Round 3
Washington needs to rebuild and acquire every young asset they can acquire. Here, they are acquiring two young prospects, one who could become a top-6 or at least a top-9 forward, and another, who should provide depth to his squad. The 3rd round pick is more like a 1st rounder (Like 30th something ovr). That should provide Washington with a very solid prospect in a very deep draft.
Tampa acquires a solid, veteran, second-line centre. Yes, Sedin is aging, but he should still produce. Looking at my roster, I felt like I could accelerate the rebuild by dealing these assets who I don't really see as big parts of my plans and don't really fit in. I have a ton of forward depth.
The 5th round pick is just like the last pick in the draft so I can draft and develop some new guys, different from the previous regime.
Thanks Ryan for the deal.
to confirm.
