Ovechkin

[Can8899]

With the Capitals GM not fully closing the door on trading Ovechkin, would it be too far fetched for him to end up in Vegas? 

Obviously, the Caps wouldn't just let him go for nothing but perhaps another team(s) leave some players unprotected that the Capitals are interested in and they make a deal with Vegas with the stipulation that they pick those players in the expansion draft and then flip them to the Caps. 

Ovechkin would likely not waive his NTC to go to Vegas at this stage in his career but I think he'd fit well there with his personality and star power.

No player that would be the centrepiece of an Ovechkin trade is going to be left unprotected for the expansion draft. The only possibility for Vegas to put together value would be if Vegas was willing to trade multiple future 1sts which seems like the sort of thing that wouldn't interest Washington.
