The NHL trade market remains relatively quiet following free agency, with Carolina Hurricanes acquiring K'Andre Miller from the New York Rangers. Jeff Marek suggests that more trades are on the horizon, highlighting the Washington Capitals as a team to watch. The Capitals were close to acquiring Nikolaj Ehlers but missed out in free agency. While they retain many forwards from last season, they aim to boost their top two lines with established players, especially considering Alex Ovechkin's potential final season in the league.
One of those insiders is Jeff Marek of the Daily Faceoff, who recently expressed his belief on the Sekeres & Price Show that more trades are forthcoming, explicitly mentioning the Washington Capitals as a team to watch.
I think there will be trades, and I'll tell you the team that I wonder about was the other team that went right down to the wire with Nikolaj Ehlers, and that was the Washington Capitals.
Listen, Washington is a really well-designed team and a really smart team. I think that if there's a team out there that's going to be frisky in the trade market, that may not be a headline maker right now, or we're not expecting to do too much by trading, [it's them].
Let's not forget this is Ovi's swan song season, most likely, in the NHL. I wouldn't be surprised if they go the trade route here.
