Oshie is the name that caught the headlines. Cant wait to see him and OVO get together.
But how big is the Brouwer lost for the Caps. The Loss of Size is the big deal here.
Both have "Side issues" also....
With STL: Oshie being gone + the fact that Tara is not signed
With WAS: Brouwer + Ward who is rumor to be on the way out.
I think the the CAPS win it...The offense is what the needed above all. The Defensive corp principles with Trotz will still be there.
