Listen "Capitals Eye Trade for Brock Nelson as Ovechkin Pursues Gretzky's Record Amid Playoff Race"
Episode Synopsis
The Washington Capitals are considering a trade for New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson as they near the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline, despite his dip in performance this season. They have a limited salary cap space of $3.65 million and may need to trade players like Sonny Milano or younger prospects to facilitate the deal. Milano has returned to full practice after an injury but lacks a clear timeline for returning to games. Additionally, Alex Ovechkin is 11 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal record, with play-by-play announcer Joe Beninati eager to call these historic milestones. Upcoming Capitals games are set to be nationally broadcasted, with major networks interested in covering Ovechkin's goals, while the final game against the Pittsburgh Penguins holds significance given their slim playoff chances.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.
