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

[Jeremy Garrett HNH @HockeyNewsHub]

Source says #ALLCAPS Alexander Ovechkin will announce his decision on whether to extend or end his NHL career on July 25 in St. Petersburg as part of the "2026 Match of the Year."

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

[Washington Capitals @Capitals]

Alex Tuch will wear 8️⃣9️⃣ with the Washington Capitals

@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

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

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

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Not sure how all the pieces fit yet, but Alex Tuch will be traded to Washington and extend 

8 x $10.5M

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

Sounds like something is imminent 🚨

[Kevin Weekes @KevinWeekes]

👀 @Capitals are heating up !

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

Interesting. Caps are favourites for Tuch

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

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

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

“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

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

@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

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

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

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Of note: Kyrou waived his no-trade to go to the Capitals

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

@Mastro72 And it felt like he kinda knew something was in the offing with his end of season Instagram post

[Washington Capitals UK 🇬🇧 @ukcapitals]

Oh double wow! 😧

Gutted that it’s the end of Connor McMichael in D.C. but it always sounded like he was one of the most likely moves

[Emily Kaplan @emilymkaplan]

Big trade. Jordan Kyrou to Washington.

The return is Connor McMichael, the 16th overall pick as well as a prospect, per sources.

[Washington Capitals @Capitals]

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.
