The Capitals didn't extend a qualifying offer to Alexeyev on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent.
ANALYSIS
Alexeyev appeared in just eight games for the Capitals in 2024-25 after making at least 32 appearances for the club in each of the previous two seasons. He was held without a point last year while recording 14 blocked shots and nine hits over his limited action in the NHL. He'll seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2019
Alexeyev was pressed into duty for the Capitals last year, picking up five assists, 48 blocked shots and 33 hits in 32 games after filling in as an injury replacement. He played regularly down the stretch and should have a chance to take on a full-time role in 2023-24, though he's likely little more than a third-pairing option. Alexeyev will be 24 years old for the bulk of the campaign, and despite his first-round pedigree, he's yet to show enough on offense to really intrigue fantasy managers. He can likely be left on the board on draft day, though it may be worth watching how he adapts to the grind of a full season.
Alexeyev enjoyed a largely successful campaign after being selected 31st overall by the Capitals in the 2019 draft, posting 10 goals and 43 points in 49 games with the WHL's Red Deer Rebels - while adding two goals and six points in seven games for Team Russia at the World Juniors. The 19-year-old suffered a serious-looking knee injury late in the WHL season but has had an almost miraculous recovery, and his availability for the 2019-20 season is not in any jeopardy. Alexeyev has the makings of a top-four defenseman at the NHL level but is probably still at least a year or two away from making the jump.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely for qualifying offer
DWashington Capitals  Free Agent
June 28, 2025
Alexeyev is not expected to get a qualifying offer ahead of Monday's deadline to retain the rights to restricted free agents, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The Capitals made a small trade to acquire Declan Chisholm from the Wild during the draft Saturday, which cramps the team's blue line. Alexeyev was often already an odd man out during 2024-25, failing to record a point over eight regular-season games before playing in all 10 playoff contests after Martin Fehervary sustained a knee injury. Alexeyev was also arrested and charged for public intoxication shortly after the end of the Capitals' playoff run in May. If the Capitals decline to give him a qualifying offer, he'll be an unrestricted free agent, but he may have to settle for a two-way contract if he wishes to stay in North America.
