Of course he’ll announce from Russia at this time of year, but I would be very surprised with this after Ovi wanted very little spotlight on a decision, if it was announced by him in this kind of manner

Always worry that when a player has your number on your favourite team, it never works out as you hoped. In light of this, I’ll be changing to 11 for as long as Tuch is with us

@ukcapitals Genuinely think this could be a win for all parties. Incredibly talented player with blazing speed and an eye for the goal, improved defensively the last couple of years. Some effort concerns at times but can be a game changer, a change of scenery could unlock his potential
Why am I now seeing posts from many people thinking that these moves mean we must be moving Wilson 😂
They love to hate him, love to talk about him, and all want him
Buffalo GM Jarmo Kekalainen said “Alex Tuch will be missed,” but the Sabres are moving on from the talented winger.
He added they will look at a sign-and-trade, with multiple sources indicating Washington as the favourite
“Lazy”, “disengaged”, “coach killer” are some assessments I’ve read of Kyrou. Others are “big upside” “skilled” and “40-goal potential”
Heard this before about someone who looks a strong fit with us, and hopefully this one works out the same way
@JackHussey92 Yeah it does feel like with the young talent we now have, he’s not a heavy part to lose. Hopefully that’s how it turns out long term for us but Gastrin also does well for himself
Don’t hate the cost for Kyrou. Didn’t know enough about Gastrin’s potential to be honest and would have loved it more if we had given up one thing less, but always admired Kyrou’s style and excited to see how it works out for us
NEWS | The Washington Capitals have acquired forward Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues for forwards Connor McMichael and Milton Gastrin and Washington’s first-round pick (16th overall) in the 2026 NHL Draft.
