Evgeny Kuznetsov‘s uncertainty in Washington

Sammi Silber of The Hockey News: The Washington Capitals appear to be ready to move on from Anthony Mantha, but what is going to happen with Evgeny Kuznetsov?

His production decreased to 55 points and he has two years left on his deal at $7.8 million. There is the report that he’s asked for a trade and he’s switched agents. He’s not going to be an easy move for the Capitals.

They could keep him into next year and hope that his play improves and his trade value increases. He did say that he was playing through some issues last season. Can new head coach Spencer Carbery get Kuznetsov re-focused?
