Les Capitals de Washington échangent Nic Dowd aux Golden Knights de Vegas contre Jesper Vikman et deux choix au repêchage. S’agit-il d’un signal de reconstruction de la part du directeur général Chris Patrick ou d’un mouvement intelligent d’actifs à long terme ? Nous expliquons ce que cela signifie pour le vestiaire, l’opportunité de Justin Sourdif et la direction des Capitals à la date limite des échanges dans la LNH.

I hope we call up lil pro and give him a chance in the big team. However they had ample opportunity to do it earlier while pld was hurt, and it never happened so i doubt it will happen
Excellent asset management by the Caps here. Losing Dowd sucks, but with the exorbitant returns for depth pieces this year, it would be bordering on flagrant malpractice not to capitalise on the opportunity. I wouldn't read too much into Vikman, though. He will become an RFA next year. It's possible Vegas deemed it necessary to send a contract back the other way. The Caps could still opt not to qualify him next year and let him walk into free agency.
I think we got a fairly good haul for dowder dispite how upset i am to see him leave. I think we have good centers (mainly lil pro) on the come up and sourdi is here to stay as a really talented center, someone was going to have to budge next season, and i dont hate it being dowder as the oldest center on the team to make room for the youth
Good trade. Now trade more older players for more picks and prospects. The Ovie era ends after this season and we have a few young pieces, but not enough. They need to rebuild and stock the cabinet.
Edmonton is desperate for a goalie. I bet they’d give a lot for Logan…
Great trade, keep it going. We need to be sellers. Carlson, Wilson, and even Ovi should be considered.
What did I say? Clueless Chris sacrificed Ovis last year for the future. Pretty brutal unless he adds tomorrow.
Decent return for Dowd. He's had a poor season and this paves the way for an Ilya Protas callup
so maybe we get robert thomas now we have an opening. , move sourdif to 4th line?, give st louis 2 1st , and two of these three prospects crystal, ,myro …..wait for it hudson ,we will see tomorrow.
i love vegas even more now, they lost to us for a cup and i love the mixture of other players from other teams .
