Evgeny Kuznetsov responds to report that he has requested a trade from the Capitals
Russian outlet Match TV released a report on Saturday saying that Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov has requested a trade away from the Washington Capitals through his agent. The report included further mention that Kuznetsov has been asking for the move for two years.
The news was buoyed by hockey insider Elliotte Friedman’s take on Sportsnet’s 32 Thoughts podcast that the Caps and Kuznetsov “have been headed towards potentially a divorce” for the past couple of years.
Kuznetsov had his first chance to respond to the rumors after Capitals practice on Monday.
