BREAKING: Washington Capitals Poach New Head Coach From Conference Rival

The Capitals have gotten under a conference rival's skin a little bit by poaching their new head coach from them.

The Capitals have been linked to Leafs assistant coach Spencer Carbery for a little bit now.

Just now, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported that Carbery will be leaving Toronto for a promotion in Washington.

Carbery will be reunited with Rasmus Sandin who went on a tear with Washington last season putting up 15 points in 19 games.

Carbery will also go from one of the greatest goal-scorers in the NHL with Auston Matthews to the greatest goal-scorer of all time with Alex Ovechkin.

This will be a new challenge for Carbery but he has proven time and time again that he has everything it takes to be a coach at every level up to now.
