Washington Capitals Make Roster Move: Capitals Acquire 2027 Fourth-Round Pick from New Jersey for Declan Chisholm In a bid to reshape their roster, the Washington Capitals have made a surprise trade, sending defenseman Declan Chisholm to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round draft pick. The move marks the latest in a series of roster adjustments by the Capitals, who are looking to bolster their lineup for the upcoming season. Chisholm, a 25-year-old defenseman, has been a key contributor to the Capitals' blue line, but his departure may create an opportunity for younger players to step up and claim a roster spot. With the NHL draft just around the corner, the Capitals' decision to trade a veteran player for a draft pick suggests they may be looking to the future as they build towards a potential playoff run.
