Washington Approves
Hard deal to make. I feel like I lose now, but drastic changes were needed with our first non-playoff season here. OEL is a beast and only 25. I hate to move a D that good and young, but Landeskog is also very good and young. I'm hoping this works out for me long term, but I at least have another deal to add some D to lessen the blow there. Byron was tough to trade also, he has C, LW and RW eligibility. Hopefully 2017-18 is a better year in the capital, but I feel we have 6 studs at forward going forward: Ovechkin, Barkov, Granlund, Backstrom, Toffoli and now Landeskog. Also, add Max Jones, Alex Nylander, Kyle Connor and now Boeser as potential studs in the minors. Kylington is a personal favorite and I also was pleasantly surprised with some good picks from last year in Fox and Candella. D is certainly and issue going forward with only Beaulieu and Suter as NHL relevant guys, but we have a ton of picks to address that and the draft has players of interest there.
