Late
Flat cap or not, the Capitals refused to stand by and watch their division foes improve their rosters without making a move at the NHL trade deadline Monday.
Not long after the Bruins acquired 2018 NHL MVP Taylor Hall from Buffalo, the Capitals responded by mortgaging a valuable portion of their future to acquire forward Anthony Mantha from the Red Wings. With the championship window beginning to close on the Alex Ovechkin-led roster, Washington went all-in on Mantha by trading wingers Jakub Vrana and Richard Panik ,a 2021 first- and a 2022 second-round pick to Detroit. They have literally no room to maneuver now with $0 in salary cap room but felt it was worth the risk.
• The Hurricanes traded defenseman Haydn Fleury to the Ducks in exchange for defenseman Jani Hakanpaa and a sixth-round draft pick in 2022.
• The Kings traded forward Jeff Carter to the Penguins for a pair of conditional draft picks. Forward Alex Iafallo agreed to a fouryear, $16 million contract extension with Los Angeles.
