Do you think we can offload him to ...... which team was it that we conned into taking Sasha? 
The LA Kings are rumored to be shopping Jake Muzzin. The only way the Caps could make it work salary cap wise would be to move Burakovsky and Orpik. Could the two of them plus, say, Siegenthaler, get a deal done? That's a big haul for LA to take the chance on Burakovsky, but they are last in the league in scoring, they DESPERATELY need some skill up front, and they have the grinders that could get the puck to Burakovsky and maybe get him going.
I think part of his problem is that he needs to have a grinder and a distributor on his line for him to best use his skills, and with the Caps he's NEVER been on a line with that mix. He's always been a misfit here. I think, for example, a Burakovsky/Backstrom/Wilson line would be a good one, but he's so far in the doghouse now he'd never get that opportunity. Putting him with Ovie is no good, because Ovie is the sniper on whatever line he is on, period, so it turns Burakovsky into a forechecker, which he is not.
