Ranking the Capitals: #19
In an effort to beat the summer doldrums, we're undertaking to rank - with your help - the Washington Capitals (only players under contract will be considered). The criteria is simple: who at this moment is the most valuable player in the organization who hasn't already been ranked? Put another way, if you could only keep one of the remaining players - because of what he brings on the ice or off it, his upside, what he could fetch in trade, and so on - who would it be? Consider age, potential, contract status, organizational depth, etc. - it's your call. And after you vote and defend your selection in the comments, help us out and suggest a name to add to the next poll. [Note: here's a recap of last year's rankings; previous "Ranking the Capitals 2010" posts can be found here.]
Welcome Mathieu Perreault to the list and Anton Gustafsson to the poll...

Boyd. Cuz if you look at the list of players up there already on the list, there’s a big hole at defensive-minded center. And Boyd fills that hole better than Steckel or anyone else on the list.
Atta dinnin stick a who!
Boyd Gordon : David Steckel as Jason Chimera : Matt Bradley.
A little better at pretty much everything.
Gordo.

This pretty much nails it.
Those SATs never fail to come in handy.
'Cause the end of what it was is what it is right now...
Shouldn’t it just be Boyd Gordon:David Steckel::Jason Chimera:Matt Bradley
Also, they took analogies off of the SAT, GRE FTW!
My standardized testing wizardry aside, I agree. Gordo.

Gordo, not close in my mind. Good to no longer have to vote for Matty Perreault. I was feeling like he should spell his last name Perot for how many times he was on the ballot without winning.
