The Washington Capitals have a week off between games. Andrew Gillis and Regan ask their writers what the team's biggest need is at the trade deadline.

The Washington Capitals have the worst odds to win the Stanley Cup this season. They need to make a big move for a goalie. If they can't find a good one, they should bring in another forward. They should also consider a retained salary trade. The team is getting older and has less draft picks. It's not a great idea to trade quality players for rentals. But it's necessary to maximize the Alex Ovechkin era. He's getting better. There are potential for more assets coming in. This is why they need a new goalie and another goal-scorer. For the team to go for the Cup, it would make sense to do that.
