Blackhawks Among Teams Showing Trade Interest in Capitals Winger
The trade speculation has already begun for the Chicago Blackhawks this season, with NHL insider Frank Seravalli reporting Tuesday on […]
The Chicago Blackhawks, seeking more offensive firepower, are actively pursuing trade options with the Washington Capitals' Ivan Miroshnichenko. The 22-year-old Russian winger, who has spent most of his career in the AHL, has played only 34 NHL games since rejoining the Capitals in 2023-24. In 55 career NHL games, he has six goals and eight assists for 14 points.
The Blackhawks, who rank 31st in goals scored per game and 32nd in 5v5 shot attempts per game, are among several teams interested in Miroshnichenko. Washington is reportedly considering sending Miroshnichenko back to the Hershey Bears farm club, but he's no longer waivers-exempt, meaning another team could claim him. The Capitals are seeking a package similar to what Columbus received for Egor Chinakhov, who was traded to Pittsburgh last year.
The trade would provide the Blackhawks with the size, skill, and shoot-first mentality they need, but it carries some risk given Miroshnichenko's limited NHL experience.
