Capitals land Kyrou in blockbuster trade, send four firsts to Blues
Washington adds a 20-goal scorer but burns four top-100 picks in a high-stakes gamble to extend Ovechkin’s chase for another Cup.
The Washington Capitals have landed a proven 20-goal winger by acquiring Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for four first-round picks. The deal, completed on July 1, 2024, immediately strengthens Washington’s top-six and gives Alex Ovechkin another skilled linemate as the 48-year-old chases a second Stanley Cup.
