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.

confirms this deal. 

I thought Sedin would be worth a little more, but I shopped him around for a good 2 weeks and this was the only offer I had.  I really like getting the 3rd rounder, and I think both specs could contribute on the NHL level.

Sedin has a good 2 years left, but they would just be wasted years on my rebuilding team.

Thanks for the deal Mark!

Sedin is starting to show his age, so two prospects with the potential to fill the bottom of the line up with some scoring upside is a pretty solid return. The real value in the deal will depend on who norrya drafts with the 3rd rounder.

I respect the right to run your teams as you both see fit.
