Chris Kuc of The Athletic: Looking at who will be back for the Washington Capitals next season, trade possibilities to who will be gone.
They’ll be back – Phoenix Copley, Nic Dowd, Lars Eller, Braden Holtby, Nick Jensen, Michael Kempny, Dmitry Orlov, Jonas Siegenthaler, and Jakub Vrana.
Big-name trade possibility – Matt Niskanen – the Capitals are going to need to create salary cap space for their RFA and any UFAs. He’s a $5.75 million cap hit for two more years.
