The Washington Capitals Are Looking To Make A Nearly Impossible Trade
The Washington Capitals are a bit off their game compared to their 2018 Stanley Cup-winning form, facing challenges this season. There's talk, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, that they're eyeing Vancouver Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko.
However, the snag here is Washington's tight budget and limited resources, making it tough to swing a move like this. Kuzmenko, at 29, has had 29 games with the Canucks this season, notching 17 points, including 6 goals and 11 assists. While a fresh start might appeal to him, the Capitals are in a bind trying to bring him on board.
The wishful thinking is that Gary Bettman and the NHL could intervene somehow, but the reality is many teams are struggling to make moves for the help they need.
