Lancaster Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I wouldn't mind the Canucks throwing something out there for OV. Luongo, maybe a Ballard and/or Booth.... pretty much Washington giving up top-end for more 2nd-line depth. Luongo + Ballard + Kassian for Ovechkin?

Lockhart Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Tru dat. Though, he would have to be bought out for that to happen. And if he's bought out, he would have about 29 NHL teams bidding for his services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertuzziJr 2.0 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think you'd have to think long and hard if the opportunity for a luongo/ovi swap were to available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackberries Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 C'mon if it was doable under the cap, it would be something you would have to think about. So we load up on ELC's its about time we got some new blood in here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 LOL @ a 9.5 cap hit. Chris Kunitz, Simon Despres & Tangradi for Ovechkin Ovechkin - Crosby - Dupuis Neal - Malkin - Bennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 What I see more likely is a shake-up than trading their biggest star; despite his struggles. GMMG showed interest in Brouwer the day he was traded, but WSH had the higher 1st IIRC. Things have changed, but Brouwer would be an awesome addition IMO. .. Raymond's value is probably at a high right now.. Mason Raymond + _________ for Troy Brouwer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It's a good thing they got that 7th round pick for Vokoun. It'll really come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Imagine Luongo for Ovechkin straight up, maybe some depth players and prospects to even it up. Sedin - Sedin - Ovechkin Burrows - Kesler - Booth Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen Higgins - Lapierre - Kassian Sick depth, and if anyone's going to re-kindle Ovi it's the twins. He's got the size to protect the Sedins as well, basically a far better Kassian, even if he is in a 2 season slump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie Wilson Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Throw Ballard in, get some picks in return to balance it up. Very do-able cap-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorFutureGM Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ovechkin would be almost impossible to move for many reasons. 1. Contract. It's huge and is not producing anywhere close to the value of his contract. 2. He is the Washington Capitals. He brought people back their and got them back into hockey. 3. Return. Trading him, the face of the franchise will require the return for him to have a lot of "name value". Will any team give A level prospects for him? 4. Teams interested. It would have to be a team that goes to the cap. Would those teams want to pay such a likely steep price and cap hit. 5. Cap shrinking. If a team can't afford him now capwise, it's going to be harder for the next few seasons. With that being said, their might be some teams out there but I don't think it would be contenders. Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto I see as possibilities. All have richer owners, all need a jolt of excitement around the team. Calgary Cammalleri, 1st FOR Ovechkin Winnipeg Kane FOR Ovechkin Montreal Kessel, 1st FOR Ovechkin Montreal Cole, 1st FOR Ovechkin Washington will probably want way more but no team will offer him much more than that.
