free agency than trade him for that
