Capitals land Kyrou from Blues, waiving NTC for a fresh start in Washington

The Washington Capitals acquired Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Connor McMichael, Milton Gastrin, and the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. Kyrou waived his no-trade clause after the Capitals’ strong late- game pursuit, saying it’s nice seeing a team really want him, and he projects to bring speed and scoring to a Capitals lineup that has helped revitalize players. He’s coming off a knee procedure and plans to be fully healthy this season, reuniting with former teammate Jakob Chychrun and potentially sharing a locker room with Alex Ovechkin.

Blues ship Kyrou to Capitals for McMichael, a Swedish prospect and a 16th overall pick

The St. Louis Blues traded winger Jordan Kyrou to the Washington Capitals for forward Connor McMichael, prospect Milton Gastrin and the Capitals’ No. 16 pick in Friday’s NHL Draft, while St. Louis adds four first-round selections (Nos. 11, 15, 16, 29). Kyrou, 28, had been the Blues’ leading goal scorer for three straight seasons but posted a down 2025-26; his contract runs through 2031 with an $8.125 million cap hit and no salary retained. McMichael, 25, had 14 goals and 46 points in 78 games this past season; Gastrin, 19, is a Swedish prospect projected as a bottom-six forward. The move signals a rebuild-or-retool approach for the Blues and a bid by the Capitals to add a dynamic winger for the present and future.

Draft Sparks Trade Talk: Five Stars Who Could Change Hands This Offseason

As the 2026 NHL draft looms, a handful of big-name players are flagged as potential trade targets: Matthew Knies (Maple Leafs), Jason Robertson (Stars), Vincent Trocheck (Rangers), Dougie Hamilton (Devils), and Jordan Kyrou (Blues). Knies could be moved to land defensive help and future picks, Robertson is a coveted yet potentially stay-put asset for Dallas, Trocheck offers a high-value center option for contenders, Hamilton might be traded to clear cap space, and Kyrou could be an attainable chip for retooling the Blues. The piece frames the draft as a key window for teams to swap stars for immediate help or futures.

Blues dominate Capitals in messy defeat.

The St. Louis Blues defeated the Washington Capitals 5-2 in an "important" game, according to Caps head coach Peter Laviolette. Sammy Blais scored two goals for the Blues, while Jordan Kyrou, Kasperi Kapenen, and Brayden Schenn also found the back of the net. Martin Fehervary and Nicklas Backstrom scored for the Caps, but it wasn't enough to overcome their defensive meltdowns and lazy passes. The Caps have now given up a goal on the first shot they have faced in three straight games.
