I am not sure what he has left in the tank, he is 38 years old and has sat out the first half of the season so I question how effective he would be. Furthermore, I doubt whether we could trade Panik and his contract without adding other assets which I would not want to do.

Again....with What cap space.
And I think this is pure fantasy. Does he come with a unicorn and maybe a mermaid or two?
I know Panick is not well liked here, but I think he serves his intended purpose well and is a very good fit for what this team needed. Size, ability, skills, CAPSPACE. All a fit we needed in that position.
Remember he is a third line shutdown winger with good size, good PK skills at a reasonable price.....EXACTLY what the Caps went looking for. I know his scoring is not where we want it, but most of you are unrealistic about this. He is a 15g a year guy MAX. He assets are elsewhere. Yes, we would like a little more scoring, but he has picked it up of late...maybe nagging injury, maybe just dumb luck. And, he fits well with Eller and Hags. You gonna put a 38 year old Williams on the third line? You gonna put Williams on the second line and move Vrana down? That's hanging a plow on your racehorse. You gonna break up the current 4th line, where we already have 4 guys for three spots? No way.
I'm honestly okay with Panick where he is. An average player who filled some much needed holes on this time (ahem....look at last year's PK) who is paid an affordable amount. I recognize Hags is one of the best PK assets, but having Panick is a huge help also. You can have Eller & Hags/Panik on the PK as one unit and save Kuzy and Nicky for 5 v 5......ESPECIALLY as they are aging.
Anyway, I think the Williams idea is just talk. I would not be willing to trade off Panik for Williams at this point. I like and respect Williams and he is smart and was a part of what we needed at the time, but not so much now I think. More downside than upside, especially long-term to that swap (unless there was something else to go with it)
This roster seems to have good chemistry, and our lines are pretty well working out (Good Lawd...our 4th line is beast). You would always like to see improvement, but I don't see a cause to upset the apple cart currently. Never know what you are going to get with a trade.
(looking back, this is pretty much what 4 Caps said, just not as lengthy and eloquent (as me and....Puck) have a tendency toward. :snicker:

if they traded Panik plus whatever out for Williams, it would be a bigger mistake than when they benched Schmidt for Shitpants. IMHO.
