Description

So the signs all seem to be set in motion that the Washington Capitals will at least attempt to move on from Evgeny Kuznetsov this offseason. The question is which team would he actually go to? And I actually think it's Ottawa. He can go there and become an immediate top six guy for them at Center or on the wing, and Ottawa has the cap room to add a big piece like Kuznetsov to try and compete for a playoff spot next year.

I don’t know if DJ will like either of Kuzy or Monahan on this team. They both can get 60-75pts a year but they play no defence. DJ would probably want a comparable to Cirelli or Eriksson Ek

I'm not sure about OTT, but I could see ANA, LAK, MIN, SJS, VGK, DAL, CBJ, FLA, and BUF all having varying degrees of interest.
