MONTREAL, June 27 -- The Washington Capitals completed a trade on the second day of the NHL draft. It's just not the one they had hoped to swing when the weekend began.

General Manager George McPhee sent prospect Sami Lepisto to the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday for a pick in next year's draft. But the Capitals left Bell Centre without making a trade to fill their biggest void: a second-line center.

'There wasn't a lot of [trade talk] that went on here,' McPhee said. 'There may be more of that next week and closer to camp. We're not going to force anything. The season doesn't start until October.'

The NHL draft passed without the eye-popping deal for a star like Vincent Lecavalier that some expected, but the Montreal Canadiens made their fans happy just the same.
