<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qc14</b></div><div>I don't see this being a move the caps would make. Backstrom is not guaranteed to be out the entire year, and certainly not the next two years as well. Taking on Ekholm's contract would be a massive risk given that he's already 32 and has 3 more years. He is also a LD, of which the caps have much more organizational depth in Gustafsson, Johansen, Carlsson, Alexeyev. A move like this would only make sense if they move out Orlov, who at this point I think is a better player than Ekholm</div></div>

That's fair. I think Orlov is going to command some good money in FA -- maybe even more than EKholm is currently signed for. And I know Backy isn't guaranteed, but I think they should pull a Tampa and try game the system. It was between WSH and OTT for Ekholm, just thought it would help with Caps' playoff push.

I am more willing to pay the price for a top-10 goalie than for a winger.

I think I sent these in another thread a while back:

1. A 2023 1st round pick (top-5 protected, rolls to unprotected 2024 1st)
2. Blackwood
3. Your choice of Daws, Schmid, (or I guess Brennan)
4. Your choice of Walsh, Boqvist, Thompson, Zetterlund, McCarthy (or similar level prospect)

or

1. 2023 or 2024 2nd round pick
2. Blackwood
3. Your choice of Daws, Schmid, (or I guess Brennan)
4. Your choice of Foote, Holtz, Gritsyuk</div></div>

Keeping Sharangovich over Holtz would be a mistake IMO, need that low cap number Holtz will have for the next few years to keep young core together. I'm not huge on either option, but 2 feels much better than 1.
