It looks like the Washington Capitals will lose Jay Beagle to free agency. The veteran center has a reported three-year deal on the table from the Vancouver Canucks worth $2.5 million a season.
Although with $9.7 million in cap room, that is too high of a price for Washington. After 10 seasons with the Caps, it is time to move on.
A move to Vancouver would put Beagle closer to his native Calgary. Even a move to the Western Conference is more family-friendly than playing the most games on the east coast.
