This season, he has slotted into seven contests and has yet to record a single point. With seven defensemen all ahead in the pecking order in Washington, the Capitals no longer needed the young Siegenthaler.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Devils, who waived <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/v\/vatansa01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sami Vatanen<\/a><\/strong> earlier today, they add more youth to their roster and start to focus on developing and growing their players. All they remove is a third-round pick, which can always be later regained by selling off some of their assets at the incoming 2021 NHL trade deadline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What This Means Moving Forward<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This deal does not carry a whole lot of weight for either team. It signals that the Devils are likely to sell off defensemen at the deadline and puts a focus on their young players. Again, after placing defenseman Vatanen on waivers, it&#8217;s clear what path the Devils are going down. Continue to watch for players such as Vatanen, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/murrary01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ryan Murray<\/a><\/strong> and other upcoming unrestricted free agents. As for the Capitals, according to CapFriendly, it does not give them any sort of cap space. They are still left with $0 in remaining space, ultimately meaning that this deal does not help in setting up a potential deal at the deadline. It releases them of a player they were not using much of. It also earns them an asset in the form of draft capital.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to keep checking out Last Word on Hockey as we continue to provide news and analysis.
