What do the Washington Capitals look like in the future after this year’s draft picks?



With Justin Trudel of Nova Caps

The Washington Capitals made significant moves in the draft, acquiring players like Terik Parascak, Cole Hutson, Leon Muggli, and Logan Thompson. Parascak signed an entry-level contract with a maximum annual salary cap hit of $975,000 and is expected to return to Prince George next season. The Capitals are also looking to make significant additions to the roster during the upcoming offseason, with a focus on bolstering the top six forward positions. They have the resources and cap space to leverage these opportunities, with a primary focus on re-signing restricted free agents. The Washington Capitals are gearing up for potential roster changes following the trade for Pierre-Luc Dubois. General Manager Brian MacLellan is expected to be proactive in strengthening the team’s top six forward positions, with upcoming free agency and pre-draft deals seen as prime opportunities. With a substantial number of draft picks, the Capitals are well-positioned to make significant additions. The team currently has around $12.935 million in cap space, with additional space from Nicklas Backstrom’s long-term injured reserve status. Internal roster management and re-signing restricted free agents are the team’s primary focus for the offseason.

  1. I think the best way I can put this is, nobody knows how these moves will workout. All moves have a risk to them. But can we sit here and say the caps are in a better place than they were last offseason at this time? Absolutely. By this time last year, disappointment ran over me. I think the caps did an amazing job finding players that could potentially fill the holes that were evident last season without giving up their top prospects or first round picks. Let’s see how it plays out but I have a lot more excitement entering this season than last.

  2. I think PLD has finally found his home. Will become the face of the franchise and score 40 goals and 90 points several times.

  3. Having the right perspective is everything. The incorrect perspective is Kemper for Dubois. The right perspective is Dubois for $3.25 for 3 yrs, then $8.5 for the final 4 yrs, plus opening up a spot for Logan and possibly Shepherd down the road. ($3.25 is the differnece from Kemps contract as backup goalie). Dubois will improve our PP, get more minutes, and hopefully gel. Easily worth the risk with huge payout potential. How could you not want to be here? New head coach, new GM, All-time goal scorer, strong locker room, family organization…This team will only get better from here in the foreseeable future.
