Washingtons Expectations

Jason Hendrick

GM, Washington Capitals

To the leagues GMs:

I would like to give everyone the heads up on the #1 pick in this years draft... it is going to be expensive.

I am comparing this pick to the one Quebec had back in 91... you all know which one im talking about...

Everyone could use Crosby, but is anyone willing to give up what it will take?

What we are expecting is in close proximity to what Quebec received from Philly back in 91...

1) A young stud, former 1st round pick preferably, that can play NOW...
2) A young player who can play now, but doesnt have to be amazing, just solid.
3) A decent goalie, young or old, to start for my team.
4) One or two dmen to pick up the slack where my other dmen suck
5) A 1st round pick in this draft, and 2nd in next draft
6) Undetermind monetary sum, that will vary based on what i get from #'s 1-5

This may seem like a lot, but think about how much money, fans, publicity having Crosby will get you!
