Kings need a D man and not a forward IMO. Voynov is going to be an issue for them soon.

Myers could make sense there, but I don't think Richards alone would do it. It would have to be, like you've said many times before, Toffoli also.

I'd like to see Stewart stay for the right price, I think Stewart and Foligno would be a nice line.

100% correct, Toffoli will cost them Myers or Yandle. Or should I say Toffoli has to be included for either Myers or Yandle.

3 3-5 for Stewart but i'm sure some team will give him more but if 3 or so works, i'm good with that.

I could imagine a competitive 3rd line of Stewart-Girgensens-Foligno. It would epitomize the shutdown role, with offensive ability. Take heat off your top line and play them 15-16 minutes.

I like that I really do, maybe if they move Stewart he comes back in the offseason or they move on from him.

Question is, can 28 be a number 2 Center?

I think he has proven he can play against the tougher competition. He's trending upwards in my opinion. I think he can handle it, but with the ultimate goal is to have McDavid as your #1, wouldn't Reinhart be #2?

I think the bigger question is can #23 be a number 2?

I could see them attempt to bring him back, but I would have to think the team that is trading for him would want to keep him? Then again, I am naive and think the teams are thinking about the future when making these deals.

Boston, likely wouldn't be able to afford him next year. Just as one example, I suppose.

Depends on who trades for Stewart if he stays or not or how much money he will sign for.

He has the smarts to do it, but I haven't seen his size/speed. I don't think he fits the 3C mold.

agreed...thats a NIce big winger....if he rounds a complete game he could become an excellent power fwd...but he's only 20, still developing, and @ reasonable cost for 2 more years....why would they move him....

I don't see any reason why he couldn't? and if we get McDavid that's one hell of a 1,2 punch. .....but if they get Eichel he may be better suited to play wing initially...therefor Reinhart becomes # 1 and Girgensons is #2

Doesn't look like the Caps can take on any money at all unless they move some money.

i could see Stewart and $$$ for Wilson maybe, but that's at most a maybe.....honestly we will probably be bringing in ahl fringe guys and overpaid garbage that wont be here next year (see Rusty Klesla)...crap we can afford that other teams want to dump...who inturn will be dumped buy us over the summer
