Capitals Make Splash in NHL Trade: Washington Acquires Kyrou in Deal with Blues In a move that is expected to significantly boost their offense, the Washington Capitals have acquired 28-year-old forward Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues in a trade that sends forward Connor McMichael, a promising young prospect in Milton Gastrin, and the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft to the Blues. Kyrou, a highly skilled and versatile forward, has been a key contributor to the Blues' success in recent seasons, scoring 25 goals and 45 assists in 73 games last year.
