The Washington Capitals have traded defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for the Arizona Coyotes’ 2021 third-round draft pick. The Devils acquired the pick in the Taylor Hall trade.
The New Jersey Devils get a solid defensive defenseman who can be part of their future plans, and the Capitals get a pretty decent draft pick in return. The trade also allowed Washington to shed $800k in cap space, a potentially important move with the trade deadline approaching tomorrow.
Jonas Siegenthaler, traded to NJ**, has barely played this season but put up crazy defensive results in a 3rd pairing role in his previous two seasons with the Capitals.
