You guys, the Swedes On Bikes era is officially over in Washington.

The Capitals just traded away forward Marcus Johansson to the New Jersey Devils for a second and third round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft.

Johansson is coming off his best season as a pro. During the 2016-17 campaign, Johansson scored 58 points (24 goals, 34 assists) in 82 games and tallied the series-ending goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first-round of the playoffs.

The trade frees the Capitals of Johansson’s $4.6 million cap hit and leaves the team with $9.2 million to add nine more players to the roster.

The Capitals are in salary cap hell and this move helps partially solve it, but they are getting pennies on the dollar for one of their most unheralded players on the roster. Bummer.
