Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post: Washington Capitals GM Brian MacLellan has a history of tinkering with their roster leading up to the trade deadline.
There has been plenty of speculation around forward Andre Burakovsky. He’s been a healthy scratch and team have checked in on his availability.
Burakovsky is a pending restricted free agent that would require a $3.25 million qualifying offer.
MacLellan would be looking for immediate help instead of draft picks or prospects.
“I mean, it’s important for us to have as much depth as we can down the stretch and into the playoffs and to be healthy,” he said.
