Capitals Set to Move On From Van Riemsdyk as Hutson Waits in Wings
The Washington Capitals are preparing to part ways with veteran defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk before Friday's trade deadline, clearing the path for top prospect Cole Hutson to join the team from Boston University. Van Riemsdyk, a six-year fixture on the blue line, has become expendable as the Capitals pivot toward their future on defense, with Hutson expected to arrive in mid-March once his college season concludes.
