Denk ook na, dat indien hij op de grootste waarde terugkomt van zijn Zednik van de pre-verwondingsvorm na de handelsuiterste termijn aankomt. With Chris Clark pushing for a 30-goal-plus campaign, a pair of Russians likely burning out goal lamp bulbs for 50 each on the left side, it’s plausible that a balanced attack of the top-6 wings could mitigate a bit the Caps’ battered blueline, and usher in an above-.500 run in February and March and make April as dramatic in hockey D.C. as we’ve seen this decade. A longshot scenario admittedly, but plausible. And if two veteran right wings are part of that underdog heroism, we’d have quite a Verizon Center curtain call this spring. And a return engagement next fall.

    does Zednik have a hunchback?

    Will he give his kingdom for a goal?

    Very good point. I believe it would serve us no good to trade him for a draft pick. We have more than enough prospects to develop and could use Zednik’s veteran presence for the long term.

    I would favor a return of Zed for next year. This year may be out of reach as far as playoffs (I write this in typical “knee jerk” reaction to the result of a very entertaining game in Ottawa that was fought awfully hard for the latter half of the game but that may have put us out of contention), but there are plenty of prospects that are planned to develop within the system already.

    And Zed is a nice link to our best playoff memories.

    He can’t get us that top 4 d-man with experience, so why deal him now? Is there some super defense prospect in the 2nd round in this year’s draft that we simply must have and that a pick in that round would help acquire? Doubtful.

    Good points CF & Pepper — unless someone offers a great return, why not keep Zed another year to see if he can stay healthy and produce next season? We’re not overloaded at RW, and unless Zed brings a good return in a package trade then why lose him for nothing?
