What would make Washington a real threat? Deeper down the middle:
To Washington: Bozak
To Toronto: 1st round pick, 5th round pick
Helps Toronto in tanking this season and get a 1st round pick
Gives Washington a good #2 centre, he will be behind Backstrom so he won't have as much pressure, also a very good 2nd pp centre. This would also give us a nice right handed centre to compliment Backstrom
If unbelievable post why so I can improve this.

Bo is a 3rd line center on most teams

Bozak is not the 2C the Caps need. In fact, without Kessel and JVR I don't think he's a good 2C at all. He's also not worth a 1st and certainly not more.

hes a 3c on a cup contender; on most teams he's a 2c, as he would be on washington behind backstrom.

@Linds, he might be, but Washington lacks centre depth so he would be a nice fit. We don't have the recourses to go out and get a Kesler or Krijci or that "perfect #2".

I really hope the caps won't trade their first for Bozak.

Bozak will get you a 2nd + a low level prospect
7.) 18 Feb 2015
Bozak's value will be as a 2C if he is traded. He's clearly a 3C on a team with 2 better centers (CHI, PIT, LAK, SJS, ANA etc.). But I doubt a team trading for Bozak is trading for him to be a 3C.
As for the trade, I would be more inclined to agree if the pick was conditional on Washington making the conference finals or some sort of similar condition.

If all these Toronto players are worth a first round pick would Toronto not be in a playoff spot instead of trying to catch Buffalo

@ sens hunter
I can't even begin to tell you how wrong that is.

Bozak would be a nice fit in Washington, easily their #2 center. However, there is no way he brings back a 1st & 5th. I'd say a 2nd is fair. He would be 3rd line on many teams but not Washington. He is great on the face offs and a good penalty killer too.
