""And if we don't trade the picks and use them instead, hopefully we have more prospects for our team or who can be used in future deals.""
"The trade market is expected to be highly competitive, as this year's free agency class is among the weakest in recent memory."

The Washington Capitals have been trying to improve their forward group for two years but have missed out on key players. General manager Chris Patrick confirmed that the team's offseason strategy will focus on the trade market, acknowledging the high prices due to a sellers' market.
