On the Washington Capitals and John Carlson …
TSN: On the possibility of there being a sign-and-trade – John Tavares or someone else – this offseason. Pierre LeBrun responds with:
“I would say that whatever remote chance there is of John Tavares doing one it’s certainly a possibility, his camp is examining that. The same would hold true for John Carlson, the number one UFA defenceman on this year’s market. He just happens to be leading all defencemen in scoring, perfect timing.”
LeBrun adds that he believes Carlson’s preference is to remain with the Capitals, and it’s a priority for them, but there are cap issues.
