Amato notes that Ovechkin continues to have a difficult season and that his productivity has declined noticeably. A trade for the captain has emerged as a possible option, but given the player’s current low value, it may not be the most cost-effective option for the club. The reporter suggests that the Capitals keep Ovechkin and hope he gets his game back. However, given the player’s age and lack of young talent on the team, Amato expresses doubts about the possibility of improvement significant. He also points out that at the current pace, Ovechkin is struggling to compete for the title of top scorer of the season.
Amato suggests the Capitals wait until Ovechkin’s form improves and try to trade him if he has a few successful games. A burst of performance could attract the attention of other clubs and make an offer that would be more favorable to the Capitals than their current options.
