The only thing I'd say is that the Caps need to fix their zone entries on the PP. They are struggling to get setup, which has been killing their percent recently. Caps rely on Kuzzy or Vrana, but it's been a bit of a mess, especially with Kuzzy there.
Samsonov needs to start more.
Caps issue is at their back end, so if they make a trade, that is where it should come from. Unfortunately, their most expendable contract is probably Jensen right now, and it's hard to envision any 1 for 1 d men trades out there.
I know I would be in the small minority, but I would see if a team is desperate enough for Holtby bolstering their playoff chances. It's a big gamble if Samsonov poops the bed, which rookie goaltenders seem to do all the time, but at this point if it adds any improvements from a desperate west coast team, it needs to be considered.

Agreed. They don't have much room for anything. But Mac has been creative in the past so we'll see.
