"It appears the Washington Capitals, long thought to be one of the most aggressive teams on the forward front as the East's No. 1 seed last season attempts to requalify for the Stanley Cup playoffs, are likely to move on from defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk either way - with Cole Hutson on the way once his Boston University season ends."
"TVR has been with the Capitals for six seasons after originally signing with the team as an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. The Caps are the team he has played the most games with in his career (366) after prior stints with the Carolina Hurricanes (206) and Chicago Blackhawks (158)."
"After playing in all 82 games for the Capitals last season, TVR has found himself in the press box as a healthy scratch on more than a few occasions this year. In the 47 games he has dressed, the 34-year-old blueliner has recorded eight points (2g, 6a)."
The Washington Capitals are expected to move on from defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk ahead of the March 6, 2026 trade deadline. Van Riemsdyk, a 34-year-old who has spent six seasons with the Capitals since 2020, has seen limited playing time this season, appearing as a healthy scratch multiple times. In 47 games dressed, he has recorded eight points with an average ice time of 15:32 per game, his lowest since joining the team. The primary reason for the potential trade is the arrival of top prospect Cole Hutson, a 2024 second-round pick from Boston University who leads the team in scoring with 28 points in 31 games and is expected to join the Capitals by mid-March.
