In today’s episode of Locked On Capitals, we break down three big offseason storylines surrounding the Washington Capitals. First, we examine whether Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi—who’s reportedly on the trade block after rejecting a long-term extension—fits into Washington’s plans. While Rossi’s age, two-way skill, and offensive upside match what the Capitals are seeking, his addition would crowd an already deep center group and potentially block young talent like Connor McMichael and Hendrix Lapierre.Next, we explore whether the Capitals could make a bold move with an offer sheet for Sabres winger J.J. Peterka, who scored 68 points this season. While Peterka is a dynamic young forward who fits the team’s need for top-six scoring, the cost and risk associated with offer sheets—either a massive cap hit or high draft pick compensation—make it an unlikely route. Finally, we revisit the infamous Filip Forsberg trade, which sent the future All-Star to Nashville for Martin Erat in 2013. Though Washington eventually won the Stanley Cup, the lopsided deal still serves as a cautionary tale in sacrificing future stars for short-term gain.FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
