The Capitals' lone move on deadline day was acquiring Anthony Beauvillier from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for their 2025 second-round pick. He brings forward depth and replaces Jakub Vrana, who was claimed off waivers by the Nashville Predators on Thursday.

The NHL trade deadline is just a few days away, and that means that many of the league's teams have been evaluating their respective rosters. Several teams are capable of contending for a Stanley Cup this year,

Sellers around the NHL from Philadelphia to San Jose, Mikko Rantanen and the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers were winners at the trade deadline

The fit feels great for Washington’s bottom six, and while the cost is a bit exorbitant, what Beauvillier has shown this season makes it passable. Either way, it’s a big win for the Penguins. Beauvillier was a reclamation project, and they turned him into someone worth a second-rounder. This time last year, he went for a fifth. That’s tidy work.

Anthony Beauvillier was traded to the Washington Capitals by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday for a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

After being acquired from Pittsburgh at the deadline, winger hopes to bring grit, speed and energy as newest addition to Eastern Conference-leading Washington’s lineup.
