I know this won't happen, but for fun:

Ovechkin and Vokoun for Luongo and.....

I say Kesler makes the most amount of sense, but Washington would have to throw in a draft pick or prospect (since Vokoun is a rental).

What say yall?

I forget what i was watching the other day but they referred to OV as Vechkin. No "o"...

they'd have to take Ballard or Booth to help match salary.

I'm sick of hearing about all these damn glorified potato farmers invading DC. Damn Micks. O'Vechkin, O'Bama, go away!

No offense Puck, but I don't think either of those players with Luongo get a deal done. If I'm GMGM, I'd need at least a good prospect and a 1st round pick if you give me Lou and one of Ballard/Booth.

yeah I agree in terms of talent swap. just trying to see how we would fit a $9.5 mill salary.
Kes is $5mill, but it would be a pretty tough job to convince me that Ovechkin is worth basically 2x Kesler.

also tough to pay a new guy $9.5m when our two home grown Art Ross winners are locked in at $6.1m long term. Again, trying to justify OV being 50% higher than the reigning scoring champion.
