Washington Capitals are looking for a top-six forward, focusing on Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues. With the potential of Connor McMichael beginning the season as a center, the Capitals face a forward gap, especially on the wing. The Blues are open to trading Kyrou due to his hefty contract and the emergence of Jimmy Snuggerud. Kyrou, 27, has consistently scored around 70 points per season and ranks high in five-on-five production, making him a valuable target for potential teams, including the Capitals.
"The Blues have been open to moving Kyrou, not just because it's an expensive deal with $50-plus million remaining on it, but also because they've got Jimmy Snuggerud in the pipeline ready to play in the NHL."
"Kyrou, 27, is a three-time 70-point winger in the NHL, recording 70 points (36g, 34a) in 82 games this past season."
"Over the past four seasons, Kyrou has averaged 17:37 of time on ice per game for the Blues, with an average of 2:31 coming on the power play."
"He is one of the most productive five-on-five forwards in the NHL, recording 2.32 five-on-five points per 60 minutes over the past three seasons."
