NHL Trade Speculation: 7 Teams Where Alex Semin Would Be a Good Fit
All season long, the NHL‘s rumor mill has been churning out potential deals involving the Washington Capitals‘ Alexander Semin, but as things stand today, it appears that Semin will likely remain with the team through the NHL Trade Deadline on February 27th.
While it’s still unlikely that the Caps will sign Semin to an extension before the season draws to a close, the absences of Mike Green and Nicklas Backstrom make Washington more starved for offense than ever before, so General Manager George McPhee may be forced to hang onto the talented winger if his Capitals are intending on capturing a fifth straight Division title.
Due to the fact that Semin’s offensive talent is a near necessity for the Capitals at this stage, it would likely take a king’s ransom in order for another team to pry the former 40-goal scorer away from the only NHL club he’s known.
With that in mind, here are seven teams that would be ideal destinations for the 27-year old sniper.
