Capitals' general manager Chris Patrick expressed intent to aggressively seek a high-skilled forward. After missing out on Nikolaj Ehlers, the team is turning to the trade market. Reports indicate the Seattle Kraken may be willing to trade forward Jared McCann. McCann, the Kraken's leading scorer for four seasons, has achieved at least 61 points each season, with a career-high 70 points in 2022-23. McCann has averaged significant ice time while ranking highly in points efficiency, making him an appealing option for the Capitals.
Jared McCann is another name to look at, out in Seattle. His name started to pop up around the trade deadline; he's still available. He's somebody that we've been hearing that Seattle is also open to moving.
McCann has been the Kraken's leading scorer in all four seasons they have existed as an expansion franchise, posting at least 61 points in the last three seasons.
With his career high of 70 points during the 2022-23 campaign, McCann demonstrates a high level of performance that could benefit the Capitals.
Averaging 16:38 of time-on-ice per game, McCann has ranked 19th in total points per 60 (2.42) over the past three years, highlighting his efficiency.
