A big piece of the Washington Capitals Stanley Cup run Evgeny Kuznetsov has made it clear he wants out of Washington.
It has been reported long before that the Russian-born forward was no longer content with playing in Washington but now it is clear.
Capitals GM Brian MacLellan entered this off season with the goal of trading either or both of Evgeny Kuznetsov and Anthony Mantha with the hopes of making the team younger and more consistent.
It looks as if Kuznetsov time as a Capital is coming to an end.
