Your turn: What should be the Capitals' top offseason priority?

The Capitals have started to retool their roster after another early playoff exit. They have re-signed center Brooks Laich, traded for power forward Troy Brouwer and added a few draft picks to their minor-league system. Expect more changes -- perhaps more significant ones -- after owner Ted Leonsis said the Capitals "want to change and improve" this offseason. He also suggested that some trades could be in the works.

Washington is the hottest team in hockey, and teams with momentum heading into the playoffs are especially dangerous in the NHL.
