A look at a busy week for the Caps, the moves they made ahead of the deadline, and a few that they didn’t.
Anthony Mantha to Vegas
After over a year of trade rumors and speculation, and after putting together his best campaign with the Capitals to date, Mantha became the first domino to fall this week, heading out west to join the many players who are newly anointed Knights of Vegas. In return, the Caps received Vegas’s 2nd-round pick in 2024 and their 4th-round pick in 2026, and also retain half of his salary through the end of his contract (so through June 30).
