You call me crazy right? Well hear me out Washington Capitals fans. Back in 2013 the team traded highly touted prospect Filip Forsberg to the Nashville Predators for Martin Erat and Michael Latta. This upset many Capitals fans and rightfully so but I’m here to say that maybe this was actually a good thing for the Capitals.
For one, they got a future hall of famer in Martin Erat. At the time, he was killing it for the Predators. He led the team with 17 assists and was tied for first on the team with 21 points.
