The Caps Assets
If the Capitals are looking to acquire a top-six forward, they will have to part with some top assets.
They have some top draft picks like Ivan Miroshnichenko (20th in 2022), Hendrix Lapierre (22nd in 2020), Ryan Leonard (8th in 2023), and Andrew Cristall (40th in 2023) who all possess a lot of trade value.
The Capitals are also in possession of all of their first-round picks over the next three years and have four second-round picks over the same period.
If they find the right package for the right player, we could see the Capitals go and acquire another top forward who can help them in their quest for the cup.
