Dowd...I think the Caps will hold onto him unless they get a pretty decent return. Although at this point, as much as I like him and he seems a really decent fellow....I'd be willing to part with him, and he is 33. He does a lot on this team, but he is not a special player you build a future around. THe caps are weak up the middle though, so unless you get decent bang, I hold onto him. Sgarbossa might could fill his spot, but he is 31 now (dowd 33)
I hope they do trade Pacs and get something for him. He isn't going to help us this season and poof he'll be gone for nothing. I would think some playoff bound team would want a character, cup-winning guy like him just for depth, etc.
NAK...meh...I don't see him getting much return. But I'm fine with moving him.
Hell if you really gonna rebuild...why not move Jensen or TVR?...or, heaven forbid, Carlson? You could bring up Iorio or Lucas Johansen. I know they will never move Carlson, but ...I was surprised they extended Jensen. I mean he's fine, but for rebuild mode why bother?
Although our D corps isnt impressing anyone: Carlson, Jensen, TVR, Fever, Sundin, Bear, ALexeyev, Johansen
Fucking Kuzy...found another way to fuck this team with his issues. Made him virtually untradeable.
I'd love them to move Keumper too. They could afford to retain salary on him.
The thing is....the Caps will for the first time in 10 seasons will have big buckets of cash/cap room to spend in the off-season. Backstrom, Kuzy, Mantha is like $23mil
alta:
Dowd has one more season under contract, and he’s cheap, less than $1.5M per. For what he brings there is no reason to trade him now, unless you know you can fill that hole. I don’t see anyone in the system right now that can.
Mickstix:
Not sure why they'd care if they can fill Dowd's hole? I mean, competitively anyway.. The goal at this point shouldn't be to keep older guys who are good. Good does nothing positive for this team. The goal should be to hope Ovi scores and lose every game.
Beaglefan2:
Malynstein is the replacement for Dowd - younger, faster. If they could get a 2nd for Dowd, I would do it. He has been a little injury prone and I am afraid some of it has been concussions.
Patch is untradeable at this point. He has shown to be old and slow and the Caps made a mistake by giving him enough games to make his incentive bonus - so they will have to eat 2M next year.
Really wish we could dump Kemper as Charlie is clearly a much better goalie for next year and we have a couple guys ready to take over after that.

Patches is UFA....signed him this year only - has no contract next year. Trade him for a bag of pucks.
I'd trade him to a contender for almost any pick AND retain salary. You'd only be retaining 25% of the year so...500K
I could see somebody grabbing him just for his leadership and Cup pedigree - just for a playoff ride. There's virtually no risk with no contract
