Larkin to the Caps trade proposal dead on arrival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Dylan Larkin situation in Detroit has been hanging over hockey for almost four months now without an end in sight. It is only a matter of time before the Red Wings pull the trigger on a deal, but so far there's only been rumors. Yesterday, Jonathan Vankin over at Heavy.com proposed a trade that would ship Dylan Larkin to the Washington Capitals for center Pierre-Luc Dubois, rookie center Ilya Protas, and a first round pick in 2027 as well as in 2028. With all due respect to Vankin, this is a
5 takeaways after the Capitals first two preseason games (opens the original)

The Washington Capitals played the Flyers last night in Hershey. The Caps won 5-2, one night after the other half of the lost to the Bruins in Beantown 3-2 in a shootout.

This year marks the 30th year Beninati and Laughlin will be in the booth together, longer than any other broadcasting duo in the NHL. Beninati and Laughlin have seen it all from their perspective above the ice. Together since the finals days at the old Capital Centre to the cur
Another Caps player is on the cusp of career milestone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A number of Capitals players could reach significant career milestones this season. Forward Tom Wilson is one of them, with a chance to score his 500th career point mark. Wilson, the Caps alternate captain as well as arguable their best all-around player, has become one of the most feared players in the NHL. With size, speed, skill, and snarl, there is no other player in the NHL that brings to the ice what the Capitals’ alternate captain does each night. About to begin his 14th season, Wilson is
