<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krakowitz</b></div><div>There was the TSN report that the Caps are one of the few teams he'd likely want to go to, but I don't know how much value that holds. I think it's a situation he'd enjoy, being able to play with the greatest goal scorer ever and his old buddy in Strome. That power play unit would be unreal</div></div>

Yeah, there's certainly something there that could be attractive to him, but let's say they don't look like a lock for the playoffs or goaltending is suspect, or something else that might suggest to him that going there won't give him the best chance of winning. That's what I meant by it depends on what position they are in, are they in a position to win. If he thinks yes, then they might be an option or perhaps there's some more attractive locations.

I'm sure though he would love to be on that powerplay. I can also see him going to a playoff bound team that might not be a contender but that he's interested in signing with.

I think this is pretty solid. My only changes would be :

1) Hathaway won't be back: as much as Lavi loves his veterans, MacLellan has actually been pretty good about not re-signing middle six types right before they fall off a cliff (beagle, chiasson, dsp) and I think Hath will be able to get more money elsewhere

2) In this scenario where you re-sign Brown and let Jensen walk, they use up most of that 6.5m on a defenseman. Severson, Sanheim, Dumba, Dunn, Klingberg, and Weegar are all as of now about to hit UFA, and I think they could really use another bona-fide top 4 guy to round out the d-corps and let TVR continue to dominate 3rd pair minutes. I could also see them re-signing Jensen for around 4x3, not re-signing Brown, and then going after a top 6 winger with that same 6.5m. Tarasenko, ROR, Pastrnak, and Patrick Kane lead the pack of upcoming UFA forwards but even if they don't go for one of those four there will be plenty of options and the ability to take on a cap dump for free a la Pacioretty.
