Most fans would probably agree that any trade talks involving the Washington Capitals should start with goaltending. That said, based on the rumors of the Caps being in on the Evander Kane “sweepstakes”, it does seem as if - among other things - GM Brian Maclellan is putting out feelers for some extra offensive help, as well.
The Caps’ offense, while hot at the beginning of the season, has cooled off in recent months and with both Anthony Mantha and T.J. Oshie, two important top-six pieces, having been sidelined for most of the season so far, it seems like MacLellan is looking for a little insurance for the playoff push.
