The Washington Capitals have a clear plan for their 17th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. They are aiming to select a defenseman or center to diversify their roster, with prospects like Adam Jiricek and Stian Solberg in consideration. The draft event will take place in Vegas in June. Igor Chernyshov is a strong candidate for the 17th pick, possessing the potential to become a significant power forward for the Capitals. The team is strategically positioning themselves for proactive roster improvements, especially regarding defensive optimization and the potential unpredictability of the upcoming draft. Charlie Lindgren, the team’s primary goaltender, has shown outstanding performance and may be considered for a contract extension after assuming the starting role.

They brought in PLD and now Mangiapane! How about bringing Mantha back? I thought he was a dynamic Cap.
With back2back Calder Cups, how many AHL prospects are close to the big show?
It's my birthday and all I want is SMART moves for my team in the upcoming days!!!!!! 👀 maclellen don't let me down!
Ok … That "how crazy does Brian Maclellen get" comment made me laugh 🤣❤️💙 Dan!

Always an exciting night
Mangiapane was a fantastic add, he is an absolute work horse! caps fans gonna love his nose for the net and great shot! Love this move. Hope the caps go with the best available player at the draft, would love to see them add another forward 1st round and go for a d later in the draft.
We know Ovechkin wants another Stanley Cup and we know Ovechkin is skating on borrowed time. We also know Ted Leonsis is loyal to a fault. I'm going to suggest BMGM has the green light (or is it the red light?) to make any deal he can swing.
The Caps should try to aggressively move up into the top 12 and grab themselves a defenseman. Iorio and Chesley are good prospects, but neither projects to be first-pairing calibre. We need a blue chipper at the d-position to succeed Carlson. 2 years from now, we're effectively looking at a d-core of Sandin and Fehervary and not much else.
This draft has a plethora of high-potential D-man options. With Levshunov, Buium, Parekh, Dickinson, Silayev and Yakemchuk available, at least one should fall into that range.
With McMike, Lappy, Miro, Cristal, Protas and Leonard we already have a very underrated pool at the forward positions. And let's not forget a dark horse in Trineyev who had a great year in Hershey this year.
