Nashville already has quite a few NHL defensemen, I don't really see them as having interest in Bear. Duclair is an interesting free agent but I'd be a little weary of giving him that term. Not sure he's the right target for a team like the Caps.

I wouldn't mind DuClair or also maybe Terovainen or even Bertuzzi because I see no way the Caps can pull a real Top 6 forward either by signing or trades honestly. I would keep Bear but move out a bigger salary like Jensen or TVR. Ironically about Nashville from NoVaSpartan, I would like to see them sign their defensive free agent Carrier. Big RHD for 2nd or 3rd pair minutes, not sure. Caps need a little more size and grit but mostly a skill upgrade on the forward lines.
