Deadline Day – Deal 8: Belanger to Washington

Trade:
Washington gets: Eric Belanger
Minnesota gets: 2nd Round pick
Analysis:
Yet another flexibility and depth move for the Capitals. Belanger has a little scoring touch, plays some good defense at forward and can play center or wing. The problem here for the Capitals is that they’re overburdened at the moment with forwards. With just over an hour to go til the deadline, I’d have to think there’s another move coming here.
Belanger’s contract expires at the end of the year so Minnesota had no problem moving him and getting a 2nd Round pick for him is a solid return.
