And yes, moving to Quebec City would completely eliminate the Cup winning prospects of the Washington Capitals.

Not sure of the point you're making here. Why would we care how a team in Quebec City (or wherever) fares?
When considering moves for the Washington Capitals to make to win a Cup, trading Ovechkin is a non-starter due to the financial ramifications (and loss of talent considering the makeup of the rest of the roster).
That still totally misses the point. Is building around a $9.5M Ovechkin a (Cup-) winning strategy or not? I think it could be if enough right decisions are made around him, but it's not ideal.
And moving the team to Quebec City without roster changes does absolutely nothing to diminish its Cup prospects. The roster stays the same. In terms of taking the team away from its fans, it's a huge defeat; in terms of its chances of winning, it has absolutely no impact.
Impossible to win with a 9,5M wing?
Is it a fact 100%?
Or is it impossible to win with 9,5+4,5+4,5 wings who aren't exactly net positives?
Caps still have a chance having OV not that brilliant on D and ES.
But Caps can work on his ES also. Erat should have helped but they didn't connected much yet.
I guess 9,5 is a figure dictated by market. Like Getzlaf's and Perry's caphits. All GMs are forced to work around those figures right now. So is GMGM.
It's not the end of the world.
