March is upon us–though rather than concerning ourselves with the upcoming basketball tournament, we’re focused on the NHL’s very own March Madness: the trade deadline.
Submit your comment to predict who will be wearing the red, white & blue of the District’s team after GMGM’s Machiavellian machinations. One of the seers who correctly predicts a Capitals acquisition will be awarded an OFB mug, shipped directly to you (or handed off at a game, your call). The first tiebreaker will be correctly predicting what the Capitals return for the player(s) . . . if multiple readers get a trade (in-bound and out-bound) correct, we’ll pick a winner at random among all you Dionne Warwicks out there.
Good luck!

Please leave comments on this. Thanks!
-Jose Theodore, Shaone Morisson, a 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd to Minnesota for Marian Gaborik and Nick Backstrom
-Nyles and 75 cents for a bottle of water
-Nyles and a 3rd round pick to NYI for Guerin
-Nyles to Columbus for Ted Ruth and a 2nd-round-pick
-Mo, Beagle, and Lepisto to the (mighty) Ducks for Pronger
-Mo and a 2nd to Phoenix for Morris
The first one would be the greatest thing ever but the caps would need to shed salary to fit Gabby under the Cap. That would give the caps two Gabbys and two Backstroms but our first line would be absolutely incredible.
btw, just something to note, the caps can’t acquire more players than they give up because of the 50 contract rule.
I’m not exactly sure who will leave, but I know this, bye bye Jose and Nyls for sure, possibly Schultz and Bourque…
Hello Backstrom, Pronger, and Antropov
I predict that GMGM does nothing, mostly because he can’t find a way to unload Nyles.
Nylander to Montreal for a third round pick.
Alexander Semin and a first round pick to Anaheim for Chris Pronger.
Bourque and a second round pick to Colorado for Milan Hejduk.
Nylander to Chicago for 2nd round pick.
Morrison Bourque Nuevrith to Colorado for Brett Clark Lapierre Raycroft
I don’t care, as long as we don’t give up the future for a Jagr-sized albatross.
I just want to know where I can get a mug like that one!
Nlys to Joe Gibbs Racing for a used tire
He’s already got pointlessly turning in circles down cold so it’s a natural fit.
Great work so far folks, keep ‘em coming! Oh, and nice one there VT Phil.

Caps send second round pick and Schultz to Phoenix for Derek Morris. (Morris apparently has said he wants to go to one of 3 teams, Philly, Boston, and Wash, and Philly has no cap space. That leaves us and Beantown. He’d fit in.)
I’d also say that Tkachuk is on the Caps list as well, but I have no idea what you give up for him.
Hey, can we trade something, ANYTHING, for good ice? I’m just sayin’
If I remember correctly…it was this time last year we were asking for a better/maybe even a starter for Kolzig. We were even asking for his head in the playoffs. Now there is some mur mur’s about letting go Theodore. I think that the goalie is not the problem. It’s Semin and his absolutely horrendous penalty’s that are killing this team and his goalie. Granted Alexander is a wonderful skater and he makes some terrific passes, but the penalties are a killer. The Capitals should trade him for another Large “Foil up” the knuckles type of player to help “The Donald”. If we get inot another series with the fly boys we will need someone like that!!
As Always
Rockin the Red from York PA!!!
CWH
I’d just like to see a mean nasty SOB dman, doesn’t have to be topshelf like Pronger, but I’d take someone like Foote or Leopold or Salei.
If we can shore up the backline, that’ll make JT60 better.
Nylander, Theodore and Orderedchaos for Lundqvist and Sally Jenkins.
Whoever the Caps trade, they’ll still have a thriving ‘Bear Market’ a short jaunt up north:

Nyls and a third to CHI for Bufuglyn..sp???
or Jose, Shultz, and a 1st for Backstrom and Gaborik
Brash, MO and 2nd round to Ducks for D Chris Pronger.
Nylander, Tyler Sloan and Sean Collins to Wild for Goalie Niklas Backstrom
This is wild guess.
Brash and Sloan are URF at the end of this season. Mo is a RFA at the end of this season. Nylander has a no trade clause that I am sure GMGM is working on as we speak.
Johnny is injured and therefore not a good trade for anyone, besides he played well up until his injury and could net a pay day from anyone else including us next season (UFA), but not right now.
Although the CAPs are a solid team, they need to determine if they can make a push with JT into the playoffs with a stronger D, with a stronger GT or with both. Either way they have got to give something to get something on this one. I hate to see anyone go, with the exception of Shultz, I don’t think he is developing at the same rate as the rest of the team.
My Two Cents.
Mo and Nyles for Derek Morris and a 3th round pick.
Longshot here!
Osala and Nyles
for
Kovalev
Anyone ever thought what would happen if we put Nyles on the waiver wire and pick up Satan that Pitt just dropped on the wire today? Satan’s on a one year – 3.5M contract.
Conditional Draft Pick for Heward?
On a side note: why is there a link for a Malkin-Pittsburgh jersey at the bottom of this page?
-Nyles for Khabibulin
-Flash for Derek Morris
-Schultz, Flash (if not traded above), and 1st round pick for Pronger
Just to note, there’s no way the Caps are getting the other Backstrom (although that would be fun). Minny just re-signed him to a 4 year $24 mil deal.
Just for fun, Nicklas Backstrom for Niklas Backstrom.
Fleischmann, Lepisto, a first round pick and a 3rd round pick to the Ducks for Pronger
Nylander to Chicago for a 3rd round pick
Morrison and Chris Bourque to Phoenix for Derek Morris
Fleischmann, Bradley and 2nd Rd pick for Guerin
Nylander to the Isles for Guerin;
Philly trades Biron to the Yotes for whatever Philly needs; the Yotes trade Biron and Morris to the Caps for Neuvirth, Morrisonn, a Hershey Bear and a 2nd or 3rd pick.
Derek Morris & Olli Jokinen for Nyls and ShaMo.
Drew beat me to my prediction, almost exactly, but I would think only a pick would get him. Of course, Drew would get the prize — just wanted to post the comment to have the satisfaction of prediction!
Ovie for David Beckham.
Nylander and a 1st rounder to Chicago, Havlat, Ladd, and Barker to Toronto, Kaberle and a 4th rounder to Washington.
Morisson and Lepisto to PHX for Morris and Ken Klee
> Nylander, Theodore and Orderedchaos for Lundqvist and Sally Jenkins.
Heyyyyyyy! Oh, wait: clearly I’m the value in this deal, Nyls and Theo are just a salary dump… so thanks, I think.
Looks like I get me some swag. Good for me. Bad for the Caps.
