#25 T.J. Oshie

T.J. Oshie is easily the best trade the Capitals have executed. It was done by none other than Brian MacLellan as he dealt Troy Brouwer and Pheonix Copley to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for the Oshbabe.

Last season was a rough year for Oshie as he dealt with injuries and only played in 44 games scoring 11 goals and 14 assists for 25 points. But when he’s healthy, the heart and soul of that locker room is an X factor for the Caps.

The previous year saw Oshie score 22 goals in a pandemic shortened season. So far in his career with the Caps that has spanned seven years, Oshie has recorded 161 goals and 164 assists for 325 points. He was also the best player in the first round of last year’s playoffs.
