Washington won't move Dowd unless they get something like a 2nd back.

Leafs decline both trades. TVR is easily worth the price you set here but I don't believe he is the right target for the Leafs.

Robertson has more value than a 3rd. I personally don't want to Leafs to trade Robertson. I like him Alot.

Tampa blocks your number
I'd take a chance on Bear personality especially for someone who will probably never ever seen his ELC but the isles aren't the right team

Caps pass on all of those UFA signings, except maybe Kubel.

No way they trade Oshie. He'll retire this summer anyways.

Caps would get WAY more for Dowd, Lindgren and TvR.

They're not trading for a goalie.

Zero room for Oshie, need to prioritize other UFAs

Pretty much none of this is truly ideal for Washington. The caps would be selling low for no reason on Dowd, TvR, Lindgren, and Bear, when they still have the cap space for at least two of them in this scenario, and it's especially not worthwhile to trade Dowd for scraps when his replacement is Tierney. On the other side, the Oshie trade is an overpayment by Tampa and it won't happen anyway, since Oshie has a modified NTC and wants to finish his career in Washington. The Markstrom trade makes little sense to Washington as they would be replacing Lindgren with a more expensive and older goaltender in Markstrom with similar stats, so there's no use throwing away Lindgren just to spend a 1st on someone with what I can only explain as "name brand" value. Brodie and Timmins aren't too enticing either, Alexeyev has been a good 3LD which makes Brodie unnecessary, and Washington isn't foolish enough to trade a defenseman to Toronto for peanuts just to turn around and then send more to the Leafs for another defenseman when they can just keep Van Riemsdyk who is already a reliable option. Finally, 6.75 for Stephenson would be high risk for a player who's a half a point per game this season, and doesn't really make sense when you factor that the Caps are paying less for Strome and that it forces DC to put Miroshnichenko on the 4th line, which makes no sense for his development.

I don't see the Caps getting Markstrom.
