In this edition of Locked on Capitals. Dan talks about the trade that sent Lars Eller to the Colorado Avalance. The Caps in return get a 2025 second-round pick. Lars Eller was on an expiring contract. Lars will be most remembered in Washington for his great play during the Capitals' Stanley Cup run in 2018. Lars scored seven goals and 11 assists in the 2018 playoffs, including three-game winning goals. Eller scored the double-overtime game-winner against the Blue Jackets in Game 3 of the opening round, the first of four straight wins for the Capitals over Columbus after beginning the series down 2-0.

Later Dan talks about the new deal for Nick Jensen. Before all of the movement this week John Carlson was the only Caps blue liner under contract after this season. The Caps made a move for defenseman Rasmus Sandin. Now with Nick getting a new contract the Caps blue line is really starting to take shape.

In the final segment Dan talks about what other potential moves GM Brian Maclellan will make. Will this team go all in on a youth movement and do callup's from Hershey or will he sign more veteran players. Dan gives his ideas on which direction he thinks the team should go in.
