The Washington Capitals are clinging onto their hopes of one last Stanley Cup run with their current core, and now, it appears they're looking to add significant firepower to that group. <h2>Washington to target Vancouver Canucks winger Andrei Kuzmenko</h2> According to NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman, the Capitals may have found their next big trade target, as the team is reportedly interested in Andrei Kuzmenko of the Vancouver Canucks. At 27-years of age, Kuzmenko has had a solid start to his career in the NHL, as he has tallied 45 goals and 91 points in his first 110 games with Vancouver, and while the team is making a Cup push of their own, this is a deal that could make sense. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/CanucksArmy/status/1733665900719694256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1733665900719694256%7Ctwgr%5Ea44772cb86df9fd8fc0cdb16aa5c32f1ef780b9c%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.houseofhockey.net%2FCapitals-Pursuing-Russian-Star-in-Massive-Trade-313617'> </a></blockquote></div> <h2>Could a no-trade clause prevent this deal from happening?</h2> One major obstacle to this deal being done is a no-trade clause, but with the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Ivan Miroschnichenko, the Capitals are in as good a position as any to bring him in regardless. <img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/353295.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /> Ultimately, this is a team that's lacking in high-end offensive talent, with no player on the roster over 20 points to start the 2023-24 season, so Kuzmenko would fix a lot of those problems, so keep an eye on the Russian connection in Washington.
