J.J. Regan of CSN Mid Atlantic: There has been speculation that the Capitals could trade backup goaltender Philipp Grubauer, but that may end up costing them more.
The last spot on the blueline (if go 7-3-1) is between Dmitry Orlov and Nate Schmidt.
The last three spots up front come down to Marcus Johansson, Lars Eller, Tom Wilson, Jay Beagle and maybe T.J. Oshie if they re-sign before the draft.
Regan notes …. “If Washington trades Grubauer, that means they will lose someone else.
