Evgeny Kuznetsov called Alex Alexeyev 'a fool' for thinking he'd be anything other than the 7th defenseman after re-signing with Capitals
Briefly

Sanya Alexeyev is so happy after the season,' Kuznetsov said per a sports.ru transcription and translation by Google Translate. 'I have two more years.' I say: 'You're a fool. Now they'll sign someone and you'll be the seventh [defender] to ride [the bench most] of the year' - 'No, what are you getting at?'
'In the end, they took (Joel) Edmundson, leaving (Rasmus) Sandin and (Martin) Fehervary. That's three left [defensemen]. And [Alexeyev's] signed for another two years.'
The Capitals acquired Edmundson in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens on the first day of free agency, sending two draft picks north of the border for the physical, injury-prone veteran. The deal came nearly a month after Alexeyev re-signed.
