[ARTICLE] Vrbata a possible trade target for the Capitals?


Recommended Posts

More speculation than anything in the article but I could definitely see a great fit here especially for Vrbata in their top 6.

Personally I see us keeping Vrbata for the season and trading him off at the deadline to a playoff team (1st rounder?) but if you could get a package like Bowey + would you do it? What would the caps have to offer in terms of what Benning might be looking for (almost NHL ready prospects)?

And yes after 10 years here I still don't know how to embed an article :)

Vrbata has a limited NTC and I suspect he wants to stay in the west.

He will be in high demand by contending teams at trade deadline. JB will finally have a player that will bring back decent value.

I think a package centred around Bowey is the exact type of trade the nucks need to make in this point in time. NHL ready, young, physical, knows how to win. I think a great replacement for Bieksa more than any of our current D prospects looking to make the jump.

He was a 2nd round pick so I'm not sure it would be so unrealistic if people are talking about 1st's in a supposed deep draft.

I'd do it in a heartbeat for Bowey. They can get a top six forward without giving him up though. If somehow you could snag him, I'd go for it and accept the even further step back this year.

Imagine you got him and the step back tanked us all the way to chychrun.
