Times are a changing for the defending Stanley Cup champs. The Caps made not one but two moves over the last few days to help strengthen their roster.
First the Caps acquired Carl Hagelin from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a third round draft pick in 2019 as well as a conditional sixth rounder in 2020.
The Caps weren’t done following that.
The very next day they dealt defenseman Madison Bowey, a homegrown talent that came up through the Hershey system to the Detroit Red Wings.
They also traded a 2020 second-round pick.
