The Capitals made a couple trades last night that will affect the way the Bears' lineup looks for the rest of the season. The first trade was a minor one for the Caps, but it affected the Bears the most. Washington traded Chris Brown to the New York Rangers for Ryan Bourque (Chris Bourque's brother). This season, Brown played 1 game for the Caps and 20 games for the Bears. In those 20 games, he had 9 points (3 goals, 6 assists). Brown played in 96 regular season and 9 playoff games for the Bears since the 2013-14 season. Ryan Bourque has played in 56 games for the Hartford Wolf Pack this season, with 24 points (10 goals, 14 assists) to his credit. He has played in 325 regular season AHL games and 1 NHL game (with the Rangers).
The second trade was a bigger one for the Caps, but still affected the Bears' lineup. Washington traded Brooks Laich, Connor Carrick, and a second-round pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Daniel Winnik and a fifth-round pick. Brooks Laich had been the Caps' longest tenured player before this trade. Laich played 10 regular season and 21 playoff games for the Bears in the 2005-06 season. Carrick had played 47 games for the Bears this season, with 26 points (10 goals, 16 assists) to his credit. In total, he had played in 133 regular season and 10 playoff games for the Bears, with 37 regular season games in the NHL (all with the Capitals).
