The head coach “Washington » Spencer Carbury said he was happy to Evgenia Kuznetsova after his exchange in “Caroline” .
On Friday, Carolina announced the transfer of the forward following a trade with Washington. For the 31-year-old Russian, the Capitals received a third-round pick in the 2025 draft. Washington will continue to pay the hockey player 50% of his salary.
“When I learned of the exchange, I was happy for him, for his family. It will be a new beginning for him.
But I also thought about everything he did for our club. Sometimes a story doesn’t end the way we all want it to. And then we focus on the negative side. Don’t forget what he did for the team. He has always played an important role in our victories.
I talked to Ovechkin about it. I’ll leave the details to us. But you have to maintain human relationships. “All members of the team are worried about their partners and wish them all the best,” Carbery said, as quoted by the Capitals press service.
Kuznetsov is a Stanley Cup winner with Washington, for whom he has played throughout his NHL career since 2014. This season, the forward scored 17 points (6+11) in 43 games for Stolichny.
