While Wilson still has one more year on his current contract with Washington, the team has made him available in trade talks recently. This comes after a string of moves at this year's NHL trade deadline, which seem to indicate that the Capitals are heading towards a retool.
Wilson still has lots of gas left in his tank and should be primed to receive another wealthy contract next off-season.
Wilson would be a major addition to any team, but L.A. has made similar moves in the past. They acquired Kevin Fiala from Minnesota last year and could put together a similar package for Wilson.
Perhaps a first-round pick, a B-level prospect, and a roster player would be enough to pry Wilson from Washington. Maybe a prospect such as the once highly touted Quinton Byfield even gets thrown into trade talks.
