2. Washington Capitals land Jake DeBrusk from Boston Bruins
With the amount of depth they lost due to the retirements of team legends Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, it's actually a bit surprising the Boston Bruins haven't been more active in the trade market. Right now, the team's top-six centers are Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle, and while those two have been good players throughout their careers, they won't be enough for a team with aspirations of winning the Stanley Cup.
The Washington Capitals are no longer the postseason powerhouse they once were, and apparently, they've been sniffing around for top-six wingers, such as Conor Garland. Well, Jake DeBrusk is a lot better than Garland, but his cold start to the season is putting a major dent in his free-agency plans. These two clubs did major business with each other last season, and maybe they'll revisit talks again.
Evgeni Kuznetsov is still a good player, but he's 31 now and playing on a bad team. He's probably better than what the Bruins already have, but it would be a surprise if he's anything more than above average these days.
