Late trade... Caps acquire Sprong from Ducks for Djoos -- https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/02/washington-capitals-acquire-daniel-sprong.html

From this afternoon's AFD for Wed afternoon/evening:

Nice to see Sheary back... kind of sad we traded Kahun though

Still looks like a chance Wednesday afternoon-evening for some storms... probably nothing severe, but would be nice to see some lightning and hear some loud rumbles of thunder...

Wonder if the Caps are done after getting Kovalchuk last night... Pens grabbed Marleau... Islanders/Flyers/Blue Jackets have made moves today

Penguins have acquired Marleau from the Sharks for a 3rd round pick in 2020 - https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/02/patrick-marleau-traded-to-pittsburgh.html

@nj2va @Chris78 @nw baltimore wx @Scraff Lol 3rd round pick for Kovalchuk... doubt he sees much ice time besides being on the 2nd PP unit or maybe the 4th line https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/02/capitals-acquire-ilya-kovalchuk.html

Hornqvist and Crosby within 30 seconds... nice
