The Washington Capitals for the most part remained the same this offseason. The only change came among the defense when they traded away Brenden Dillon. Many fans wanted to see the team trade away Evgeny Kuznetsov and despite the strong rumors the Caps decided as of right now to keep Kuzy for another season. Perhaps this is his last chance to prove himself.
That’s why Kuznetsov will bounce back in 2021. It is because the team elected to give him one more chance. That belief in their center that he can regain his 2018 form is an encouraging sign.
