Breaking: Big center on the move in Wednesday night trade!

We have a trade in the National Hockey League, and hopefully this is the one that gets the ball rolling for all other NHL general managers.

According to a report from Minnesota Wild insider Mike Russo of the Star Tribune, the Wild have made a trade that will send 24-year-old center Tyler Graovac to the Washington Capitals in exchnage for a 2018 5th round draft pick.

Graovac despite being a very late pick in the seventh round(191st overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft played in 52 games for the Wild last season, picking up 7 goals and 2 assists and putting his natural physical gifts on full display. 

The hope for the Wild of course is that by getting a pick two rounds earlier than the one they initially used to acquire Graovac, they can flip it into an even better player down the road. 

The Capitals on the other hand get an imposing center that will add depth up the middle on their roster.
