Mackcanuck Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 CSN MID ATLANTIC: Chuck Gormley believes the Washington Capitals will try to acquire a veteran defenseman before the Feb. 29 trade deadline, in part based upon the health of blueliner Brooks Orpik. who’s missed 33 games to a lower-body injury. He feels Capitals GM Brian MacLellan could pursue Vancouver Canucks rearguard Dan Hamhuis, speculating the asking price could be their first-round pick and either a prospect or a roster player like Stan Galiev. Gormley noted Hamhuis’ recent facial injury, but also points out he played for Capitals coach Barry Trotz during their years with the Nashville Predators. SPECTOR’S NOTE: I expect the Caps will do something before the deadline. There’s been speculation for several weeks suggesting the Capitals could add a defenseman to bolster their blueline for what they hope will be a Stanley Cup run this spring. While the Capitals were linked to Dustin Byfuglien, Hamhuis could be a more affordable pickup for the Caps. http://spectorshockey.net/sunday-nhl-rumor-roundup-january-31-2016/ http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/hockey-washington-capitals/talk/will-caps-make-trade-deadline?

Mr. Puckluck Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 It needs to be a first at least. 14 minutes ago, Gstank29 said: Carrick and a 2nd get it done BENNING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Capitals look like they are winning the president's trophy so getting a 2nd means the team will be getting at highest a 25th pick at the 2nd round.

I would do pretty much anything I had to, to take a Hamhuis/Bowey swap. (more pieces added for balancing of course) But that would be HUGE. Still a second first rounder could still suffice. There should be some great defensmen in the 25-30 section. Someone usually ends up falling as there are only so many picks. But a return like that isn;t bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I would add, if necessary, to get Bowey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We might have to add to get Bowey. But it would be worth it. Kids a stud muffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 basically Benning can play the rivals against eachother. Either Bowey or Pouliott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksterh8 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If JB could get Bowey from them, would be a coup de ville for him! Do it Jim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 So many people on this board have called Hammer useless this year...not so useless after all. Hamhuis will garner a lot of interest from teams that are all in this year. Even coming off an injury a lot of GM's know what kind of game Hammer brings along with his class and composure in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatedkid666 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Bowey for Hammer and Prusty EDIT: We can retain as much as necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be true, but what do you think is valued more by Washington, the Stanley Cup, or 10+ years of Madison Bowey? In the past, teams have payed a premium at the deadline, so I'm sure that will stay the same this year. I'd be more than willing to add Cassels, or a mid round pick.

smokes Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I say hold on until the dominoes start to fall. The Canucks were the first to get rid of Lack last year and all others trades ended up with higher compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'd rather have Bowey than the Caps' first, (which would be a late pick) but if they offered the first plus a guy like Tom Wilson, I'd listen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for trading Hammer. I'd seriously like to resign him should he get traded. Vermette style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
