Report - Washington Capitals could be looking to move a big name on forward this summer

For starters, the Capitals may need to be on the look out for a new bench boss as Peter Laviolette is set to be a free agent on the coaching side of things and as of today, it's unclear if there have been negotiations on a new contract.

But in terms of their roster, it appears that the Capitals could be looking to move on from one of three big names on forward, according to NHL.com's Dan Rosen.

Rosen is reporting that the Capitals may be gearing up to move on from either Anthony Mantha, Evgeny Kuznetsov or Tom Wilson this summer.

The trio are are all under contract for at least next season, with Mantha and Wilson become unrestricted free agents in July 2024, while Kuznetsov will become a UFA in 2025. Both Kuznetsov and Wilson have modified no-trade clauses, which could make it harder to move them, but Mantha, who has an AAV of $5.7 million, might be the toughest to move due to his inconsistent play, combined with his high salary for the statistical output he had this campaign.

Which of Mantha, Kuznetsov or Wilson should Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan try and move this summer to help create cap flexibility? Let us know in the poll below!
