This week in Capitals talk
The shows spent the week debating whether Washington could be a Larkin destination, with hosts pointing to the team's young pipeline and management's appetite for moves. But the big news became Miroshnichenko getting permission to seek a trade, with other teams showing serious interest. Meanwhile, the talk touched on Washington's quietly solid 6-4 start and a viral moment of Jack Hughes avoiding Tom Wilson.
