Well, the Washington Capitals were going to do something at the trade deadline. And they made a big move, just not quite a splash. But it did cause a rift in Caps Twitter so that amounts for something right? They have traded Jakub Vrana and Richard Panik to the Detroit Red Wings as well as a 2021 first rounder and 2022 second rounder in exchange for Anthony Mantha.

Mantha is signed through the 2023-24 season with a cap hit of $5.
