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


Recommended Posts

It wouldn't surprise me if aquaman, benning and linden have decided to tank. They see that maybe our chances of staying competitive are dwindling and decide to change gears.

More trades would not surprise me.

Yea it kinda looks like a short tank for 1-2 seasons then build a new core

with Horvat,Virtanen,Baertschi,McCann,Boeser; Kassian, Shinkaruk, Tanev... and

a couple 2016 first rounder (including a top 5 pick). We could be like Calgary

now in about 2-3 years. Looks like the best option we got imo.

Also Benning loves the 2016 Draft...

I'm just not seeing what he likes about it. 2015 was far better. Maybe he was trying to trick SJ into giving him a 2nd in 2015 instead of 2016. :lol:

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 :)

Copy/paste, dude. It's not that complex.

And the 'article' suggests Carrick or Galiev (who they just re-signed for two more years) so I doubt they'll just hand us Bowey alone, let alone add. Just blogger speculation.
