MUIR TO WASHINGTON

The Washington Capitals acquired defenseman Bryan Muir from the Los Angeles Kings for future considerations.

What does it give the Washington Capitals
The Capitals need bodies right now, so Muir might help in a short-term capacity. However, the club is in trouble if they have to rely on Muir all season.

What does it give the Los Angeles Kings
The Kings had no plans for Muir, who would have probably played in Europe before the trade. Therefore, the future considerations likely won't amount to much.
