Washington Capital's General Manager makes a bold statement about team's future
Since their cup run in 2018, the Washington Capitals, have been a first-round phenomenon and it sounds like MacLellan will be ready to move whoever he needs to move, including making use of the Capital's cap space, which according to spotrac.com is $6,539,167.00 currently.
It sounds like he will make use of trades in the off-season so it will be interesting where his next move is, after moving Holtby, the Capitals have had not-so-reliable goaltending in net.
MacLellan on the summer ahead: «We've lost in the first round the last four years. We're going to explore changes. I don't think anything is off the table.»

Capital's Captain Alex Ovechkin may not suffer consequences, but the core he won the cup with might, with an aging John Carlson it seems like aside from a few prospects and Tom Wilson, a rebuild is in order.
"[It's] a kinda f---ed up situation," said Capitals' captain Alex Ovechkin of the team's dry spell. "I think you see how we played against the best team in the regular season. We have it, but we just blow it away. It is on us. It is on me, on [Nicklas Backstrom], on [TJ Oshie], on [John Carlson]. It is on everybody."
