Top 3 reasons why Daniel Sprong needed to be traded
#1 He deserves a bigger role
Daniel Sprong was not going to get a bigger role in Washington. Let’s hope his recent uptick in production with the NHL’s newest franchise is a cautionary tale for the Caps. They didn’t lose the trade with Anthony Mantha and Jakub Vrana. That trade helped both players and teams. Only time will tell if that will be the case here too.
It’s good to see Sprong already succeeding in Seattle and I hope Kraken fans enjoy him and the coaching staff doesn’t take his play for granted. He’s a bright kid who just turned 25 on St. Patrick’s Day.
The only good thing about this trade is Sprong is not only outside of the Metropolitan Division but outside of the Eastern Conference as well. Maybe someday they’ll see each other in the finals but who knows what direction these two franchises will go in.

The best part about this trade for the Caps is that a bunch of pundits are already predicting a first round exit which couldn’t be better news for this team. They had low expectations in 2018 and took everyone by surprise. If they could come together like that team did, the sky is the limit.
